Itinerary description
This is part ten from a series of 15 track's showing an a magnicifiant trekking tour we had in October 2017 from Lukla up to Gokyo Lakes (4.750m elevation) and Gokyo Ri (5.360m). From there we did follow the path up and over Cho La Pass (5.375m) and all the way up to Everest Base Camp (+/- 5.350m) on the twelfth day.
After one night sleep in Gorak Shep (5.180m), the world's highest village I think, we headed straight down to Lukla in three long days. This trekking group was made of 18 friends and hikers from Iceland and a great team of locals, including six guides and nine porters.
We started this day very early and crossing the Cho La Pass was a pretty steep trek but the view up there was amazing both back and not least ahead of us.

Crossing Cho La Pass
This was the hardest day of the the route from Gokyo Lakes to Everest basecamp. But we had a great day and clear sky.
