What do the Gokyo Valley Trek costs include?
Generally packages for the Gokyo Valley trek, conducted by different trekking agencies in Nepal, including us (Green Society Adventure), include the following factors. This information will help you in preparing yourself economically.
Trekking permits
This Gokyo trek of 10 or 11 days requires mainly two official documents, such as a Sagarmatha National Park Permit and a Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality Permit. Since the package consists of costs for both permits, I or another member will proceed for them on your behalf if you join us. Obtaining these official papers either from the Nepal Tourism Board (NTB) in Kathmandu or in Lukla/Monjo is mandatory.
The funds collected through these efforts will be used to repair trails, preserve fragile tourism ecosystems, and develop local infrastructure. Therefore, you contribute to sustainable tourism and improve the economical status of locals while trekking. We have to submit all your personal details along with a detailed itinerary, passport copies, travel insurance, and passport-size photos.
Not only for legal processes, authorities issue these permits to ensure all trekkers' safety throughout the trek. However, you should be cautious as well as follow rules and regulations to avoid unnecessary penalties in such areas.
