Overview

Explore the majestic heights and serene valleys of the Everest region with our meticulously crafted 18-day Everest Chola Pass Trek in Nepal. This extended adventure offers a deeper, more immersive journey into the heart of the Himalayas, blending iconic trekking routes with off-the-beaten-path experiences that showcase the region’s natural grandeur and cultural richness.

Embark on a Journey of a Lifetime

Our journey begins in Kathmandu, the vibrant capital of Nepal, where you’ll be welcomed at Tribhuwan International Airport. From here, a scenic flight takes you to Lukla, a small airstrip nestled among the mountains. This thrilling flight offers an aerial view of the Himalayan giants, setting the stage for your trekking adventure.

Immerse Yourself in Sherpa Culture

Traversing through picturesque alpine forests and crossing roaring rivers, our trek leads you to Namche Bazaar, the bustling heart of the Khumbu region and a cultural hub of Sherpa communities. Here, amidst the backdrop of Ama Dablam and Lhotse, you’ll acclimatize and soak in the unique Sherpa hospitality and traditions.

Tengboche Monastery and Spiritual Serenity

Continuing our ascent, we visit the iconic Tengboche Monastery, adorned with prayer flags fluttering in the mountain breeze. This spiritual center offers a moment of reflection amidst panoramic views of Everest and its neighboring peaks, a surreal experience that deepens your connection with the Himalayan landscape.

Everest Base Camp: The Ultimate Destination

The highlight of our trek unfolds as we reach Everest Base Camp, a legendary pilgrimage site for mountaineers and adventurers alike. Standing at the foot of the world’s tallest peak, you’ll be surrounded by the towering majesty of Everest (8848m), Nuptse, Lhotse, and Pumori. The sense of achievement and awe is unparalleled as you absorb the pristine beauty of the Khumbu Icefall and the vast Himalayan panorama.

Chola Pass Adventure: A Test of Skill and Spirit

Our journey takes a challenging turn as we ascend to the formidable Chola Pass (5300m). Crossing glaciers and navigating rocky terrain, you’ll experience the thrill and triumph of conquering this high-altitude pass. The panoramic views from the pass, including the glaciated peaks of Cho Oyu and beyond, reward your efforts with breathtaking vistas that defy description.

Gokyo Lakes and Tranquil Serenity

Descending into the serene Gokyo Valley, you’ll discover a hidden gem of the Everest region: the shimmering Gokyo Lakes. Set against the backdrop of Cho Oyu (8201m), these pristine alpine lakes reflect the pure, untouched beauty of the Himalayas. A hike to Gokyo Ri offers a bird’s-eye view of these turquoise jewels, framed by the snow-capped peaks that dominate the horizon.

Return Journey and Reflection

As we trace our steps back through Namche Bazaar, each village and vista evokes memories of our journey—a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the timeless allure of the Himalayas. A final flight from Lukla brings us back to Kathmandu, where you can reflect on your adventure over a well-deserved meal amidst the bustling streets of Thamel.
