The Everest region serves as a paramount for everything brave, courageous, and adventurous. It is the resting spot of the mighty Mount Everest and has attracted travelers from across the globe for numerous years. The 14 days Gokyo valley yoga trek takes place in the Everest region and is designed to provide visitors with the ultimate thrill and joy. Mountains, Lakes, and Culture is what incorporates this trek.

During this trek, you will be making your way through some of the most difficult and enticing trails that you will ever witness. Navigate along the slippery terrains of the Dudh Koshi river and battle snowfall to arrive at the humongous Ngozumpa glacier. Carefully cross it to arrive at the sublime Gokyo village where the frosty lakes await you. Explore the lake periphery and interact with the local Sherpas to get an insight into Buddhism and their way of life.

This 14 days Gokyo valley yoga trek is a must-visit for anyone that wishes to witness nature in its unblemished form.

In this 14-day ordeal, you will be residing on teahouses and small lodges. At Namche, there are lodges equipped with modern-day amenities but in other rural parts, you won’t find it. The hot water bath is a privilege in the desolate parts and can be a bit costly. You will dine on dal bhat, dhido in these parts. Fancy foods are rare in the high Himalayas so it is better that you carry some.

Importance of Yoga while trekking

Yoga is the medium of entering the self and it helps us to find out the meaning of life. We trek for refreshment and to entertain. In surface, it seems that both can satisfy us for our desire to be happy. But in higher level, yoga has its own purpose to purify our body, mind and spirit. Trekking can be one part of yoga but it is not complete medium to get purified. If we combine both in one place then the purpose of yoga may be met in some aspect.

It is not only the process to connect our body with our mind but it can connect us with the higher self. meditation and yoga can make us physically, mentally, spiritually and socially healthy. In addition, yoga increase the memory power of the person who does it regularly. also, it helps us to get free from all types of stress and tension. continuous practice of yoga increases the personal power in every field of human life and build up the self-awareness of the person. Further, it can remove the negative toxins from our body which is the cause of every disease.

Yoga has a connection with our Mind and Immune System

Perfect harmony in our mind and exact decision power cab be developed through yoga. Meditation is the medium to increase the inner peace in our mind. Develops the power to create a better relationship with the people. Plus, yoga meditation abolishes all the negativity, which reside in our mind from many years.

When we add yoga with our walking, it can help us to remove all the pains that we have during trekking. If we add Pranayama and meditation with walking, that helps us to be free from all the aches on our body. Yoga trekking is the combination of yoga with trekking, and it can play very important role in our life. Trekking can be the beauty in yoga and yoga can complete the purpose of our desire to trek.
