Gokyo Lake Trek via Renjo La Pass is an ideal adventure for those trekkers who are willing to sacrifice the valuable experience of Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar for a more varied and quieter experience. In this trek, you will see the lovely villages of the High land, unique lifestyle, mesmerizing lakes, and walk past enchanted forests abounding with wildlife, as well as panoramic views of Mount Everest from Gokyo Ri. Some of the major highlights of this trek are lovely settlements and villages in the mountains with local activities as well as strong faith cultures and a vast assortment of natural landscapes, from open fields to rhododendron forests.
The Gokyo Lake Trek starts at Lukla with an amazing flight to Tenzing-Hillary Airport from Kathmandu which is a treasure on its own with unforgettable views. Once in the wonderful Lukla which is a prosperous village in the heart of the mountain, the trekking experience will begin. Along the route, you will witness unrivaled best views of the surrounding peaks like Mt Everest, Mt Thamserku, and the Kwangde Peak and also visit the renowned Monastery of Tengboche. It is an ideal trek for trekkers who prefer relatively quiet trails and have limited time to explore this area of Nepal.

VACCINATION FOR NEPAL
Travelers should consult with their physician or update on vaccination requirements before travel. (Your doctor or the health-care provider will determine what you will need, depending on factors such as your health and immunization history, areas of the country you will be visiting, and planned activities). For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you to take vaccination of Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Rabies, etc. However, it is not mandatory but recommended.
ALTITUDE SICKNESS (ACUTE MOUNTAIN SICKNESS)
Altitude sickness, also known as AMS (acute mountain sickness), is caused by a lack of oxygen at high altitudes (normally above 3,000m). It occurs as the result of our bodies’ inability to adapt to a sudden increase in altitude. If given time, our bodies will adjust and a gradual ascent will decrease the possibility of altitude sickness.
PREVENTION OF AMS: Go slowly, drink a lot of water, and pay attention to the sensations of your body. If symptoms occur you have climbed too far for the day. Rest at the same altitude will give you time to acclimatize and usually relieve mild symptoms.
MILD SYMPTOMS: Headache, nausea, loss of appetite, and mild shortness of breath with minimal exertion, difficulty sleeping, dizziness or lightheadedness, mild weakness, fatigue, a general unwell feeling.
SERIOUS SYMPTOMS: The inability to recover from shortness of breath with rest, severe persistent headache, low urine output, vomiting, confusion, delirium, loss of coordination. These require immediate descent as acclimatization will not take place at the same altitude.
The key is to trek slowly, carry a light pack and just take it easy. Allow your body the time it needs to acclimatize.
ARRIVAL INSTRUCTION
Upon your arrival at TIA International Airport, our company's representatives are stationed to pick you up. They will be holding your name sign along with the company's name in it. Our office representative will escort you to your hotel in Kathmandu.

I recently completed a trekking trip in Nepal with Alpha Adventure Treks.
I visited the Everest region (Gokyo Lake and Renjo La Pass); they have a great guide and a great porter; I enjoy their employees (they are extremely friendly and smiling during the trip); their service is excellent, and the guide provides us with a wealth of information about Nepal and the surrounding area. Personally, I'm overjoyed that I chose this trekking company for my Nepal vacation.
