Gokyo Sacred Lakes

June 29, 2008

Gokyo, Nepal

Here we are at 5,000 meters above sea level at the magnificent Gokyo. The trek here takes about 10 days from start to finish, including acclimatisation. From here, after a day's rest, we wake at 3.00am and climb to gokyo re, a steep walking trail. Sometimes it's freezing cold before the sun comes up so we need to be well prepared. The trail is steep but steady. Not technical.
