Successful Gokyo Chola Pass Trek with Everest Base Camp

In 2022 April, I traveled to Nepal with my family and we had a wonderful Gokyo Chola Pass Trek. Lukla, Nache, Gokyo Chola Pass, and Everest Base Camp were our trekking routs. Our Guide was very helpful and knowledgeable on his job. Porter was friendly and helpful too. It was an unforgettable moment with my family, just say Thanks not enough so we highly recommend Dil Gurung and Nepal Unique Treks Team.
