On day 5 of the trek we leave Kyangjuma and climb up to Dole through lovely forests. As leave leave the main EBC trail we finally reach the 4000m mark and temperatures begin to drop.
The Gokyo Lakes & Everest Base Camp circuit is a slightly longer route than the traditional EBC trek. It detours from the normal route and heads up the Gokyo valley to Gokyo. Here there are stunning blue lakes, and a steep climb up Gokyo Ri at 5347m, with some of the best views of Mount Everest you will find. From Gokyo you cross the Ngozumpa glacier (longest glacier in Nepal) and the Cho La pass (5361m) back into the Khumbu valley, and then head for base camp (5364m) via Gorak Shep.
I travelled with Exodus Travels, a UK travel company, and our local team were Footloose In The Himalaya, both of which I can thoroughly recommend. Our group was a group of 13, all of whom were wonderful people, and a fantastic mix. I thank them all for their friendship and sharing the experience.
