If you're looking for an alternative to the traditional Everest Base Camp trek, the Gokyo Lake trek is an excellent option. Despite being less crowded, it still offers breathtaking views of Mount Everest (8,849 m/29,032 ft) and allows you to stay overnight in the iconic town of Namche Bazaar (3,440 m/11,290 ft), which serves as the gateway to the Khumbu Region. This trek is a perfect choice for those who want to experience the beauty of the Himalayas without enduring the crowds and physical demands of other popular treks.
