NEPAL Gokyo Peak -- A view of Gokyo - largely a collection of lodges rather than a village - from Gokyo Ri, with Mount Cholatse (6335m, left) and Mount Taboche (6367m, right). This valley is increasingly an intrinsic part of the Everest trail for many trekkers. Many cross the Cho La (Cho Pass) to the Khumbu Glacier and the more traditional Everest viewpoint at Kala Pattar.
