Gokyo –>Thagnak –> Cho La –> Dzongla –> Dingboche

October 5, 2018

Let’s catch you up with our Island + Mera Peak Private Team. They enjoyed the Gokyo area tremendously, but have enjoyed the subsequent trekking to Dingboche just as much. The first move was from Gokyo across the Ngozumpa Glacier to Thagnak.  This is a relatively short but extremely enjoyable day and set them up nicely for the following day, which took them from Thagnak up and over Cho La (5420m mountain pass) to Dzongla.  Crossing Cho La is a tough day, but the views from the pass are incredible. Once on top of the pass the team took a good break, but had to get moving once the winds picked up and the clouds closed in on them. Luckily the trek down to Dzongla goes pretty quickly, and the breathing is certainly easier!

After the big day crossing Cho La, the 4-5 hours from snowy Dzongla to Dingboche was a perfect amount of trekking. They’ll rest up in Dingboche, sleep in tomorrow, then make their way up to Chukkung, another 4-5 hour day.

All is well in the Nepal!
