The Gokyo Valley Trek is a quintessential journey through the Everest region offered by Skyline Treks, showcasing stunning vistas of majestic mountain peaks and the awe-inspiring Ngozumpa Glacier, the largest in the Nepal Himalayas. This trek is renowned for its association with the towering summits of some of Nepal's most iconic 8000-meter peaks, including Cho Oyu, Everest, Lhotse, and Makalu, all of which grace the horizon from the vantage point of Gokyo Ri overlooking the tranquil Gokyo Lake. Notably, the trek also offers breathtaking views of the immense ice ridge stretching between Cho Oyu and Gyachung, a spectacle nestled within the Khumbu valley.

As a traveler, there is endless number of surprises Nepal has to offer you. Kathmandu Valley with its thousands of Hindu temples, Buddhist stupas, stunning architecture and rich pageantry can be quite beyond words. If you are careful enough not to get entangled in the superficial facade of a flatly "modernizing" capital city, Kathmandu probably offers you as exotic and urban experience as you can get.
Beyond Kathmandu, it’s another world altogether. Most travelers to Nepal want to check out the truly spectacular Himalayas along with the higher hills. A few go there to scale the high mountains, but many are nature lovers who trek along landscapes filled with deep valleys, lush forests, snow trails, terraced fields, and above all, the most hospitable people.
Travelers to Nepal also love making a safari trip to one of the National Parks in Nepal. The most popular one is the Chitwan National Park in the southern plains which hosts a diverse wildlife reserves including the rare Asian one-horn rhino.
