Gokyo Ri and Kala Patar
Maximum Elevation 5545 metres (18,250 feet)
This trek offers an alternative to the traditional trek to Everest base camp.

From Gokyo Ri four 8000-metre peaks (Cho Oyu, Everest, Lhotse and Makalu) are visible at once. Descend to Phortse, make a high traverse to the village of Pangboche and climb on towards Everest Base Camp.
