We completed a 14-day trek to Gokyo Lakes and Everest Base Camp (no Cho La Pass). The trip was incredible, and we highly recommend joining Gokyo in your EBC trek. Nepal Hiking Team did an excellent job—despite a monsoon causing delays and cancellations of flights in and out of Lukla, Ganga went above and beyond to manage our transportation.
Our guide, Dilman, was fantastic throughout the trek; he ensured we had the best accommodations in teahouses and led us on several side treks to enhance our acclimatization and enrich our experience of the area. One tip: consider adding a few extra days in Kathmandu at the end of your trek to accommodate potential travel disruptions due to unpredictable weather.
