Getting there

Trekking

From Gokyo Lakes, the most common way to reach Gokyo Lake V is by trekking. Start from Gokyo village, which is located at Gokyo Lake III. Follow the well-marked trail that begins at the northern end of Gokyo Lake III. Ascend towards Gokyo Lake IV, which is approximately a 1-hour hike away. Once you reach Gokyo Lake IV, continue further up the valley, following the path that leads towards the Ngozumpa Glacier. Gokyo Lake V (Ngozumpa Tso) is located just beyond Lake IV, about a 30-45 minute hike from there. The total trek from Gokyo III to Gokyo V typically takes around 2-3 hours, depending on your pace. Ensure you have proper trekking gear, as the terrain can be rugged and the altitude requires acclimatization.

Consider joining a guided tour if you are unfamiliar with the area. Local guides can be hired in Gokyo village. They offer trekking services that include transportation to the various lakes. The cost of hiring a guide ranges from $25 to $50 per day, depending on the level of service and group size.
