Jiri Everest base camp trekis the most traditional trekking trail in the Everest region. Consequently, this is the same route that was used by the early expedition teams to climb Everest from Nepal by Sir Edmund Hilary from New Zealand and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa from Nepal, the first successful climbers of Mount Everest went through this trail to climb Mount Everest.
Jiri Everest base camp trek begins from Jiri after six hours of tranquility of the hills and a scenic drive from Kathmandu by private vehicle. Most of all, the Jiri Bazaar(1905m) is more attractive and a number of teahouses and shops provide a good service for trekkers. Also, we recommend you visit the cheese factory project in Jiri.
The Jiri Everest base camp trek commences from Jiri following the old renowned trail to Shivalaya. After a few minutes walk, you will cross a stream on the trail up to the hill Bharkur. From Bharkur the trail continues to assent to the Patashe Danda(2400m/7872ft). While the trail continues to descend Yelung Khola and Dovan you can view the Shivalaya hillside into the Khumti Jhola valley. The trail passes through the beautiful village of Bhandar, Set, Junbeshi, Nunthala, Bupsa, and Ghat. After you come to Ghat, you’ll follow the currently popular route from Lukla. Finally, you’ll visit delightful Sherpa villages, where you’ll meet the friendly people and soak up the colors, sights, and sounds of village life as well as the spirituality of Tibetan Buddhism so prevalent in the Himalayas.
The last destination of the Jiri Everest base camp trek is Kalapathar (5545m/18187ft) and Everest Base Camp. And the period of Classic Everest Trekkingis a little bit longer. In this trekking, you will experience an unbeatable combination of natural beauty and cultural splendor. Furthermore, the prominent mountains to be sighted during trekking are Mt. Gaurishanker, Mt. Kwangde, Mt. Twache, Mt. Nuptse, Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Amadablam, Mt. Thamserku, and Mt. Everest.

your food allergy.
If your solo trekkers we will provide you on single room in tea house. In peak season
(October, November, December , March, April) you have to share room with a member of
the same sex but it is rarely.
You will be served freshly cooked food during trekking. In all tea houses/ lodges along
trekking trail Western, Continental and Nepali dishes are available. Three meals a day will
be provided you in full board (Gold) package.
Up to a maximum of 5-6 hours a day with lunch breaks along the trail. The maximum
altitude is depends upon which trek you are going. In Nepal normally the maximum altitude
of most of the trekking falls between 3500m to 5000m.
To some trekkers when they go over 3000 m they may feel some affect of altitude sickness
like shortness of breath and possibly a light headed which is fairly common. Sometime they
may also get diarrhea as well as sprains and muscle aches. In such case our guide who is
experienced in first aid treatment and high altitude sickness will advise you about any
health requirements and also treat you. Altitude sickness is dangerous but it can be
avoidable. If your follow a few simple rules you will not suffer from altitude sickness. Rules

people).
In our trek packages one porter is including for two people. The one porter can carry 20-25
kg your luggage( per person 12 KG). If you're interested to hire extra porter we will
recommend to hire in Lukla for Everest base camp trek. The porter cost approximately USD
15. If you want to hire a porter then please let us know at the time you make your trek
booking. After Lukla it is very difficult to get porter. if your hire porter above the Lukla or
Namche bazaar the porter cost USD 20 to 30 but they cannot always be reliable.
As general rule, it is hot enough during the days to wear an open-neck shirt with shorts and
you will not be cold. During the evening, it gets cold so, long trousers and a warm jersey is
essential.
Please consult your local doctor and follow his advice. However, if you are taking any
particular medicines, it would be best to bring them with you.
There are trekking shops at Thamel, in Kathmandu, where you can easily rent or buy items
like sleeping bags, down jackets, walking sticks, rucksacks, duffel bags and other
equipments on reasonable price.

suitable for Everest base camp trekking(above 4000m). We will suggest to buy /rent
sleeping bags and so you can try it out. Also you can rent /buy sleeping bag in Kathmandu
trekking store.

and Dolpo, you should keep at least two spare days before your departure for home.

have telephone facilities. From there you can make international calls to your home and
friends staying any part of the world.
Nepal is absolutely safe country to travel. Our staffs do take every precaution to ensure the
comfort and safety of the trekkers. Before 2006 when Maoist movement was going on,
there was a kind of fear in few trekking destinations. But today they have also come to
peaceful political stream. So there is no more any fear and need to give donation for any
party.
We offer you an experienced trekking guide. He is in charge of your overall trekking. This is
the person you should go to with all problems, concerns and questions. He is well trained in
all aspects of trekking, high altitude medicine, first aid and emergency procedure. He is
selected in terms of his professionalism. Remember that trekking guides are local citizens
and their English may be basic and limited to trek related topics. About porters, they carry
your luggage. They are also local citizens. Normally one porter carries 20 to 25 kg of stuff.

like Larkya la pass(5,235 m), Throng la Pass(5216 m) and Cho La Pass( 5,420 m) it is
