15-day Everest Base Camp & Gokyo Lakes Trek with Chola Pass.
Let me start off by saying... DO IT!!!.
It was the most amazing and memorable experience I have ever had.
If I could give a 100 stars, I would!!!!
Where can I start? We booked this trip on very short notice. The 15-day trek of Everest Base camp and Gokyo lakes with Cholo pass.
Our guide was the amazing Bikram Khadka or as we called him BK Daai (Dai meaning older brother).

We met Kumar, Santosh & BK Dai in Thamel, Kathmandu, a couple of days before. Spoke over the plan and what to expect on the trek, including potential altitude sickness, and paid the rest of what we owed, (paying the deposit while we were still in the UK). BK dai also helped us get little bits and bobs from Kathmandu for our trek, like renting sleeping bags, etc., which was helpful.

We knew we were in the monsoon season, so we knew what to expect. In Kathmandu, our flight to Lukla was delayed, with BK Dai worrying we might have to get it. Luckily, after about a 2-hour wait, we were lucky, and our flight went through, luck being the keyword for our whole trip.

On our trek, BK Dai had us put in the best available room, where available and made sure we were extremely comfortable (it being off-season helped with this as more availability).

The hike from Lukla to Phakding was hard, in the heat, but we made it in 3 hours. Had a sleep at a really nice hotel. The next day we left around 7 am (the usual time we started hiking throughout the whole trip) and made our way to Namche Bazaar. He made sure we were okay all the way through, explained interesting facts and points throughout the trip, and most importantly thing, made us laugh all the way through this trip. In Namche, we stayed at the Footrest Lodge, where he introduced us to his friend Gopal, an amazing and hard-working person. We stayed there 2 nights to acclimatize. After the first night, we had a clear morning, and BK Dai woke us up at around 5:30 am to take us to our first and only sighting of Everest, which was amazing. Due to the clouds, throughout the trip it was difficult. That was BK Dai, he always woke up early to see how the weather was and made sure we got the best things to see.

Our initial plan was to go to Gokyo first and then to Everest Base Camp, but BK dai recommended, we should do the Everest Base Camp first, as Gokyo Lake/Cholo pass is extremely difficult, which it was (not for the faint-hearted, but amazingly rewarding).
We agreed and went on the route to Everest.

We made our way up the trek staying over in a couple of towns, stopping in Pheriche to acclimatise then Lobuche one night before we made it to Gorakshep. On the day we arrived at Gorakshep, we dropped our bags and went straight to Everest Base Camp, which was a tad bit treacherous, with land/rock slides and loose rocks being the path and nothing else. But, BK Dai knew exactly what and where he was going, which was comforting.

The next day it was far too cloudy for Kalapatthar, so we headed back down to make our way to Gokyo Lakes. We stayed in Dzongla for the night and early next morning made our way to Gokyo Lakes through Chola Pass, and it was probably the hardest thing, way harder than the Everest Base Camp Trek. It was amazing, exciting, dangerous, and adrenaline-pumping. There were moments when we had to climb using ropes, walk over glaciers, encounter heavy snow, and the last 1 hour or so, vertically climb a cliff face. It was exhausting, but my god it was rewarding. Gokyo Lake was beautiful, but again, heavy clouds prevented us from going to Gokyo Ri.

We were lucky many times throughout this trip, we never got altitude sickness, and as BK Dai always said, if you are hungry it's a good sign, which I was, all the time. We were also very lucky with the weather on some days, the views, the flight to Lukla & back. There were others we met going down, who didn't even see Everest or missed their flight and had to trek for 3 days and then get a jeep.

Throughout this trip, we made many friends, clients from abroad, and guides and porters.

BK dai to use was more than a guide, he was more than a friend, he was like our brother. I am not sure what this trip would have been like without him, he made it perfect and went beyond his work. From the bottom of my heart, I have nothing but love from him for making this amazing.

It's incredible how much I miss him, all his stories, his jokes, his energetic personality.
I can't wait to see him already.

Thank you, I will never forget this in my lifetime.

With a heartfelt love,

I have completed 14 14-day Annapurna trek with Discover Altitude.
I was born and raised up in a metropolitan. The materialist surroundings are around me from the day I opened my eyes. But, something was always lacking inside. Every single day, I wanted to go away from all this. Later on I explored that my inner being resided in nature i.e. mountains, Himalayan, forest, etc. Then I searched to go for a mountain expedition.

In a random search, I contacted Discover Altitude and booked the earlier mentioned trek.
Throughout the trek, the people from Discover Altitude were very cosy and friendly. Especially, Kumar sir and Basu swami were compassionate more than a human can be expected for. They behaved me not as client but as a friend whom they had known for a long. All the arrangements and the food they provided were very hygienic and according to my preference.
Thanks to the whole team of Discover Altitude.

Discover Altitude Trek pvt. Ltd. is the best option to go for mountainous tour. They are very much connected to the lòcals one needs on the way during the trek. The arrangements they do are also of very much standard quality.

I have gone for Everest Base camp Comfort trek 15 days with the Discover Altitude. The trek was mind blowing. The host team were like family. They were loving and very caring.

I would like to recommend to all who want to in the lap of nature be with Discover Altitude and fulfil your dream

Discover Altitude is the best institution where you can fulfill the dream of being in the lap of nature. During my Manaslu trek, Discover Altitude helped me a lot by taking care of my necessities and priorities. The team assisted me by every means from shopping to departure. They were very sensitive towards every detail.

It was my first experience above an altitude of 4,000 meters....although found it difficult at the beginning, from Namche treks was a bit relaxing after a rest day. Thanks to Amar my guide who was really amazing...highly recommended Discover Altitude Team for their arrangement and professionalism. My dream of being at the base camp of the highest mountain finally came into reality...

Organizers Kumar and Santosh - are kind, accessible, responsive, attentive, helpful, and hard-working people, Amar guide and Krishna porter - were like my brothers, I’m grateful for the experience shared with these two on my 8 days hike, it had a lot of difficulties due to monsoon but in a good company all becomes an adventure, because in the end, especially in the Himalayas: no pain no gain?!

I am thrilled to share my incredible experience with Discover Altitude Trek's Everest Base Camp Helicopter tour and Chitwan Safari. Both adventures were beyond my expectations and left me with memories that will last a lifetime.
Embarking on the Everest Base Camp Helicopter tour and Chitwan Safari with them was a privilege beyond words. The helicopter tour granted breathtaking aerial views of Everest's splendor, impeccably guided by Santosh. The Chitwan Safari, a mesmerizing jungle encounter, offered close wildlife encounters and seamless accommodations. Santosh's exceptional leadership and meticulous attention to detail ensured a flawless experience. Discover Altitude Trek's unwavering commitment to excellence and the team's passionate dedication made these journeys truly extraordinary.

To see and experience Kathmandu in just 2 days including a sunrise in the Himalayas and a slaughter ritual is a challenge. But with Kumar, it works in a relaxed atmosphere. He feels good where your interests lie. This makes the experience even more intense in a relaxed way.
I can recommend him.
