Jiri to Everest Base Camp Trekking

Trip Information

The great Himalaya to Everest from Jiri Everest Base Camp Trekking which routes was taken from Sir Edmond Hillary, Adventure Pilgrims trekking offers for you The Everest or the Khumbu region is justifiably the most famous of all the trekking and mountain regions. Populated by the Sherpas, the attractions of this area are the majestic mountains, the high mountain villages, charming monasteries and the congenial people. This area includes the highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest (8,848 m.) and many peaks of altitude 8000m. and above, such as Lhotse, Cho Oyu and Makalu.

This section is less crowded as most people fly to Lukla and walk only the high-altitude portion of the route. The trek from Jiri involves a tremendous amount of up-and-down walking.
