This is another trek on Everest route that takes you to the heart of Everest. After a magnificent mountain flight to Lukla we follow the Dudh Kosi valley to Namche Bazaar. The trail to Gokyo is a gradual ascent up the valley passing through patches of birch & rhododendron forest where the elusive musk deer lurch large.
