Day 15 Monjo to Lukla - EBC & Gokyo Lakes Circuit - Himalayan Trek, Nepal 2022

The final trekking day back to Lukla from Monjo. We made our way through the villages in the lovely forrested valley. The temperature was high, like a hot British summer, which made for a fantastic final day of hiking.
The Gokyo Lakes & Everest Base Camp circuit is a slightly longer route than the traditional EBC trek. It detours from the normal route and heads up the Gokyo valley to Gokyo. Here there are stunning blue lakes, and a steep climb up Gokyo Ri at 5347m, with some of the best views of Mount Everest you will find. From Gokyo you cross the Ngozumpa glacier (longest glacier in Nepal) and the Cho La pass (5361m) back into the Khumbu valley, and then head for base camp (5364m) via Gorak Shep.
I travelled with Exodus Travels, a UK travel company, and our local team were Footloose In The Himalaya, both of which I can thoroughly recommend. Our group was a group of 13, all of whom were wonderful people, and a fantastic mix. I thank them all for their friendship and sharing the experience.
