Jiri to Everest Base Camp Trek Basecamp Adventure

Jiri to Everest Base Camp Trek

Jiri to Everest base camp trek is an adventure trek for those trekkers who are physically fit, in

good health, enough holidays and are determined to challenge themselves with

unpredictability of mountain life. There are two routes to Everest Base Camp trek: one that

begins from Lukla and another that begins from Jiri. This Jiri to Everest base camp trekking

itinerary has been designed in consultation with professional mountaineers and guides

ensuring adequate time for proper acclimatization. While on the trek, we also pass through the

alpine forests, glacial rivers, and enjoy the warm hospitality of ethnic people. Visit the Buddhist

monasteries with prayer flags, the Sherpa and other ethnic villages with their simple yet rich

mountain lifestyles. The views are gorgeous, and walking in the Himalayas proves to be quite

an intense experience.

Jiri to Everest Base Camp Trek involves a tremendous amount of up-and-down walking. A

glance at a map will show why. All the rivers in this part of Nepal flow south from Himalayan

glaciers, but the trek route proceeds east. Therefore, the track must climb to the ridge that

separates two rivers, descend to the river itself, and ascend the next ridge. Even though the trek

begins at an elevation of 1860m, on the sixth day it crosses the Dudh Koshi at only 1500m – after

considerable uphill (and downhill) walking. If we total all the uphill climbing, it comes to

almost 10,000m of elevation gain from Jiri to Everest base camp. The road to Jiri saves almost

4000m of uphill walking over the old approach from Lamosangu that was used in the 1970s, but

this is still a long, hard trek with many steep hills.
