Everest Trek Via Jiri

Today you arrived in Kathmandu, Nepal for your trip. As soon as you leave for Kathmandu Airport, our staff will be waiting for you in the waiting room just in front of the arrival hall. The representative will warmly welcome you and guide you to the vehicle. Our car will take you to a suitable Hotel, 20-30 minutes drive from the airport, depending on traffic conditions. After checking in at the hotel, there are no scheduled activities today, except for our travel briefings, so you can take a little time for yourself. And, just before the evening our staff member will provide you with a short briefing about the trip.

After, a healthy breakfast at the hotel of Kathmandu. An experienced guide from our company will give you a city tour around Kathmandu Valley. Where you can explore different sculptures and ancient temples. Similarly, you will be traveling to the world heritage sites of the city.

The journey of the day begins today with a drive to Salleri  east of Kathmandu. It’s a day to experience a country drive or take a look at the country lifestyle, albeit from the local jeep. It will be a long day on a road, and by the time we get to our destination, we will be tired enough to sleep straight.

The next day, we continue drive to Bhupsa by local Jeep. While driving you will see the atmosphere of the countryside of Nepal for your first trekking experience. 

Trekking from Bupsa to Surkhe is still a great day. The first section of the trail continues to climb towards Khari La. The trails are fairly tricky, with uneven rock surfaces on rocky hills. On this day, you can get a glimpse of some mountain views and the expanding valley of the Dhudh Kosi River. When you reach Khari La, you can see it along the Lukla and  river valleys. Pass Paiyan village, go down to Surkhe and stay overnight

Today we will trek to Jorsalle from Surukhe. During this trip we will travel through some of the most beautiful lush forest of the region and you will experience the unique bio diversity of the place. Similarly, on this journey the view of Dudh Koshi river valley still accompanies us and reliefs us of walking tiredness with its vast and mysterious charm. We reach Cheplung village to meet the regular Everest base camp trail that comes from Lukla. We finish walking the classic trail route and enter regular and commonly used trail walking towards Phakding along the Dudh Koshi valley. Phakding village lies beautifully on the bank of Dudh Koshi River.
From Phakding the trail follows the western bank of Dudh Kosi passing through forests of Blue Pine until it reaches the village of Benkar (2700m). From here the trail crosses to the eastern bank of the Dudh Kosi and climbs gently to the village of Chumoa. Between here and the next village of Monjo (2800m) the trail drops steeply to cross Monjo Khola. 

From Monjo, the trail crosses a small rock saddle and then descends abruptly to re-cross the Dudh Kosi at Jorsale (2804m). Beyond Jorsale the trail undulates up until the confluence with Bhote Kosi is reached. From here the Khumbu region begins. Above the bridge, the trail zigzags up 300m of the steep spur between the two rivers through sparse forest. From the top of the spur, Mt. Everest can be seen rising above the Nuptse-Lhotse wall. The next section of the trail climbs less steeply, traversing above the Bhote Kosi until Namche Bazaar is reached. Namcha Bazaar is a market town, where every Saturday morning traders from lower altitudes sell goods to sherpas. Most of the trading is over by mid-day and the traders return to their villages.

Known as the ‘Gateway to Everest’ we will spend today here in order to acclimatize and adjust to the thinning air. A short trek to the museum celebrating the traditional customs of the Sherpa people, as well as about flora & Fauna & its land, more importantly, from here you will get the proper glimpse of Everest and the surrounding mountains. And we hike up the Syanbuche airport, and Everest views hotel and sightseeing at the Khumjung village (3800m / 12,466ft), which is the biggest settlement of Sherpa. Khumjung is one of the most beautiful villages in the Everest area. Its symmetrically laid-out stone dwellings house the families of many of our Sherpas. Overnight at the guest house.

An enjoyable walk down to the river at Phunki Thangka to lunch next to water-driven prayer wheels. A steep but short climb takes us to Tengboche Monastery through forests of blue pine, fir, and black juniper. Overnight at the guest house.

The trek from Dingboche We leave the lodge comfort and head to Dingboche. Trekking passes through the villages of Dingboche and Pingboche. The village of Pamboche is home to the region’s largest, beautiful monastery, with the Yeti scalp. After exploring the monastery, follow the road to Dingboche. Similarly, Dingboche is a beautiful Sherpa village at a height of 4,410 meters above sea level, with stunning views of the mountaintops. This village is a frequent stop for trekkers and climbers to Everest Base Camp, Ama Dablam, and Island Peak. 

On our acclimatization day, the group will be taken to Nagarjun Hill(5050m/15291ft). This point offers fantastic views of the fifth highest mountain Makalu 8463m/25625ft. After appreciating the surrounding scenery, we trek back to our camp in Dingboche, relaxing in the evening. 

On the 12th day of your Everest Trek, you will be traveling from Dingboche to Lobuche. Similarly, on this trip, you will be at an elevation of 4940m above sea level. This is the same reason we acclimatize at Dingboche for a day. Likewise, the day will bring us breathtaking views of the Himalayan peaks. After, we return back to Dingboche from the hike and go to explore the surrounding area for a while. Overnight in Lodge.

Today is the day to reach the end of this epic journey. After stopping there for lunch, trek to Everest Base Camp via Gorakshep. Gorakshep acts as an overnight location for the day. After checking in at the Gorakshep lodge, embark on a journey to the magnificent Everest Base Camp. The road to the foot of the highest mountain in the world is full of glacier moraines and rocks. We arrive at the base camp, where we take pictures and have a great time absorbing the mountain atmosphere. Then return to Gorakshep and stay overnight

Today the hike we do this early morning takes us to the highest altitude of the trip. When trekking to Kala Patthar to enjoy a spectacular sunrise from the panorama of the Himalayas, we are at an altitude of 5,545 meters above sea level, the highest point of this trek. We are beautifully watching the rising sun from the glorious mountains and a 360-degree view from the top then you can take pictures of the mountains and sunrise and later return to the Gorakshep lodge for breakfast.

Finally, the final day of this trek is here today. Return to Lukla along the Dhudh Kosi River via Monjo and Pakding. The round trip on the Everest Base Camp Trail ends here. To celebrate the end of the trekking part of the trip, we thank our wonderful and wonderful support crew members for their service and efforts to safely return to the base camp and take us.
