- Trek to Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Lakes
- Conquer Gokyo Ri and Kalapathar
- Helicopter flight back to Kathmandu
- Best of Everest in a single trip
Everest Base Camp Gokyo Lakes Heli Trek covers the main attractions of Everest base camp and Gokyo Lakes in a single trek combined with a helicopter flight out and is a thrilling alternate trek to the Everest Base Camp Trek. This trek includes marvelous scenery of the highest mountains in the world and provides a look into traditional Sherpa culture with a spectacular helicopter flight back to Kathmandu.
The highlight of our journey will be Gokyo Ri [5,357m/17,575ft], Cho La Pass [5,420m/17,783ft], Everest Base Camp[5,364m/17,559ft] and Kalapathar [5,545m/18,193ft]. The trek offers an awe-inspiring panorama of Everest and nearby peaks, the beautiful Gokyo lakes alongside Ngozumpa Glacier and at last a helicopter return to Kathmandu.
Our journey includes two of the greatest viewpoints Gokyo Ri and Kalapathar and a trek across the Cho La Pass [5,420m/17,783ft], the exciting high pass that connects the Gokyo and Everest Valley. The mountain views along the Everest Base Camp Gokyo Lakes Heli Trek include the unforgettable peaks of Everest, Ama Dablam, Lhotse, Cho-Oyu, Pumori, Thamserku, and many more. This extraordinary trek visits the Sherpa homeland and their stately monasteries with a chance to witness the surrounding flora and fauna.
Everest Base Camp Gokyo Lakes Heli Trek combines breathtaking scenery with an adventurous journey into the heart of the Himalayas. The adventure begins with a scenic flight to Lukla, the gateway to the Khumbu region, where our trek commences.
We first make our way to Namche Bazaar, a bustling market town and a hub for trekkers. Here, we spend two nights as part of our acclimatization schedule, including a hike to the renowned Hotel Everest View for stunning panoramic views.
From Namche, we follow the classic Everest trail, passing through picturesque villages like Dingboche and Lobuche. To adjust to the increasing altitude, we spend two nights in Dingboche before trekking higher. After reaching Everest Base Camp and witnessing the awe-inspiring views from Kalapatthar, we retrace our steps to Dzongla.
From Dzongla, we journey through the challenging Chola Pass (5,420 meters), entering the serene Gokyo Valley. This pristine region offers a stunning landscape of towering peaks and the shimmering Gokyo Lakes. At Gokyo, we ascend Gokyo Ri for unrivaled panoramic views of the mountains and the emerald-colored lakes, making this trek an unforgettable Himalayan experience.
What makes this trip unique?
Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Lakes Heli Trek is one spectacular trip that will blow your mind for sure. Trek to Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Lakes, climb to the top of two major viewpoints in the Everest region (Gokyo Ri and Kalapathar) and finally conclude the trek with a helicopter return to Kathmandu instead of trekking down to Lukla to board a plane.
In 15 days, trek to the base camp of the world’s highest mountain, visit Gokyo Lakes, witness panoramic views from Gokyo Ri and Kalapathar and fly back home. We also have kept two rest and acclimatization days at Namche and Dingboche.

Cross Chola pass and trek to Thagnak
Cho La Pass is also another show-up of this trip. Today is the toughest day, and we need to start early compared to other days on the trip. The pass is not itself difficult, but it is steep and involves a glacier traverse on the eastern side. We need to be careful as the trail is vertical, and the rocks glazed by ice add trouble to the trekkers, making the trail slippery. While trekking through the side of a frozen lake, we reach the top of the pass decorated with prayer flags. After Chola Pass, we continue our trek towards Thagnak, where we will spend the night.

The Ultimate Himalayan Adventure: Why Highland Expeditions is the Best Choice
The Ultimate Himalayan Adventure: Why Highland Expeditions is the Best Choice
Highland Expeditions are the best. You can stop looking now. They are absolute pros in their business. You are in 100% completely capable hands from the time you land in Nepal till when you leave. We took a 21 day trek with them to Everest Base Camp, going to Gokyo Lakes, summiting Gokyo Ri, then going over the Cho La Pass and finally to Base Camp. The next day we summited Kala Patthar and then began our hike out. We stayed in luxury tea houses where they were available, which were so worth it. Our Guide, Prasant and porter BB were incredibly helpful, friendly and always looking out for us. They are absolute pros. We were taken care of like kings and queens, supported each day and they gave us the leeway to change our day and schedule around as we needed. We saw many other guides from other companies along our trek and never once did we say to ourselves that we wished “that” other guide was our guide. Prasant is hands down a Gold level guide and if you get him you will be a fortunate group. Passang Sherpa at Highland worked with us to create a custom trip, including exactly what we wanted in the trip, including an extra acclimatization day in Namche (highly recommended!). He responds quick on email, you get his personal cell and also his employees. This was a bucket list for us and something we had been dreaming about for years. It exceeded our expectations in every way. From our pre-tour in Kathmandu to our amazing teahouses along the way to our stay in Kathmandu to our farewell pizza dinner with Passang and Prasant. This is a big decision, we spent hours researching different companies. We are beyond happy with our decision to go with Highland Expeditions.
