Gokyo Lake Side Lodge

Gokyo (4790m) - Gokyo Ri (5360m) - Gokyo The weather is still bad today. When I woke up in the morning and saw the ripples on the lake, I knew it was still drizzling. It was already 8 o'clock when we woke up naturally, ate breakfast and set off. Later, of course, we knew that it was not perfect to climb so late in the morning in such weather. When we were climbing up, we met some groups going down the mountain. They were all led by tour guides and started climbing at 6 o'clock in the morning, so it was not very slippery when going down the mountain. But when I went down the mountain later, I suffered a lot, especially halfway up the mountain. Too many people stepped on the snowy road. The snow melted into ice water and mixed with nilu. Stepping on it was just like skating. I couldn't stop it. There were several times when I almost fell off the horse, even though I was careful enough. Mano was even worse. She was behind me and didn't have a trekking pole. Every tour guide who went down the mountain advised her not to continue climbing, otherwise it would be dangerous to go down the mountain. In the end, she withdrew after struggling for a long time. When I got back to where I was staying at around 1:00, she told me with red eyes that she was so disappointed that she couldn't reach the top. Although I felt sorry for her, I quickly comforted her and said that safety was the first priority and she was right to withdraw. I also described to her the dangers of my descent, hoping that she would feel better. Although I didn't see the beautiful scenery of Gokyo Lake under the clear sky due to weather reasons this time, I was very satisfied standing on the halfway point of Gokyo Ri and looking down at the lake surrounded by snow and the village next to it, because this kind of scenery is indeed not so common, and even rarer. I stood there alone, at a loss for words in front of such a scene, and only the great man's "thousands of miles of ice and thousands of miles of snow" echoed in my mind. Unknowingly, it was the fourteenth day of hiking, and it had been 16 days since I left Kathmandu. #The scenery here is as beautiful as a picture #Where I want to go #Nepal travel #Nepal EBC hiking #Gokyo

Dragnag (4700m) – Nha – Gokyo (4790m) When I woke up early this morning, it was all white outside the window, with heavy snow falling. It seemed that it snowed all night last night, and I had a bad feeling in my heart. When I came to the dining room, sure enough, the group that had discussed setting off at 4:30 in the morning to cross the Cho La Pass to Dzongla were all sitting there waiting. After breakfast, I consulted the proprietress with trepidation, and she waved her hands again and again, asking us not to go, as it was too dangerous. She explained to us earnestly that we had to cross a glacier for an hour on the way to Gokyo. This glacier was not quite the same as the small one we crossed the Cho La Pass yesterday. It was similar to the glacier we saw at the Everest Base Camp. The surface was not like a snow field with an unobstructed view, but there were many confusing icicles standing up. It was a bit dangerous in the first place, and now it was covered with heavy snow, there was no one to clear the way, and you didn’t have a tour guide. If you accidentally stepped on the wrong one, it would be the end... My heart was already half cold. We sat here from 7 to 9 o'clock. I couldn't wait aimlessly like this because you didn't know how many days this weather would last, and I had no patience for waiting. Of course, I wasn't so reckless that I was willing to risk my life to cross the glacier, so I took out the map and asked the boss's wife if there were any other options. This time, the boss's wife was not as busy as before. Seeing me like this, she suddenly thought of the same thing and said that if you really want to go, you can go around. That is, bypass the glacier, go south to Nha first, and then climb north to Gokyo. This way, there will be no danger, but the original two-hour journey will now take more than 5 hours. We looked at the time and agreed that it was feasible, so we immediately adopted this plan B. Of course, the process was difficult. My shoes were all wet in the heavy snow, my feet and hands were frozen and numb, and I took some detours in the middle. It was also difficult to climb all the way from Nha to Gokyo... But fortunately, the result was satisfactory. I finally arrived at Gokyo (4790 meters above sea level) at around 1 o'clock as I wished, and stayed in a very satisfactory lakeside lodge. Whether it is the restaurant or the room, you can see Gokyo Lake when you open the window. The restaurant is very warm, and the stove is always burning. You can hang your clothes and shoes by the stove and lie on the bed to read a book facing Gokyo Lake. Don't enjoy it too much. Because of the weather, the Gokyo Lake that I had imagined under a clear sky is completely different, surrounded by snow. But it also has a unique flavor. Naturally, I decided to stay here for one more night, relax, climb Gokyo Ri tomorrow, and set off to cross Renjo La Pass the day after tomorrow. #The scenery here is as beautiful as a picture #Places I want to go again after visiting #Snow Playing Behavior Award #Nepal Travel #Nepal EBC Hiking
