Your wellbeing is our top priority. Bookings are now more flexible, and a full refund is guaranteed should departure dates shift due to any extenuating circumstances.
Covid-19 Full UpdateWe have devised several guidelines and updated our booking policies to ensure safety and peace of mind of our trekkers. Before booking a trip with us, please review the following health and safety protocols, as well as flexible cancellation and refund policies.

Travellers also need to confirm that they are not experiencing any Covid-19 symptoms, are not under any self-quarantine orders, and have not been in contact with someone suspected or confirmed with Covid-19 symptoms.

Body temperature is measured before you enter the terminal, in-flight food services are suspended, and bags are disinfected.

Where the highest mountains of the world meet the most beautiful lakes, you are assured nothing short of a spectacular time on Gokyo Lakes Trek.
In light of the pandemic, several safety and health protocols are in full effect. Well-being of our trekkers is our top priority. Bookings are now more flexible, with possible full refund upon cancellation.
Is this trek for me? All our treks, including Gokyo, are carefully designed with proper acclimatization measures - comfortably paced walks and several acclimatization stops on the way. If you are a moderately fit person with a prior multiday trekking experience, Gokyo Lakes Trek is definitely for you! The trails start off wide and eventually dwindle to rocky trails as you gain elevation. The weather can get iffy and cold, esp at elevations over 3,500m (11,482ft). Throughout the trek we stay at standard mountain lodges with clean and comfortable rooms.
Get spellbound with the jaw-dropping beauty of the sacred and tranquil turquoise lakes of Gokyo, the world's highest freshwater lake system. | |
Climb Gokyo Ri (5,357m) for the remarkable panoramic views of including the World’s highest mountains- Everest (8,848m), Lhotse (8,516m), Makalu (8,485m) and Cho Oyu (8,188m). Witness the burning colors on the horizon as the sun sets golden over these magnificent mountains. An experience of a lifetime! | |
Experience Himalayan lifestyle and culture up close in the Sherpa capital. Follow yak caravans, get baffled with Yeti tales, and chant prayers with monks in monasteries. | |
Traverse the diverse trails- from coniferous and birch forests alongside blue waters to highland pastures and glacier moraines. Keep an eye out for musk deer and exotic birds as you pass these landscapes. |

We take an early morning flight to the popular mountain town of Lukla accompanied by our lead guide. The 30-min flight is an exhilarating experience with some turbulence and plenty of breathtaking Himalayan views.
In Lukla, the rest of our local team (assistant guides and porters) will join us. Before heading off to the trails, we’ll have a quick introduction and briefing over breakfast. Our lunch spot for the day is Phakding, a four-hour pleasant walk from Lukla and the night stop, Monjo, lies two hours farther ahead. The trails on the first day pass through exciting suspension bridges and tiny village settlements following the Koshi river.

What are mountain lodges?
Mountain lodges are the basic accommodation set up by locals to cater to trekkers in the trails. The common features across all lodges are standard rooms, a spacious and heated dining hall, and a restaurant with an extensive menu. Services like battery charging, Wifi and hot showers (solar/gas heated) are available for an extra fee. Moreover, it is mandatory to have meals in the facility you’re staying at. |

Services like battery charging, Wifi and hot showers (solar/gas heated) are available for an extra fee. Moreover, it is mandatory to have meals in the facility you’re staying at.
The rooms in mountain lodges generally have two or three twin beds with a mattress and blanket. We make sure that the lodges we select have clean rooms and change their bed sheets regularly. Other amenities could be a table, hanger, and dustbin but do not expect to have charging ports and attached toilets in the rooms.
Toilets are usually common to a floor and could either be western or squat style. In lower elevations, attached toilet options are available. However, the options get limited to shared toilets as we go higher (above 3000 meters). Make sure you carry your toilet papers and soap.
Lunch and dinner are left out from price includes to give you full flexibility on meals, depending on your appetite and preference. Our hotels have a wide selection of food and drink options.
For vegetarians and vegans, or if you have any other dietary requirements, please let us at the time of booking so we can make arrangements.
You can carry some quick snacks and energy bars to munch on during the trek.
The baggage limit is 20kgs per passenger, a policy set by the airlines for Lukla flights. Excess weight is allowed at an additional expense. However, we recommend sticking to the weight limit as the porters would need to carry it throughout the trek.
One lead guide and assistant guides (depending on the number of trekkers) will accompany you on the trek. All our team members are highly experienced in the mountains, with adequate trail knowledge and first aid training. Feel free to reach out to anyone for any kind of queries or emergencies as we leave no stone unturned to give you a great mountain experience.
On the trails: Although PCR report is not mandatory, we’ll follow health and safety guidelines throughout the trip like wearing a mask (especially when we’re near a village or locals), maintaining a safe distance, washing hands, and using hand sanitizer frequently. Please respect and follow local health guidelines. Service providers: We’ve handpicked hotels that specialize in quality service and disinfect rooms along with the physical amenities (like doorknobs, phones, and possible areas of contact) before every check in. Airlines protocol: Domestic and international airlines, along with airports, have set safety requirements for travellers, which include wearing masks and face shields. Body temperature is measured before you enter the terminal, in-flight food services are suspended, and bags are disinfected. Likewise, physical distancing needs to be maintained while queuing, boarding, and de-boarding flights. |
You must obtain travel insurance for the trek. This should cover emergency evacuation and medical expenses. Make sure that the policy also covers you for height up to 5000m above sea level prior to purchase as the majority only cover up to 4000m. |
The guide will have a well-equipped first-aid kit at all times. It’s best to avoid common problems like foot blisters and knee pain with proper packing. Please go through our equipment and medical checklist for better preparedness. If you have any pre-existing health conditions please let us know when booking. Pack your passport, flight tickets, phone, wallet, camera equipment, cash, and all your valuables in your day pack or waist belt. Please don’t leave them in the vehicle. Please don’t bring or carry expensive items like jewellery etc or a large sum of cash while travelling for security reasons. |
You can refill your water bottle with boiled or bottled drinking water available at lunch spots and hotels. Your guide will carry plenty of drinking water, so please ask him/her if you need a refill. We highly discourage buying plastic water bottles during the trek for environmental reasons. If you’re looking to purify untreated water, steriPEN, LifeStraw, or purification tablets can be good alternatives. |
If you have any issues or emergencies while trekking, please contact the lead guide or anyone from the team. They will help you contact the nearby hospitals, transport, ambulance, police office, army checkpoints, embassy, and even facilitate rescue operations. We will also send you a list of relevant emergency contacts before the trip starts. |
Please don’t litter, and also dispose any trash properly (you can hand them to your guide). Plucking flowers and vandalizing trails is off limits. We’ll leave the beautiful trails as we found them. |
Heavy alcohol consumption dehydrates your body and doesn’t pair well with trekking for obvious safety reasons. We recommend you limit your alcohol intake to a minimal amount during day time. Let’s wait till the evening to raise a glass or two. |
It’s advisable to ask permission of the locals before taking their photos, although by experience we can tell that they love being photographed. Strict drone policies are enforced throughout Nepal – so please don’t fly drones on the trip. |
What makes group travel fun is the diversity. This also means that there will be people of all different ages, physical fitness, and walking pace. Please be mindful and respect the time allocated by your lead guide to avoid any inconvenience to the group. |
Possible expenses, other than meals, could be drinks, laundry, tipping, and shopping. Please make sure you have read the inclusions thoroughly so you know what you might need to pay for while travelling. |
Our trips are planned to the last detail. However, there might be unforeseen circumstances arising from factors beyond our control (like political unrest, strikes, bad weather, natural calamities, bad road condition, airport closure, flight cancellations, etc). For this reason, please set aside Rs. 20,000 as reserve fund. |
A service charge with tips are included by most hotels and eateries in their bills.
You are welcome to give some gratuities to the trekking crew if you like their service.
We encourage feedback about your trip experience. Your input is valuable in helping us enhance our services.
Any form of physical violence or verbal abuse, harassment, solicitation of prostitution, or possession or use of illegal drugs or illicit materials is strictly prohibited.
Giving money and handouts to beggars, especially children, is highly discouraged.
All national parks and many hotels do not allow pets inside their premises. There are also stray dogs in most villages, which can lead to attacks and dog fights. We therefore don’t allow pets on the treks for safety reasons.
