Trip Highlights
Everest Base Camp-Chola Pass-Gokyo trek is one of the most exciting and adventurous trekking routes in the Khumbu region. The route starts from Lukla and reaches Gokyo Lakes, Gokyo Ri and the high points of Cho La Pass. The trek also allows you to discover the rich culture of the Sherpa people.

The trek also includes the Cho La Pass, which is one of the three major passes in the region. This mountain pass leads to Gokyo-Ri and then leads to the main Everest trail. The hike to the Cho La pass is also a technical one, since the trail goes through icy terrain. It is advisable to use microspikes for this trek.
The trek also features Kala Patthar, which is a famous viewpoint for the Everest area. The views of the snow-covered peaks of the region are breathtaking. You can also take a side trip to the Khumbu Icefall, which is a natural frozen waterfall that is located in the Himalayan valley. The trail to the Khumbu Icefall will be easier if you're prepared.

Trekking Poles
Trekking poles, one or two depending on the terrain and how much support you might need, are very useful for assistance with walking rhythm and stability on rough terrain. They are essential equipment which you must carry during trekking.
Wraparound sunglasses offer the broadest protection against UV damage because they block more of the light that hits your eyes from the sides. Sunglasses with large lenses and wide temples provide the next-best protection.
SPF measures sunscreen protection from UVB rays, the kind that cause sunburn and contribute to skin cancer. Dermatologists recommend using a SPF50 or SPF50+ sunscreen during trekking trails.

During trekking there may be some rain as well as snowfall, so to be protected from cold and keep your body warm you need a down jacket.
A fleece sweater, or just a fleece, is a lightweight casual sweater made of synthetic polyester wool such as polar fleece. It will provide thermal insulation but is not usually weatherproof, so wind and rain will not be effectively kept out. For trekking during the daytime it is fine. Long underwaer and track pants for night wear and under trek pants if cold during the day.
While trekking you need long some good quality woollen hiking socks which provide warmth as well as comfort. We recommend you to buy some extra pairs of woollen socks for your journey.
