only eat yak steaks on friday, as this is when they are fresh, otherwise your stomach will be doing cartwheels, took 3 hrs longer up to gokio ri as my trekking buddy, didnt heed to this rule,,,, otherwise we wouldve gone to basecamp, but she was to sick afterwards.....thank God fro teaming up with two Dr from N.zealand always handy... we went in june fantastic, trekked up from jirri, beautiful landscapes along the way,,,,

Katy W is spot on...steer clear of the Yak Momo's...they gave rise to the vernacular..to Yak!!!!

the best time is november-- stay two days at Namche don-t forget the boots to walk on ice and be prepare to loose some weight and enjoy Himalays landscape

Check out Adventurewithaltitude.com -its my friends business. I have treked with him 3 times and he really takes great care of his clients and gives you a terrific experience. His name is Dawa Chiri Sherpa and he is married to my friend Kay.

Take your time! Don't eat any meat after Namche. Also make sure your hiking boots are well broken in before you leave - it's tough enough without having sore feet too! Enjoy.

Take your time, pack warm clothing, but don't camp. Stay with the Sherpas and you'll have the experience of a lifetime.

Its really only worth going in the peak trekking seasons (Apr - May or Sept-Nov). Give yourself time to acclimatise...and give yourself a good 3+ weeks so you can take the route via Gokyo lakes...awesome! Best advice; do it!
