Most parties continue to follow well-trodden paths, but you leave the crowds behind and head up the remote Nangpa valley to Marulung; only recently opened to trekkers, this valley was off-limits for many years owing to its proximity to the sensitive Tibetan border. Its unspoilt authentic Sherpa villages offer a unique insight into how the area would have been when Hillary first walked these paths fifty years ago.

From your campsite by the lakes you can trek to the farthest reaches of the valley for close range views of Cho Oyu (8201m/26,906ft) and Gyachung Kang (7,922m/25,991ft). You can also make the ascent of Gokyo Ri (5357m/19,216ft) for a unique panoramic view of the Everest massif.
