## About

Trekking to Everest Base Camp crossing through the Cho La Pass at 5420m is an alternative to traditional trail to Everest Base Camp and is meant for those who have been seeking the thrill of adventure and prefer taking the tough route across the Cho La Cross (5420m/17783ft) as it enables crossing the high route high north-south mountain range.

In the Everest Region a high and breathless trail links Khumbu Valley and Gokyo Valley over the 5420m Cho La Pass, sneaking over a knife edge ridge between Cholatse and Kangchung (6063m).

It takes two days to cross this high pass in either direction and the only accommodation is at Dzongla and Thangnak, which lie six to seven hours apart on opposite sides of the pass.

In good weather conditions we can cross Cho La pass with no special equipment but it is suggested to trek well prepared with mountaineering gears.
