Namgyal Lodge, Machermo

Dedicated to travellers comfort ... Machermo is a small valley with a couple of lodges on route to the lake Gokyo, at an altitude of 4470m, which lies between Dole & Gokyo. It's a small remote village where herdsmen used to come to graze their cattle from the lower region. It is here, in the year 1974, a local village woman had a fight with a "Yeti" and the Yeti managed to kill a couple of Yaks. Only fewer people have ever explored this place. However, trekking agencies have started promoting this route that passes Gokyo Lakes and leads to Gokyo Ri and the base camps of Cho Oyu, Kalapatthar, Pumori and Mt. Everest, adding more thrill and adventure to the trek. Furthermore, a window of opportunity, to experience the surrealistic scenic beauty and lifestyle of the people living in this region, has been opened.
