Mt: Everest Base Camp Trekking via Jiri

Trek to the Everest Base Camp via Jiri – the way trekkers used to do before the operation of Lukla airport.

This classic route to Everest Base Camp is the best way to acclimatize as it starts lower and gradually elevates. You will get multiple days of trekking below 3,000 meters before going higher in the elevation so you will be well acclimatized for the high elevation climate. Apart from acclimatizing well, you will also have the chance to explore the cultural riches of lower hills of Nepal. As you pass through several villages along the trail, you will come closer to the simplicity of life and elegance of culture of local people in the middle hills.

This trek,also famous as Classic Everest Base Camp Trek, lets you experience the hills and high mountains at a go. From the lush and pristine nature of lower hills to the wilderness of the high mountains, the exploration is simply mind-blowing. While you are on the Everest Base Camp via Jiri trip, you will have more days in the peaceful nature and mountains. You will also be able to explore the Gokyo valley and Cho La pass.

We are at the elevation of 1,400 meters from sea level and are going well above 5,000 meters on the trip. We will take this day as our acclimatization and preparation day before we head up towards the mountains. Instead of staying idle in hotel, we will take you for a wonderful day tour of Kathmandu valley. Exploring UNESCO’s cultural heritage sites in Kathmandu is the best way to know about historical, cultural and spiritual aspects of this 2 millennia old city. We will visit Swoyambhunath popularly known as the Monkey Templethat is oldest monument in Kathmandu valley, Kathmandu Durbar Squarethat is one of the medieval palace squares in Kathmandu valley, Boudhanaththat is the largest Buddhist stupa and Pashupatinaththat is a Hindu temple premises with open Hindu cremation platforms on the bank of River Bagmati.

Day 03: Drive to Jiri (1,905m) – B.L.D

We leave Kathmandu valley today to go to Jiri about 220 km east of Kathmandu. The drive introduces us to the Nepalese life outside Kathmandu valley. The winding road goes past several beautiful towns and brings some beautiful places to our sight. Jiri is the place where we are spending our overnight today. We will have some time to explore the Jiri bazar to know the life and culture of the place. This will be a nice introduction to a small town life style outside Kathmandu valley.

Day 04: Trek to Bhandar (2,200m) – B.L.D

We embark on the first day of our trekking adventure. From today onwards we are on our feet now. It is time now to enjoy the rural wonders, nature, and culture of the places that we come across.

But we will come across many wonderful places and villages to enjoy as we trek further to Bhandar for our overnight stay.

Day 05: Trek to Sete (2,645m) – B.L.D

On the second day of our trekking adventure, we will trek from Bhandar to Sete. It is another beautiful day of cultural and natural exploration of the middle hills of Nepal. The day will be another long trekking day. The trail meanders down and up the hill giving us a little challenge to sustain the craggy trail on foot. Never mind the distance or duration as you trek. We have many wonderful things to keep our mind off the long distance and duration. We eventually reach Sete and settle into a guest house. If the weather permits, we can enjoy a beautiful sunset view from here.

6

Day 06: Trek to Junbensi (2,675m) – B.L.D

It is going to be probably the toughest of the days in the middle hills as we are going to trek over Lamjura Pass (3,700m). We start trekking uphill early morning from Sete towards the pass it is a tiring effort to take uphill early morning. But the surroundings of the trail make us forget the effort but only enjoy the walk in the excitement of what next. Once we reach the pass and spend a few minutes there, we start descending a long way to Junbensi as our destination for the day. We settle in a guest house at Junbensi, a small and beautiful town nestled at the foothill.

Day 07: Trek to Nunthala (2,440m) – B.L.D

Trekking to Nunthala from Junbensi today brings us beautiful views of the Himalayan range. We will have the first ever view of the Mt. Everest, the highest mountain on earth and the destination we are aiming to reach. We come to this view after walking about an hour uphill from Junbensi. We admire the view of the gorgeous mountains and the surroundings that we pass through. We eventually reach Nunthala after traversing the trail down and up and down again to settle in a guest house and relax and enjoy the cool atmosphere of the place.

8

Day 08: Trek to Khari Khola (2,020m) – B.L.D

We continue our trek to Khari Khola today. We have done so many uphill and downhill every that it has become quite obvious now that we will be doing the same for next two weeks. That is the beauty of trekking in the mountains although it’s quite tough idea. Tracing the trail up and down the hill, we proceed towards Khari Khola to stay overnight. It will be about 5 hours on the trail before we reach our destination for the day.

Acclimatization is highly recommended and important part of trekking in the high elevation. Namche Bazar is our first acclimatization point in the mountains. Its strategic location at the elevation of 3,440 meters above sea level is the good place to stay an extra day and adjust with the elevation before going higher. As part of our acclimatization, we take a hiking adventure to Khumjung village to explore the surroundings.

A gradual ascent through boulder strewn trail eventually takes us to the base of the Mt. Everest. The joy of being at the foot of the highest mountain in the world is simply indescribable.

We hike back to Gorakshep after enjoying the view, sunrise and the joyful moment at the vantage point. Later, we will start our return journey and trek to Pheriche to stay overnight.

22

Day 22: Trek to Namche Bazar (3,440m) – B.L.D

This day on the return journey is one of the longest walking days when we trek to Namche Bazar to stay overnight. Even when we are walking back towards lower elevation, the surroundings look equally magical and thoroughly appealing. We still have so much to see and enjoy that that long day walk doesn’t even feel a bit. Once we reach Namche, we can take a relaxing wandering around the village.

23

Big thanks to the awesome team of porters and guide who tirelessly worked so hard to make sure that things are well taken care of.
