Used the layover day in Gokyo to hike up to the 5th lake and gain views of the Ngozumpa glacier, Nepal’s longest glacier, and get closer to the Himalayas. The weather was perfect today and had amazing clear skies offering great views of mountians Cho Oyu, Gyachung Kang, Chakung, Chumbu, Changri, Kangchung and Chola. Impressive!!
Trail up to the 5th lake with Cho Oyu in the background:
