Gokyo Lake Heli Shuttle Trek Overview

The Gokyo Lake Heli Shuttle Trek is one of the most beautiful trekking journeys that Roving Nepal Trek presents to its clients. With a total span of 11 days, you will visit the iconic Khumbu region and get into the Gokyo Lake which is sacred. This particular lake has a religious belief amongst the Hindus and Buddhists which makes this journey even more special. Through Sagarmatha National Park region you have a chance to embrace the small villages, rare wildlife, and many more. The maximum altitude that will be gained during the 11-day trek is 5364m. This proves that Gokyo Lake Heli Shuttle trek can be tough for some of the trekkers so have some mild experience.

Is the Gokyo Shuttle Heli Tour worth it?

If you are booking with Roving Nepal Trek as your trekking agency, it is worth it. With the beauty of the Khumbu region and the chance to stay at an altitude of 5000m doesn't come every day. Although you will need to pack and train well to enjoy the trip fully, Roving Nepal Trek will help you in every step. Trekkers need to complete 6-8 hours of trekking every day which could be demanding. Every trekking opportunity that goes through to double digits is hard but at the end of the day, it is worth it. From brilliant mountains, food, and people, the Gokyo Shuttle Heli Tour is worth every penny.

Best Time to Do the Gokyo Lake Shuttle Heli Tour?

After you have planned for the Gokyo Lake Shuttle Heli tour you might be confused about when to choose the right time. To answer the query, the perfect time seems to be between March-May and September-November. Often known as the spring season, the weather is clear and there isn't much rainfall or snow which makes the journey quite easy. With no rain, there are hardly any issues of poor trails. Similarly, September to November is termed be autumn season. During this season you will have cool weather along with the festival vibes in Nepal. Local communities during this period are highly welcoming. Apart from these two when we talk about the winter Gokyo Lake trek things become very tough. As the lake freezes due to the cold weather, it is impossible to enjoy the actual beauty of the place.

Cost of Gokyo Lake Heli Shuttle Trek

The cost of the Gokyo Lake Heli Shuttle trek depends upon the client. Not only that it will also depend upon the service that will be prescribed by the clients. If you are looking for luxury services then the cost will automatically increase while the cost decreases on shared services. All you have to do is call Roving Nepal Trek to know the actual cost and also other facilities you will be provided during the overall trek.

How Tough Is Gokyo Lake Heli Shuttle Trek?

The toughness of the Gokyo Lake Heli Shuttle trek depends majorly on the individual. It is fair to understand that you will be flying above 5000m. Anyone with no experience of treks previously might find it very tough to complete the trek. But with the proper guidance from Roving Nepal Trek, the journey becomes very easy. It is critical to be mentally fit if you want to pursue the Gokyo Lake Heli Shuttle trek. Meanwhile, Roving Nepal Trek would like to suggest trying and doing some workouts and exercises three months before the actual tour.

Alternate Trekking Options to Gokyo Lake Heli Shuttle Trek

If the trekkers aren't willing to do the Gokyo Lake Heli Shuttle trek then Roving Nepal Trek has the right answers for you. In place of Gokyo, you can always have the Everest Base Camp Heli tour or the EBC with Gokyo Lake Heli tour. Even though the costs could be different the experiences are also different in both of the scenarios.

An Unforgettable Journey to Everest Base Camp 難忘的EBC之旅

I traveled the Everest Base Camp (EBC) route in March 2023 with Basu, the guide from Roving Nepal Trek. Even six months later, the journey remains unforgettable and worth recommending to fellow travelers on TripAdvisor. 我在2023年3月，跟著Roving Nepal Trek的導遊Basu遊歷EBC路線，半年之後，旅程依然難忘，也值得我在Tripadvicor推介這位導遊的團隊。 【Outstanding Comprehensive Service 基本服務齊全無缺】 When hiring a guide, what we truly appreciate is the ease of having someone organize the itinerary, and transportation, manage the essential details, and handle administrative procedures along the way. Basu provided all of this and more. Before our departure, he promptly answered our inquiries on WhatsApp, ranging from entry requirements to equipment advice. Basu's fluent English ensured smooth communication, and he efficiently arranged accommodations and transportation for our group throughout the journey, leaving no room for mishaps. 聘請導遊，最簡單直接的當然是貪圖有人為我們遊客安排行程、交通、打點途中特別要注意的事項和行政程序，Basu可以讓我們放心，在出發前他已經在whatsapp解答我們的大小問題，例如入境和裝備，Basu英語流利，溝通沒有障礙，沿途正確地為我們一行人安排住宿和交通，沒有缺漏。 【Adaptability in Itinerary 行程應變妥善】 Basu's adaptability deserves recognition. Initially, our itinerary included a side trip to Gokyo Lake in addition to EBC. Unfortunately, we encountered a snowstorm at the Cho La Pass, a critical point on the route. Basu had been monitoring the weather, coordinating with other guides, and ultimately decided it was unsafe to proceed, avoiding potential danger. 也值得一讚Basu的應變，本來我們的行程除了EBC之外，還加遊Gokyo湖，但不巧途中必經的Cho la隘口適逢暴雪，導遊預早監察天氣，也和其他團隊的導遊保持聯繫，最後確認不宜前往，免於危險。 Here's an amusing anecdote: In the high-altitude haze, I accidentally took a room key from one of the lodges after checking out, only realizing it two hours into our trek. My initial panic quickly turned into despair at the thought of having to hike back. Basu simply reassured me, "It's OK." He suggested that if we met any returning groups, he could ask their guides to return the key. 也分享一件小趣事，不知是否人在高山，腦子迷糊，我，對了就是我，居然在一處旅店check out後拿走了他們的房間鎖匙！還要走了兩小時山路才發現！那時心下直發慌，該不會要我走回去吧？Basu就說了句"It's OK"，只要遇上逆走的團隊，拜託他們導遊帶回去就好了。 His ability to handle both major and minor challenges is a testament to his quality as a guide. 大小事都有能力應變，也是導遊的品質。 【Attentive Care for Altitude Sickness 細心處理高山症狀】 During the journey, I struggled with symptoms of altitude sickness, including severe asthma, persistent insomnia-induced fatigue, and occasional stomach discomfort. At times, I doubted whether I could complete the trip. It was essential to report these symptoms to our guide. Basu was quick to assess whether my symptoms were severe or just a regular reaction, offering suitable dietary recommendations. 在旅途中，我愈來優受高山症症狀困擾，最嚴重的除了氣喘，還有連續失眠帶來的疲倦，以及小小腹瀉，曾令我一度懷疑是否能完成行程。這時必須和導遊報備，他知道我的症狀是不是嚴重或只是正常反應，也提出合適的飲食建議。 【Acknowledging the Porters' Hard Work 不要忘記挑夫的辛勞】 In addition to our guide, our team hired two porters who carried our luggage along the way. These young men were not only remarkably strong, effortlessly lugging backpacks weighing over ten kilograms, but they also thoughtfully provided us with fresh fruit at every meal, ensuring top-notch service. 除了導遊之外，團隊還聘請兩位挑夫沿途為我們挑行李，都是俊美的年輕人，除了舉重若輕地背上十多公斤的行李袋，還每餐給我們預備水果，服務周到。 【In Conclusion 最後】 Throughout our journey, Basu, became a formidable Big 2 (a card game) player thanks to our group's collective efforts. If you ever visit Nepal, don't miss the chance to challenge him! 在旅途中，Basu被我們一眾隊友鍛鍊成撲克遊戲鋤大D（大老二）的高手，歡迎到尼泊爾挑戰他！ Remember, this review is to highlight the great experience of having Basu as a guide, and I hope fellow travelers find this information valuable when considering their adventure to Everest Base Camp.
