Gokyo

This pristine alpine village sits beside the turquoise Gokyo Lakes at 4,790 meters in the Everest region. Climbers and trekkers come here for the spectacular views from Gokyo Ri peak, which offers panoramas of four 8,000-meter giants including Everest and Cho Oyu. The village provides a quieter alternative to the busy Everest Base Camp route while delivering equally stunning mountain vistas.
