Fellowship Day 8

Machhermo to Gokyo (4751m/15587ft)
You will climb a ridge from where the valley opens wide as the trail passes through Pangkha. Mt. Cho Oyo 8153m dominates the skyline to the north as you can climb the moraine on the left flank of the Ngozumpa Glacier. The climb is steep to the first of the four lakes that lie in the Gokyo area past the largest of the lakes Dudh Pokhari to Gokyo at 4750m. Gokyo is a typical Kharka stone houses and stonewalled pastures.
