Itinerary description

Show original
From the village of Gokyo, climb to Gokyo Ri, without any difficulty, beyond what represents the ascent of some six hundred meters of altitude that separate the summit of the town and all that above five thousand meters, where it is already begun to clearly notice the lack of oxygen.
Once up, the views are simply spectacular over many of the important peaks of this region of the Himalayas, including three eight-thousanders such as Everest, Lopshe and Makalu.
We return by the same path to Gokyo, where we stop to eat and then leaving the town in direction S, we immediately enter the Ngazumba glacier and after a brief descent on the side, very decomposed terrain, we are already in full glacier, we are following the jitos by clear paths, always above the ice, although we do not see it almost at any time, is almost all covered with stone and earth, sediments that the glacier itself is displacing. It is a very chaotic terrain, continuous ups and downs, sometimes you can see large ice walls that are exposed, others even some small lakes (we are in the lower part of the glacier). Already on the other side of the glacier, we have to gain a few meters to get out of it and then on a good path and in less than an hour we are entering Dragnag, where we finish this route.
