Explore Everest
The Great Himalayan Journey
For trekkers who don't want to choose between Base Camp and Gokyo — a combined, extended itinerary that takes in both valleys and the pass between them.
The idea
Rather than picking one route, the Great Himalayan Journey links Everest Base Camp and the Gokyo Lakes through the Cho La pass, so the acclimatization built up on the first half of the trek carries directly into the second instead of the two being separate trips. It's built from the same route segments as our Three Passes itinerary but paced more generously, over more days.
Time commitment
Expect around three weeks door to door — long enough that it suits trekkers who have already decided this is a once-in-a-while trip worth taking properly, rather than fitting a fixed two-week window.
