Jiri to Kalapatthar & Everest Base Camp

"The Classic approach to Everest in the footsteps of pioneer mountaineers" … where nature and adventure walk hand-in-hand…..

This twenty day adventure from Jiri to the Everest Base Camp via Gokyo / Tshola is one of the most outstanding journeys Nepal has to offer, taking you from the least traveled to the most popular trekking route in the Khumbu region. This trek has a number of stunning attractions, including trekking through the Solu area, visiting the charming villages of Junbesi and Ringmo, and traversing the great Lamjura pass filled with excellent views of the high, snow-capped peaks. Other attractions include the spectacular scenery of the Himalayan ranges, the prevalent Buddhist culture, and the pristine forest of rhododendron and pine, all the while making friends as you pass through traditional rural farming villages. The Everest trek involves a great deal of uphill and downhill walking and gives you an opportunity to observe the daily activities of the local people and their traditional way of life that has been preserved and practiced for thousand of years. This trip also gives you a chance to climb Kalapathar, the highest point reached on this trek and one of its highlights, which offers breathtaking panoramic scenery of the giant, snowy mountains and of Mt. Everest, which seems to be a stone’s throw away. After a memorable time in the high valleys and mountains, a smooth, sweeping flight brings you back to Kathmandu.
