Rejola Pass -
Chola Pass Trekking Everest Region Nepal
|
The ultimate challenge is the trek across Cho La Pass (5,420m), which takes
18-21 days and covers both the Gokyo Lake area and the Everest Base Camp.
There are some short and interesting "climbs" of Gokyo Ri, Chukkung Ri and
Kalapatthar for the classic views of icefalls and glaciers of Mahalangur
Himalayan range which comprises of five major 8000+ m. peaks - Everest, Cho
O Yu, Lhotse, Lhotse Shar and Makalu |
 |
Gokyo &
Kalapathar via Cho La pass itinerary, one of Nepal's most famous treks to the
Khumbu Mountains & Sherpa country. After a magnificent mountain flight to Lukla
we follow the Dudh Kosi valley to Namche Bazaar. 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. Through small yak-grazing
settlements we reach the Gokyo lakes where we climb the Gokyo Peak (5480m) and
enjoy stunning summit mountain scenery including Everest, Makalu and Cho Oyo.
After the Cho La pass, we reach Dzongla. The views of Ama Dablam and Taweche are
spectacular. After the Zhongla ascent, we continue towards Gorak Shep and climb
to Kala Pattar (5545m) from where we enjoy an impressive up-close view of
Everest. Our return route passes through Tengboche, a magnificent location with
a fascinating monastery, where we rest and savor the incredible scenery,
including magnificent views of Everest, Ama Dablam (6856m), Kantega (6809m),
Kwangde (6194m), Nuptse (7879m), Lhotse (8511m) and many more…
