Everest via Jiri 20 Days Trekking
The
CLASSIC JIRI to EVEREST BASE CAMP ROUTE Trek
A Trek Retracing The Expedition Route To Everest Base
Camp.
Starting with a 6 hour
(188km/118miles) drive to Jiri (2,100m/6,888ft) this
trek follows the traditional route taken by the early
Everest expeditions and still serves as main artery
to the roadless Sagarmatha (Everest) region. Known as
the Solu-Khumbu it is the home of the Sherpas. This
relatively tiny society of 8,000 people is the best
known and most admired of all Nepal's ethnic groups.
According to their oral history Sherpas migrated to
high valleys south of Mt. Everest from eastern Tibet
about 450 years ago, hence the name Shar-pa, "peoples
of the east." Many families along this route have
converted their homes into trekkers' lodges catering
to foreign hikers. Although a popular trekking route
the Everest area is visited by only some 8,000 visitors
each year - a fraction of the number that visits the
Annapurna region. Trekking through the Sherpa villages
we share many of their hearths and enjoy their generous
hospitality. Trekking in from Jiri has the advantage
of helping you to acclimatise en route. This trek is
about 190km/120miles long and the total altitude gained
on the inumerable uphill portions totals 9000m - much
higer even than Mt. Everest. After Namche we follow
the main trail to base camp (as per the 15-Day Close
Encounter With Everest itinerary) with all its attraction.
A legendary trek to a legendary destination.
Moderate to strenuous
trekking and lodging from 2,100m (6,888ft) to 4,940m
(16,200ft) with optional day hikes up to 5,550m (18,200ft).
Accommodation in comfortable lodges run by Sherpa families.
The trek starts with a drive from Kathmandu and includes
all meals, services of experienced local guide and porters
to carry luggage. Clients carry a day-pack only and
walk at their own pace.
