The Chola Pass Trek is a unique blend of the Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Lakes treks, offering an extraordinary adventure. On the eastern side of the Cho La Pass lies the renowned Everest Base Camp, while on the western side lies the captivating Gokyo Valley with its pristine lakes. This region is characterized by numerous glaciers, which contribute to the trek’s moderate to strenuous difficulty level. It is advisable to have prior trekking experience or enlist the expertise of a professional guide to navigate the challenging terrain safely and make the most of this remarkable journey.
Nepal’s Himalayas boast numerous world-famous trekking peaks, making it a dream destination for mountain enthusiasts. Among these incredible peaks, the Chola Pass trek stands out as one of the best options to explore the beautiful mountains of the Khumbu region. People from all corners of the globe visit Nepal every year, driven by their love for the mountains. We highly recommend trekking the Cho La Pass after reaching Everest Base Camp and before venturing into the captivating Gokyo region. This sequence allows for an optimal trekking experience, maximizing the scenic beauty and acclimatization process along the way.
The elevation gain from Dzongla to the top of Cho La is relatively lower compared to the ascent from the Gokyo side. The itinerary of the Chola Pass trek typically includes two days of acclimatization in Namche Bazaar and Dingboche, strategically placed to minimize the risk of altitude sickness. By the time you reach Kalapatthar and Everest Base Camp, you will have already surpassed the altitude of the pass. This routing makes the Chola Pass trek easier to follow, as you transition smoothly from the Everest Base Camp trek to the Gokyo Lakes trek via the Chola Pass. It ensures a gradual acclimatization process and enhances your overall trekking experience.
The best seasons to embark on the Gokyo Ri and Cho La Pass trek are from March to May and from September to the mid-week of December. This period offers favorable weather conditions and clear visibility, enhancing your trekking experience. The standard duration of the trek is usually between 17 to 21 days, but it can be extended if you choose to include another trek alongside it. Our Gokyo Ri and Cho La Pass trek package ensures excellent facilities, including accommodation, meals, necessary permits, and comprehensive arrangements to make your trip successful and unforgettable. We strive to provide you with a seamless and memorable trekking experience.
