Everest base camp Trek via Jiri is the most classic and best way to do an Everest trek following the footsteps of the old route followed by Everest expeditions in late 1950’s including Tenzing Norgay, Sir Edmund Hillary and great expedition groups at that time. Enjoying life in extremes and exploring number of the finest natural and cultural wonder of Nepal is the primary goal of this trek as it provides a decent chance to envision the densely inhabited middle hills and the high altitude splendor of the Khumbu or Everest region.
Everest base camp Trek via jiri (1905m) path heads eastward through the beautiful forested hills of Solu Area where Monasteries and uninterrupted mountain view lies ahead. The portion of the trek from Jiri to Lukla is commonly uncrowded, and so far better for trekking route. The varying altitude throughout the trek leads one from the lower hills to the high Himalaya where we follow the Dudh Koshi River to join the main Everest trail below Lukla. Once in the Khumbu region the mountain views improve with every step with Mt. Kwangde, Mt. Thamserku, Mt. Nuptse, Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Ama Dablam , Mt. Kantega and of course the summit of Mount Everest itself. The visit to Sagarmatha National park enlisted in the UNESCO World Heritage Site and hiking to Kala Patthar from Everest Base Camp are the major highlights of this trek. Then with the benefits of increased fitness we make the ascent to Namche Bazaar. From Namche the trek follows the Gokyo Lake to Everest Base Camp then flies out from Lukla to Kathmandu.
This is the route to take if you are not in hurry and have enough time to explore the Mount Everest region in its full glory observing ethnic tribes and exploring varieties of flora and fauna.
