Hiking up to Gokyo Ri from Gokyo Lake is one of the highlights of the Everest region trek. From Gokyo village, the trail climbs steadily toward the summit of Gokyo Ri (5,357 m). It usually takes around 2–3 hours to reach the top, depending on your pace and acclimatization.
From the summit, you can enjoy spectacular panoramic views of Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, and the surrounding Gokyo Lakes and Ngozumpa Glacier. After spending some time at the viewpoint, you descend back to Gokyo village, generally taking about 1–2 hours.
