Gokyo Lake trekking is possible all year round. However, trekking in the spring and autumn seasons is the best and recommended one. The spring season in Gokyo Lake falls under the months of March, April, and May. At this time, the days are hot and visibility is clear.

In the autumn season, the days are warm and the hills are lush green. The clear weather after the long monsoon makes your walking environment easy and wonderful. The autumn season falls under the months of September, October, and November.

An experienced trekking guide is necessary to lead your trekking and a strong porter to carry your baggage. Your daily budget of lodging and flooding and national park permit fees are the basic expenses.
Based on your service selection the cost of lodges, foods, number of guides, and porters cost will be the trekking cost. So, normally you need about US$ 80 per day budget for Gokyo Lake trekking.
