Gokyo Chola Pass Trekking
7th November, 2022
“I am a passionate trekker and adventure lover and already made many adventurous treks around the world. So, as per my gallant nature I choose the high pass trek to do in Nepal and booked for Gokyo Lake and Chola pass trek through Skyline treks.
So in a nutshell my Gokyo Chola pass trek was rewarding but harsh as well. I found this high pass trek as a ruler of amazing adventure. Overall the trek was breathtaking with professional trek guide Ang Ngima Sherpa and support staff.
Yummy food for tummy and well-furnished accommodation were the perfect part of the trek. The regular oxygen and BP reading manner throughout the trek by the team Skyline kept us inspired and positive about our physical fitness.
Skyline treks most responsible and caring organization filled with expertise, so they deserve high recommendation.
