The total distance and duration of the Gokyo-Chola pass-EBC trek can vary depending on the specific itinerary and route chosen by the trekking company, but generally, the trek covers a distance of approximately 120-150 kilometers (75-93 miles) and takes around 12 to 18 days to complete.
In terms of walking hours per day, it can vary depending on the trail conditions, your fitness level, and the altitude. Typically, trekkers can expect to walk for around 5-7 hours per day, with some days being shorter and others being longer. The trail can be steep and rocky in some sections, and trekkers may also have to cross high passes like Chola pass, so it’s important to be prepared for some challenging days. To make the most of your experience and to avoid altitude sickness, it’s important to walk at a steady and slow pace, taking regular breaks, and listen to your body.
Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) is a common condition that can occur when trekking at high altitudes. It is caused by the lack of oxygen at high elevations and can range from mild symptoms to severe, life-threatening conditions. Symptoms of AMS include headaches, nausea, fatigue, shortness of breath, and difficulty sleeping.
It is important to take necessary precautions to avoid AMS while trekking the Gokyo-Chola pass trek. Trekkers should be aware of the symptoms and take the necessary steps to prevent or treat the condition. This includes proper acclimatization, staying well-hydrated, and avoiding alcohol and other depressants. It’s also important to note that AMS can occur at any altitude above 2,500m (8,200ft) and can affect anyone, regardless of age, sex, or physical condition.
If you experience severe symptoms or worsening symptoms, it is important to descend immediately and seek medical attention. This trek is considered a moderate to challenging trek and includes a significant risk of altitude sickness, so it’s important to take necessary precautions and be well-informed about the symptoms before embarking on the trek.
The Gokyo-Chola pass trek is considered a moderate to challenging trek. Some of the difficulties that trekkers may face on this trek include:
It’s important to note that the trek is challenging but with adequate preparation, a positive attitude, and the right gear, it can be a truly rewarding and unforgettable experience.
A guide and a porter are essential for a successful and enjoyable Gokyo-Chola pass-EBC trek. A guide is responsible for leading the trek and providing information about the culture, history, and natural environment of the area, as well as helping with navigation, arranging accommodations, and handling any problems that may arise. A porter, on the other hand, is responsible for carrying trekkers’ personal gear and supplies.
The salary of a guide and a porter depends on the trekking company and the region. In Nepal, the average daily salary for a guide ranges from $25 to $35 per day, and for a porter, it ranges from $18 to $20 per day. However, it’s important to note that the salary may vary depending on the company and the region. Some agencies may charge more and some may charge less.
It’s also important to note that the salary of the guide and porter should include their insurance, meals, and accommodation during the trek. Additionally, it’s important to tip them on the last day of the trek as a token of appreciation for their hard work and service. A good tip would be around $10-13 per day for the guide and $6-9 per day for the porter.
