We will have an early morning breakfast in a Kathmandu hotel and take a beautiful ride to Bhandar. We follow the Sun Koshi River for a while. Then enjoying the countryside view we cross over the bridge to reach Mude. The trail continues amid the forest offering the scenery of roaring rivers, snowcapped mountains, terraced farmland, and a beautiful village to reach the town of Jiri.

Jiri is the most developed and popular town in Dolakha. It is the gateway to Mount Everest and before Lukla airport was built. Jiri was the only way to reach Everest. It is famous for its scenic beauty; it is also known as the Switzerland of Nepal. Before road construction to Bhandar, Jiri was the starting point of this trek. But nowadays the bus goes straight to Bhandar, it takes around 9 hours to cover the distance of 145 kilometers to reach Bhandar. Overnight at Bhandar.

From Bhandar, we start our trek following the trail that descends to Likhu Khola. Then we cross the bridge which leads us to the village Kinja. After Kinja, we came across a tourist checkpoint. Here your TIMS card will be checked. Moving ahead we ascend steep uphill and we will reach Lamjura Pass after a few hours. Now we follow the steep zigzag path and ascend to Chimbu. The trail then comes to a fork from where we follow the right trail that passes through several terrace fields and leads us to Sete.

After breakfast in Sete, we follow the trail ascending through a rough path, a rhododendron forest, and a narrow ridge until Dachau. From Dagchu we climb up to the pass. It offers a splendid view of tantalizing mountains, cerulean landscape, and beguiling nature. On the way, we see the rhododendron flowers, Mani wheels, Chortens, prayer flags, and the chirp of birds. Then the trail drops from the pass-through dense forest and joins at a junction that traces left to Junbesi. Junbesi is one of the largest Sherpa villages, also called green orchard villages. Junbesi offers a magnificent view of a few gompas, Mani boulders topped by Mani wheels, and an orchard field of apples.

Today we take an acclimatization break in Junbesi to adjust to the higher altitude. And for the acclimatization, we will have a short hike to Tubten Choling Gompa. This hike passes through the cerulean landscape, many gompas, rivers, orchard farms, and Chortens. The trail to Gompa is a curve and zigzag path. Due to the tranquil peace and vibrant chorus of ‘OM MANI PADME HUM’, the environment inside and around the Gompa is aesthetic. This gompa was destroyed and later renovated many times. After inspecting the gompa, and enjoying the view of the beautiful orchard field nearby the village returns back to the lodge.

The trail from Junbesi crosses through a wooden bridge over Junbesi Khola. Here the trail forks and taking the EBC route leads to Phurteng tracing a downhill, uphill trail, and green forest. Putting offers serene views of Mt. Everest, Thamserku, Mera Peak, Kangtega, and Kusum Kanguru.
