Trekking in Nepal is one of the most delightful adventures the world has to offer. This classic walk through the Sherpa homeland of Solu- Khumbu is a moderately strenuous high altitude trek to have an Everest without climbing it. Much to their surprise, many people find the snout-like Everest out-ranked by peaks like Ama Dablam and the Lhotse wall. Khumbu is the best region in Nepal for close-up mountain views, Enshrined in Sagarmatha National Park. The trek to the Gokyo Lakes offers an alternative to the traditional trek to Everest base camp. From Gokyo, more of Everest itself is visible though from a slighter greater distance than from Kala Pattar. The mountains are more spectacular, and from a ridge above Gokyo called Gokyo Ri, four 8000 meter peaks (Cho Oyu, Everest, Lhotse and Makalu) are visible at once as well as the great Nguzumpa Glacier (the largest in Nepal) below. The view of the tremendous ice ridge between Cho Oyu and Gyachung Kang is one of the most dramatic panoramas in the Khumbu so it can be the most interesting journey and best trek for your whole lifetime.
