Lhotse Photo Gallery - Renjo La, Gokyo, Gokyo Ri, Scoundrel's View, and Knobby View

I trekked to Gokyo in 2000 and 2008.

To Gokyo 1-0 Google Earth Image Of Everest Nepal Area The trek to the Gokyo Lakes has it all - beautiful alpine lakes, spectacular mountain views and Nepal’s largest glacier, the Ngozumpa. The trek can be continued to the foot of Cho Oyu and Gyachung Kang peaks. Here is a view of Gokyo Valley and Khumbu area from Google Earth, showing the main places I visited.
