• The Gokyo valley trek is considered as a typical
  trek that is suitable for everyone. However, the
  local people of Gokyo Valley call it The Valley
  of Death and rightly so a couple of trekkers
  have endeavoured to climb Gokyo Ri speedy,
  ignored the precepts of AMS and paid the expense
  with their lives. Our schedule gives two evenings
  in Namche Bazaar for acclimatization, with the
  goal that you wont be endeavouring to do this
  trek brisk! This minimizes your shots of getting
  AMS and helps you make it securely to the highest
  point of Gokyo.
