Jiri to Everest Base Camp Trek
Posted by: Admin | Date: February 13, 2010
This is the classic trek of the region, but the trail from the road head at Jiri to Lukla can be surprisingly quiet, just because many people wishing to fly directly to Lukla and missing out on this fantastic part of the trail.
Initially the trek is strenuous as you are crossing the country against the grain of the mountains and rivers. You will pass through beautiful scenery of ancient rhododendron forests, fields of barley and apple orchards, as you climb ridges to descend into to green river valleys. You begin to get a real feel for the country and way of life as you share the route with local porters carrying all manner of goods up beyond the road head and pass other goods flowing down towards the markets in Kathmandu.
Above Lukla you pass through the Sherpa heartland of Solu Khumbu rich in culture and mountain tradition before reaching the high point of the trek on Kalapatthar (5600m) famous for its view of Everest.
