Jiri to Everest Base Camp Trek

Smile Adventure and Tours — Fri, 02 Jun 2023 11:10:56 +0000

The trek from Jiri to Everest Base Camp is a classical trek. The trekking route was follows by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa , the steps of first mountaineers on their successful Everest Expedition in 1953. The route was very famous until the flights to Lukla not operated. Although, the trekkers start the trek to Everest Base Camp from Lukla after taking a flight to Lukla due to time limitation but the Everest base camp trek starting from Jiri is equally accepted and regularly used by trekkers.

The trekking trail from Jiri to Everest Base camp offers to catch the great mountain country, rivers and streams, beautiful culturally rich villages, less crowded trail and most importantly the opportunity of more gradual acclimatization. You will get a chance to visit more Buddhist monasteries, more of the culturally rich Sherpa and other ethnic villages representing simple yet affluent mountain lifestyles and walking on this track proves to be quite a significant experience.

The Jiri to Everest Base Camp Trek starts -your journey to Jiri. The 8-9 hours bus drive along the Arniko Highway is made pleasant by the great views of Langtang and Ganesh Himal peaks on the north. In the early days of the trek, Himalayan views will not feature very much, but shortly after leaving Junbesi the trail rounds a spur and a sudden panorama of big mountains opens up ahead; you catch a first, though only brief sighting of Everest, Lhotse, Kusum Kangguru, Thamserku, Kangtega and Makalu. There’s promise in that teasing view, but its not until you reach Namche that the promise will be fulfilled.

At Namche Bazaar, we enjoy the Sherpa village, its culture and monasteries, the mountaineers and wild life museums on the acclimatization day. Ahead we follow the classical route to reach up the base camp of the world’s highest peak and also to the famous vantage point, Kala Patthar, where a marvelous 360-degree panorama of the Himalayas awaits us. After achieving our target of Everest Base Camp, we walk back down to Lukla for a return flight to Kathmandu.
