Shivalaya-Gokyo-Cho La Pass-EBC Trek
“I did the 21 days Shivalaya-Gokyo-Cho La Pass-EBC Trek and was totally happy with it. The landscape and the mountains are just incredible. Giri, my guide, took good care of me during the whole trip and answered all my thousand questions about the life in Nepal. 🙂 Also Chhatra in the office was very helpful in planning my trip beforehand. If you plan to do this trek as well, definitely bring some warm clothes and be ready for tons of other tourists. Especially the EBC trail is super busy. The first week though will be pretty quiet and if you want an insight in the local and rural life of Nepal the part from Shivalaya to Lukla is highly recommended. On Cho La Pass you have to walk for a short part on a glacier. While it’s doable with normal trekking shoes it’s definitely more comfortable to walk this part with some crampons on. And last but not least, make sure you have an extra day or two spare before your international flight, when flying out of Lukla. Even though the weather is a bit more stable towards the end of the year, days without any flights still can happen occasionally. So all in all I had a very good time on my trek and a big thank you for that goes out to Giri and Chhatra.”
