Trekking

Overview

EBC Trek via Jiri offers a unique opportunity to retrace the path of mountaineering legends Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa. This route stands out for its stunning natural beauty and rich cultural immersion. This unfolds a captivating story through its dramatic changes in elevation, vegetation, and way of life encountered along the way.

Trekkers are treated to breathtaking mountain vistas, lush green terraces sculpted into the hillsides, and refreshing Himalayan streams and waterfalls. The trail winds through charming villages and landscapes adorned with vibrant rhododendrons, magnolias, and towering forests. While the trek is undeniably long and demanding, the reward is an unforgettable journey through breathtaking mountain scenery and a glimpse into the lives of local communities.

Avoiding the Crowds and Embracing Simplicity

This route offers a distinct advantage – it bypasses the more crowded sections encountered on the traditional EBC trek further north. Here, you’ll find a sense of tranquility and a chance to truly connect with the natural surroundings. Accommodation on this trek provides basic but comfortable facilities, ensuring a restful experience after each day’s adventures.

Despite starting at a relatively moderate altitude of 2200 meters (7218 feet), the trek culminates at a challenging yet rewarding 5545 meters (18,222 feet) at Kala Patthar. This dark, rocky prominence offers unparalleled views of the majestic Mount Everest. The trail also dips down to as low as 1500 meters (4921 feet) while crossing the Dudh Koshi River. While the inclusion of a road to Jiri shaves off several days compared to the historical route starting from Lamosangu, this remains a challenging trek with many steep ascents to conquer. However, the stunning scenery and cultural encounters make the effort well worth it.

Starting from Jiri

The route passes through the Sherpa villages of the Solu Khumbu, many of them having beautiful Buddhist monasteries. The height gain is gradual making it easier to acclimatize. After a rest day in Namche Bazaar, the Sherpa capital, the trail continues to the famous Tengboche Monastery. The objective of the EBC trek via Jiri is to reach Kala Pattar, which offers a clear view of the southwest face of Everest, and also includes a trek to Everest Base Camp. The return journey leads to Lukla for the flight back to Kathmandu, concluding our Everest Base Camp trek via Jiri.

Notice on Domestic Flight Kathmandu to Lukla: The Government of Nepal has announced an issue for the flight operation to Lukla. Most flights to Lukla will commence from Ramechhap until further notice to avoid heavy traffic congestion in Kathmandu airport. The airport in Ramechhap is located 130km from Kathmandu (approximately 3-4 hours drive). Alternatively, helicopter arrangements can be made for 5 people sharing basis with the addition of USD 500 for one way flight per person to change your airplane flights to the helicopter. We will try to coordinate and form groups at the airport for this arrangement, but we cannot guarantee it. The drive to Ramechhap and flight to Lukla is guaranteed unless the flight is canceled due to bad weather conditions. Travelers are suggested to advise us on the preferred alternatives for the flights to/from Lukla affected due to possible delays or disruptions.
Important note: Your safety is of paramount importance to us at the Alpine Club of Himalaya. We reserves the right to cancel or modify your Gokyo and Everest trek itinerary for safety reasons. This may be due to weather, health concerns, natural disasters, or other unforeseen circumstances. In such extreme situations, your full cooperation with the appointed trip leader is essential. However, we assure you that we will make every effort to keep to the above itinerary.
