NEPAL Gokyo Valley -- A landscape showing the terminus of the Ngozumpa Glacier and the tiny hamlet of Nha. This leg of the trek from Machermo to Gokyo is hard, though many trekkers now include this valley in their trip. From Gokyo many opt to cross the Cho Pass (Cho La) to the Khumbu Glacier and the more traditional route to Kala Pattar -- Picture by Jon Mitchell / Lightroom Photos
