This trek is also known as Everest Circuit trek. The trek is one of the most adventurous treks in the Everest Himalayas. It follows the route via high pass of Cho La at 5330meters into the Base Camp of Mount Everest. The trail to Gokyo is a gradual ascent up the valley passing through patches of birch and rhododendron forest where the elusive musk deer can sometimes be seen.

After crossing the Cho La pass we will eye witness the most beautiful mountain Ama Dablam and Taweche. As we continue towards Gorak Shep and climb to Kala Pattar (5545m), we enjoy an impressive up-close view of Mt. Everest. Our return route passes through Tengboche, a magnificent location with a fascinating monastery. We will also see magnificent views of Everest, Ama Dablam, Kantega, Kwangde, Nuptse, and Lhotse.
