Overview

Classic Everest Base Camp Trek from Jiri is the original trail to reach Everest Base Camp, way back when there was no airport in Lukla. The trail from Jiri to Everest Base Camp is used by many expedition teams to reach the summit of the Himalayas, most notable in history, including Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa. We will be spending the first eight days trekking through beautiful villages, thundering rivers, ascending and descending the trail, and acclimatizing our body to reach Lukla and further. Jiri to Everest Base Camp Trek is nearly a month-long holiday in the Himalayas to explore the beauty of these silvering mountains. Combined with the Everest Base Camp Trek from Lukla, the Everest Base Camp trek from Jiri is an ideal option to spend about a month-long vacation in the Himalayas. Nepal Arun Valley Trek

Jiri to Everest Base camp trek is the oldest path in the Everest region. This used to be a famous trial during Sir Edmond Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa’s period. Sir Edmond Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa summited Mt. Everest on May 29, 1953, for the first time using the trail from Jiri. We will have to spend 8 days passing different sherpas villages, thundering rivers, walking ascending and descending through the trail. There is a new route and shortcut trail to do. The trekking to Everest base camp starts from Lukla with a height of 2860m  after landing at the Lukla airport. This airport was built by Sir Edmond Hillary after succeeding the submitted of Everest and named Edmond Hillary Airport. This trekking route was mainly for expedition purposes. Trek to Everest Base camp. Makalu Base Camp Trek
