This is a real trek, and we are ready to call Gokyo Everest Base Camp Trek the king of treks because it takes you to the place out of your imagination, and it is full of adventures, full of beauties, and full of hospitalities in the remotest region on earth where life is so simple. The trekking trail goes up and down, takes you to the ridges; it also takes you on the side of the hill. It gives you a time to experience a new thing in your life, and whatever thing it gives you during Everest Base Camp Gokyo Trek, you have to accept it because it is giving you what it has for thousands of years, the beautiful view, the real trekking trail, and the mountain life. After all, the region is Everest, where you can expect the flow of glaciers from the mountains, and those mountains have created beautiful mountain lakes in the middle of the hills, which are surrounded by snowy peaks. Both things will make you wonder with their unparalleled beauties, and the second question you should ask is why I didn’t come to this early in my life. The trekking trail takes you to the world of remoteness, the world of beauties, and the world of silence. The trail is lonely like a man, like Robinson Crusoe, but it is happy with what it has, and as you walk this trekking trail, you would ask several questions, perhaps you would like to compare this with your city life. And as you spend a night by the lake, by the blue lake, this is once in a lifetime moment, and you should describe this moment by using words that will satisfy your readers like friends and relatives that will inspire them to find beauty in the remotest thing of the world. Gokyo Ri is another highlight of this trek, and you may jump to the conclusion that it is the best highlight because you are going to see from there the view that you have never seen in your life before; you will just keep praising the view of the mountains from there along with you trekking guide. Gokyo Ri is even the best viewpoint of the guide, so you can imagine how this viewpoint will satisfy your eyes, hearts, and mind.
