Gokyo Lake resides in Sagarmatha National Park with another five lakes. Sagarmatha National Park is listed in UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

The Gokyo lake system is naturally vulnerable, as it is lying in an ecologically fragile and unstable zone. The outburst of Ngozumpa glacier is always a threat to the existence of the lakes. This is where the roof of the world touches sky”. – National Geography

"The Gokyo Lakes route fulfilled its promise in every way imaginable. Many visitors-including those who have also been to Everest base camp-call the 360-degree panorama at the summit of Gokyo Ri (ri is the Tibetan for mountain) the finest mountain vista in Nepal. The view from peak is spectacular. There is the vast Ngozumpa Glacier, the longest glacier in Nepal. Beginning in ice and snow, it grinds down to an immense moraine of rubbly rocks, dotted with small pools-some as bright green as the lakes just below us, some still iced over and glassily reflecting the clear blue sky and long streaming clouded. Then of course, there's Everest' and the fluted ridge of the vast ice wall anchored at either end by the high peaks of Lhotse and Nuptse; the jutting spires of Makalu; and, showiest of all, the crenellated contours of Cho Oyo, the world's ninth highest peak, as it dominates the landscape with its massive bright white, glacier-accented bulk."

Rebuilding School in Tekanpur 2015

With a team of friends, engineers and architects we did reach Tekanpur on 10th of October, the first time in history by jeep over a fresh constructed unpaved road. Purpose of the visit was to research the condition of the villagers and to initiate the rebuilding of the village which suffered a lot under the earthquakes of last April and May. Aim is to start rebuilding the school with the kind help from Muziek for Nepal and other donors and to help the people with designs for rebuilding their houses. Especially in the lower part of the village people still live in very difficult circumstances and some of them lack financial funds for rebuilding their houses. We were welcomed with tears, smiles and gratitude and we are committed to help in the future where possible. With Dawa Lama Tamang, Sy Lyng, Franky Ken, Joshi Prajwal.
