18 Days, 14 days of moderate trekking at high elevation
beneath the tallest mountains
As the trail to Everest Base Camp became more and more crowded,
a need arose to find an alternative route that could be
equally spectacular in terms of the mountains experience
and views of the worls's tallest peak. The route up to Dudh
Pokhari and Gokyo Ri surpasses the traditional route. As
we follow the Dudh Koshi River towards its source, we pass
Cho-oyu 8153 meter, the sixth highest peak in the world.
Leaving the inhabited world behind, we trek through seasonal
yak herding pastures until, atlast, we reach out high camp
on the shores of Dudh Pokhari (Milk Lake). From here wee
day hike to 5300m Gokyo Ri – the highest point on
this trek- then return to our camp in time for dinner.
