Gokyo Ri Trek takes you to the top of Gokyo mountain and Gokyo, one of the world’s highest altitude settlements consisting of a few stone houses. At the foot of the world’s highest mountain, Gokyo is an excellent place to view five of the world’s tallest mountains: Mt Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Kanchenjunga, and Cho Oyu. Sometimes the views from some places in Gokyo and Gokyo Peak are better than that from Kalapathar. Therefore Gokyo Trek has emerged as an alternate to the classical Everest treks that typically feature Kalapathar as the central vantage point.
