My recent trek to the Himalayan Mountain range, more particularly, a round trip to Everest Base Camp and Gokyo lakes via Chola Pass was made possible through Himalayan Partner Treks & Expedition Pvt. Ltd. under the management of Ghan Amgain. Ghan is really experienced, knowledgeable and efficient in organizing the logistics of this fantastic journey. Without hesitation, I would recommend him to anyone thinking of making this once in a lifetime trek to the beautiful Khumbu and Gokyo Valley regions of the Himalayan Mountain Range.
The trek was a unique experience for me. I had panoramic and spectacular mountain views of the Khumbu and Gokyo valleys. With the friendly and knowledgeable guide, Raju, I was introduced to the different peaks – Amadablam, Cholatse, Taboche at lower altitudes and as we went higher we marvel at Pumori from Kalapathar; the picturesque Cho Oyo behind Lake Gokyo and the spectacular and majestic Mt Everest with nearby peaks of Lhotse, Tawetse and Nuptse, best seen from Gokyo Ri but visible also from several other viewpoints. My guide, Raju provided useful information and valuable assistance at every stage. Last but not the least, I met friendly Sherpa people all along the trek, tending to their vegetable gardens, teahouses, yaks, mules etc in addition to the many friendly and like-minded trekkers in search of and in admiration of the wonderful wilderness of the Himalayas.
