De Gokyo Meren Trek is het beste alternatief voor de klassieke Everest Base Camp Trek. Het is een spectaculaire wandeling van lodge naar lodge die ons naar enkele van de adembenemend mooie landschappen van de Khumbu streek van het Solukhumbu district voert. Trekkers zullen versteld staan bij het zien van de gletsjersystemen van de Gokyo meren die hoofdzakelijk uit zes meren bestaan: Gokyo Cho (Dudh Pokhari), Thonak Cho, Gyazumpa Cho, Tanjung Cho, Ngojumba Cho, en Kyajumba Cho. Staande bij Gokyo Ri (5357m / 17570ft) zijn trekkers getuige van de meest verbazingwekkende panoramische uitzichten op de bergen, waaronder vier van de zes hoogste toppen van de wereld: Mt. Everest (8848m) -de hoogste piek, Mt. Lhotse (8516m) -vierde hoogste, Mt. Makalu (8485m) -vijfde hoogste, en Mt. Cho Oyu (8188m) -zesde hoogste, en talrijke andere toppen van de Everest regio, en de hele Gokyo vallei.

Verkenning van de etnische Sherpa cultuur waarbij je warme gastvrijheid krijgt van de immer glimlachende plaatselijke bevolking is een ander onderdeel van de tocht. De religieuze heiligdommen (kloosters, chortens, steegjes, en manenmuren), culturele monumenten (museum), en de manier van leven tonen dat de mensen de eeuwenoude culturen en tradities in stand houden.

Binnen het Sagarmatha Nationaal Park (het hoogst gelegen nationale park ter wereld dat zich uitstrekt van 2835 m tot 8848,86 m boven zeeniveau.), kunnen we diverse Himalaya wilde dieren zien, waaronder Himalaya Tahr, Ghoral, Muskushert, Pikka (muizenhaas), Wezel en af en toe Jakhals. Aan de andere kant zijn Himalaya Zwarte beren, Wolf, Lynx en Sneeuwluipaard hier zelden geziene dieren.

Een korte maar schilderachtige vlucht van en naar Lukla, dorpen Lukla, Phakding, Monjo, Namche Bazaar, Khumjung, Dole, Machherma, en de Gokyo vallei zijn enkele van de populairste plaatsen om te verkennen tijdens deze 13-daagse Gokyo Meren wandeling, die een mengeling van avontuur en verrukking zal zijn.

Een inleiding tot de Gokyo meren

De Gokyo meren, de hoogst gelegen ongerepte watermeren, liggen ongeveer 5.000 m boven de zeespiegel. Gletsjers omringen deze meren, passen, en de met sneeuw bedekte Himalaya, gelegen in het Khumjung gebied van het Solukhumbu district in noordoost Nepal.


De Gokyo meren combineren vijf heilige meren, waarvan Gokyo Cho (Dudh Pokhari) het hoofdmeer is, Thonak Cho het grootste meer, en Ngojumba Cho het kleinste.


Niet alleen de natuurlijke, Gokyo meren dragen ook een religieuze betekenis. Bij de speciale herdenking van het Janai Purnima festival


Hierbij komen honderden Hindoes naar Gokyo om te baden in het oude water van de geheiligde meren. De mensen vereren de Nag Devata (slangengod) en hebben een tempel gebouwd voor de Hindoeïstische godheden Vishnu en Shiva.


Voordelen van de Gokyo Meren Tocht

Deze tocht voert naar de minder drukke en stillere vallei, een van de perfecte alternatieven voor de Everest Base Camp Trek. Dan, de Dudh Koshi rivier volgend, stijgt de tocht naar zijn bron Gokyo Cho (Dudh Pokhari). Dan, lopend langs de Ngozumpa gletsjer, de grootste gletsjer in de Himalaya, krijgen trekkers een onvergetelijke ervaring.


Genietend van het glanzende, oer- en blauwe water van de Gokyo Meren, kunnen trekkers 360-graden panoramische berggezichten vastleggen van Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, Cholatse, Taboche verschillende andere pieken.


Samen met de zonsopgang en zonsondergang over reusachtige pieken, verkennen trekkers tijdens de tocht een gevarieerde flora en fauna. Opnieuw kennismaken met de Sherpa cultuur, levensstijl, festivals en wonen is een ander bevestigend aspect van deze reis.


Gokyo Meren Trek Route

We beginnen onze tocht naar de Gokyo Meren met een boeiende ochtendvlucht naar Lukla(2840m) vanuit het vliegveld van Kathmandu (1350m). Het duurt ongeveer 40 minuten om vanuit Kathmandu in Lukla te landen, en de vlucht gaat tussen de heuvels, besneeuwde toppen, en valleien door met het uitvergrote uitzicht op de Himalaya. Op dezelfde dag maken we een korte wandeling naar Phakding (2610 m). Phakding is een klein dorp met talrijke hotels, theehuizen, en kleine theeschenkerijen.


Op de volgende dag stijgen we naar Namche Bazaar, een dorp met talrijke verrassingen. Namche Bazaar, beroemd als toegangspoort tot de Everest, is een toeristisch knooppunt waar alle benodigdheden voor de trektocht verkrijgbaar zijn. Versnellingswinkels, restaurants, cafés, banken, geldautomaten, bakkerijen zijn overal te vinden.


Alvorens verder te stijgen naar Dole, Maccherma (algemeen bekend als Macchermo), en de Gokyo Vallei, houden we halt in Namche Bazaar om te acclimatiseren. Uiteindelijk landen we in Gokyo (4790m/15715ft), onze eindbestemming. We trekken rond in de Gokyo vallei en laten ons onderdompelen in de schoonheid ervan. Prachtige besneeuwde landerijen omringen de Gokyo meren. De smeltende sneeuw vormt het ongerepte water van de meren.


De volgende dag, vroeg wakker, lopen we naar een uitdagende maar lonende beklimming naar Gokyo Ri (5350m), het hoogste punt van de hele tocht. Gokyo Ri is beroemd om zijn onbelemmerde uitzichten. Het dichtst mogelijke uitzicht op Mt. Everest en zijn omringende pieken ziet er adembenemend uit. Evenzo zien de Gokyo meren, de hele Gokyo vallei, de Ngozumpa gletsjer, en de ijzige omgeving er vanaf dit punt ontzagwekkend uit.


Alles verkennend wandelen we terug naar Lukla via dezelfde weg van beklimming. Vanuit Lukla nemen we een ochtendvlucht naar Kathmandu en sluiten onze epische reis naar de Gokyo Meren af.
