Some visit the Gokyo Lakes as part of the Everest Base Camp tours but Driftwood Adventure prefers to visit the Gokyo Lakes as a stand-alone trip. Find out why the Everest Gokyo lake trek is an amazing destination of its own.

The sparkling, pristine blue and green waters of the Gokyo Lakes are one of Nepal’s most memorable sights. They are a series of six spectacular lakes. The lakes are situated at altitudes of between 4,700m and 5000m, making them some of the world’s highest freshwater lakes. The Gokyo Lakes are situated in the beautiful Sagarmatha National Park, which is also the home to Mount Everest.
