The Cho La Pass is One of the high passes in eastern Nepal's Khumbu region to trek to the Gokyo Lakes after visiting the Base Camp. One of the alternate routes to Everest Base Camp is the Cho La Pass Trek. Chola makes three high passes: Kongma La (5535m), Renjo La (5360m), and Chola. Three important Khumbu locations are connected by the trail: Gokyo Lakes, Cho La, and Everest Base Camp. The Gokyo Chola Pass trek's trekking route promises a sublime trekking experience while providing insight into the culture, way of life, and heritage of the local Sherpa tribe.
The 18-day journey, also known as the Gokyo Chola Pass Trek, starts when you arrive in Kathmandu with a full-day tour of the ancient city. After that, you'll fly across picturesque terrain to Lukla in the Solukhumbu region. Before ascending to Kalapatthar (5545m) and Everest Base Camp (5364m), the Chola Pass Trek takes you through the well-known Sherpa settlements of Phakding, Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, Chhukung, and Lobuche.
A different path is taken on the hike, traversing west to the town of Gokyo over the Cho La Pass (5360m). On the edge of Dudh Pokhari Lake (also known as Gokyo Lake), there is a small village called Gokyo. Many pilgrims make the annual trek to Gokyo to offer prayers at this revered site. One of the highest passes in the area is Cho La Pass on Everest. From their vantage point, you can see the entire valley as well as the stunning views of Mount Everest (8848 m), Lhotse (8414 m), Makalu (8463 m), Cho Oyu (8188 m), and Lhotse-Shar (8393 m). Renjo La (5360m), another challenging mountain pass, must be crossed before continuing on to Namche and Lukla.
The Sherpa people, who have a distinct culture, language, and heritage, make up the majority of the population in the Khumbu region. The Chola Pass trip could be more difficult for a novice trekker than other treks in Nepal. The best seasons for Chola Pass trekking in Nepal are spring (Mar-Jun) and fall (Sep-Nov).
