Best Short Treks in the Everest Region

Gokyo Lakes Trek - 16 Days
The sparkling, pristine blue and green waters of the Gokyo Lakes are one of Nepal’s most memorable sights. They comprise the highest freshwater lake system in the world, at around 5,000 meters. The Gokyo Lakes trek is ideal for people who want to trek in the Everest region, but who want more variety of views and fewer nights spent at very high altitude.

The Manaslu Circuit Trek features everything you'd want from a classic trek in Nepal: epic scenery, intimate encounters with local people and their ancient culture, and a 17,000-foot Himalayan pass crossing. Kimkim's trusted partners in Nepal organize weekly group departures during the spring and fall trekking seasons, as well as private treks that can run on any date from February to June and September through November.

Lil in particular was fantastic, very caring, and did all the deterred to arrange a wonderful, spontaneous wedding renewal ceremony at Manakamana. Shree was very knowledgeable and Ngima orchestrated everything well, and was very helpful when our Indian visa was delayed. Will recommend Kim Kim to all my friends. Thank you Ngima!
