Useful Info

Best Season for Everest View Trek

The best times to trek the Gokyo Lake Trek are spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). During spring, the trail offers clear mountain views, pleasant temperatures, and blooming rhododendrons in multiple colors. Autumn brings stable weather, clear skies, and exceptional views of Mt. Manaslu and surrounding peaks.
Trekking in winter and monsoon seasons is not advised due to heavy snowfall, closed lodges at higher altitudes, and high landslide risks during the rains.

Food on the Trek

Although food choices are limited compared to city areas, trekkers can expect healthy, hygienic meals throughout the journey. A typical trek includes 12 breakfasts, 12 lunches, and 11 dinners.
Breakfast options include Tibetan bread, eggs, cereals, pancakes, toast, fruits, and hot drinks.
Lunch and dinner commonly feature dal bhat, vegetable curries, noodles, thukpa, pasta, soups, and snacks. It’s best to eat fresh vegetables, drink plenty of water, and avoid mixing dairy, meat, alcohol, and coffee.

Accommodation

In Kathmandu, you’ll find a wide range of hotels, but along the trek, accommodation is mostly at basic tea houses. Rooms are twin-sharing, often with shared toilets outside the room. Tea houses have a communal dining area with a fireplace. In higher altitudes, it’s essential to carry a warm sleeping bag.

Trek Difficulty

The Everest Base Camp Trek is challenging, especially when crossing the 5106m-high Larkya La Pass. The trail is less developed compared to Annapurna or Everest, demanding good physical conditions and prior hiking experience. Mental resilience and preparation are key to completing this high-altitude trek.

Travel Insurance

Travel insurance is mandatory. It must include emergency evacuation and medical expenses, especially for high-altitude treks. Nature Heaven Treks Nepal recommends confirming that your insurer covers adventure activities and trip cancellations.

Altitude Sickness

Symptoms can start at elevations above 3,500m and include nausea, headaches, dizziness, and fatigue.
Tips to prevent altitude sickness:

  • Ascend gradually and allow time for acclimatization

  • Stay hydrated and avoid alcohol

  • Consider taking Acetazolamide (Diamox) after consulting a doctor

  • Descend immediately if symptoms worsen

  • Rest, use portable oxygen if needed, and never ignore warning signs

Recommended Packing List

Essentials include:

  • 50–70L backpack, sleeping bag, headlamp

  • Water bottle/purifier, warm clothes, rain gear

  • Hiking boots, gloves, sunglasses, sunscreen

  • Quick-dry layers, thermal wear, first aid kit, toiletries

  • Personal documents, passport, camera, maps, and guidebook

Your safety is a top priority. Nature Heaven Treks Nepal’s trained guides carry first aid kits and are equipped to handle emergencies. In case of altitude issues, your trek leader will decide whether to proceed or descend. Emergency helicopter rescue is available if required. The team ensures you trek in a group for added safety.
