Gokyo and Everest Base Camp Challenge
Planned for March 2020, this challenge only arrived in April of 2022.
Those two years gave me the opportunity to explore (online) what the Himalayas had to offer, so the idea of doing the Everest Base Camp trek evolved to the challenge of doing Gokyo and EBC trek in 13 days. For now I leave here my program and some pictures from this incredible journey.
DAY 01: Fly to Lukla (2,840M / 30 minutes), trek to Monjo (2,840M) (5 Hours)
DAY 02: Short Trekking to Namche Bazaar (3,440M / 4 Hours)
DAY 03: Rest and acclimatization day in Namche Bazaar
DAY 04: Trek to Dole (3,980M / 7 Hours)
DAY 05: Trek to Machhermo (4,410M / 7 hours)
DAY 06: Trek to Gokyo, hike little higher to valley if time permits (4,760M / 5 - 6 Hours)
DAY 07: Climb to Gokyo Ri (5,357M) (3 hours) + Thaknak AKA Dragnag (4,700M / 5 Hours)
DAY 08: Cross Cho La Pass (5,400M) early morning and reach Lobuche (4,910M / 11 Hours)
DAY 09: Trek to Gorakshep (5,140M / 3 Hours), hike to EBC (5,364M / 2 Hours) and return Gorakshep (2 Hours)

DAY 12: Trek to Lukla, final night in Himalayas (2,840M / 7 Hours)

Namaste.
