Everest Base Camp trek via Jiri is one of the most popular and classic trekking trails to reach the lap of Mt. Everest (8,848.86m/29,031ft). Jiri to Everest Base Camp trek offers trekkers adventure as well as pristine Himalayan scenery.

Alpine forests, ice-cold rivers, beautiful rhododendrons and pine forests, stunning mountains, high passes, mountain villages, ancient monasteries, and good hospitality by Sherpa people are the major attractions of this trek. 


Jiri to Everest Base camp is one of the longest and most challenging journeys. It is also a journey in the mystical and mythical land of the Himalayas. It involves less-crowded lodges and amazing landscapes. Moreover, trekkers have close interaction with the wonderful, welcoming locals. Classic Everest trek involves a tremendous amount of up & down walking. And if we total all the uphill climbing, almost 10,000 of elevation is gained during this trek. Our Classic EBC trek begins at a lower altitude which usually adapts to the increasing altitude better as there will be a slow and steady climb up to a higher altitude. The varying altitude throughout the trek leads us from the lower hills to the high Himalayan.


There are two routes to the Everest Base Camp trek, one that begins from Lukla and another that begins in Jiri. And Everest Base Camp trek with Jiri follows the original route into the Solu-Khumbu region.  It is also known as the 'Classic Everest Treek' and this path was followed by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa and many other fledgling mountaineers. The Jiri to EBC route offers an incomparable combination of natural & cultural wonders. This trek is best for those who are looking for an extended stay in the Himalayan countryside and greater exposure to the Sherpa culture.
