Best Seasons for the Gokyo Lake Trek:

Definitely post-monsoon time makes the trails less muddy, providing breathtaking mountain vistas. This is the peak time for trekking; hence, it is accompanied by more trekkers. It is, however, worth it since conditions are just perfect.
- Winter (December to February): Winter starts bringing in chilly temperatures, especially at high altitudes, and makes the trek a little bit difficult. While the skies are usually clear, it is cold and snowy, thus making trails icy and dangerous. Those who are well-prepared for extreme cold can trek in winters, though it is less comfortable and more physically demanding compared to other seasons.
