Gokyo lakes & Gokyo Ri trek...so close to Everest! How magical was that!!

After 10 days of trekking, and reaching around 5400m high we came back at 2800m in Lukla. 10 days of great effort and pure joy to enjoy beautiful sceneries and landscapes covered with snow. We were very lucky as usually there is not so much snow at this season but the Indian cyclone brought lots of rain in Kathmandu mid October and thus snow on the mountains. Gokyo lakes, Gokyo Ri, the view on Everest....absolutely breathtaking. The plan is now to continue walking but not up....just down to the south east of Nepal, in Diktel, to visit and participate in a school created by Madan Rai (See portrait section). Another 6 days of walk ;-) We are sick and exhausted...! Visit the Nepal page! Or the Foodies and Portraits pages.
