Jiri to Everest Base Camp Trek, the tradition route to Everest Base Camp

Following a classic trail from Jiri, we begin our all exclusive trek to Everest Base Camp via Jiri. By not choosing the direct route of taking a flight to Lukla, we are left with a choice to drive into Jiri and walk along the classic trail to the base camp of Mt. Everest.

Starting with a drive to the eastern hub of Jiri, we begin our enduring and extensive trek towards our goal of reaching the base camp of Mt. Everest. With more walking needed, we walk through a less travelled trek but with more abundance of natural and cultural highlights throughout your trek. Trekkers get to experience stunning geography of diverse magnitude as we get to view the majestic Himalayan mountains of Lhotse, AmaDablam, Nuptse, Pumori and many more. Overall trekkers get to see the unseen side of the Nepalese communities as they travel along a path filled with a miscellaneous variety of touristic attractions all the way. Taste the local delicacies of intriguing, learn the primitive ways of ethnic communities and gain deep insights on trekking in Nepal. Next in the list of main highlights are the base camp and the viewpoint of Kalapathar which are scheduled to be reached with proper acclimatization. Being a long trek, it is recommended to have proper physical wellness to walk continuously through rough hill terrains for many days. All things considered, this trek to reach the base camp of Mt. Everest is a delight you don’t want to miss.
