The beautiful turquoise water of the Gokyo Lake surrounded by a few of the Highest Mountains of the world is a sight worth watching. The Gokyo Lake Trek follows the high pass of Gokyo Ri and Cho La (5330m) as well. This is further followed by the Dudh Koshi and Khumbu valleys from the homeland of the Sherpa people to the Gokyo valley, which provides breath-taking views of four 8,000m peaks; Everest, Cho Oyu, Makalu, and the largest glacier in Nepal, the Ngozumpa glacier. Gokyo lakes are located in the Khumjung Village Development Committee of the Solukhumbu District in the Sagarmatha Zone in north-eastern Nepal. Gokyo Cho, also called Dudh Pokhari, is the main lake with an area of 42.9 ha (106 acres), and the village of Gokyo lies on its eastern shore. The Gokyo Lake has very important religious values as both the Hindu and the Buddhists consider it sacred.
