The Jiri to Everest Base Camp Trek is the most classic trekking route. This route was used by early expeditions before the establishment of Lukla airport. The Jiri Everest Trek starts in the lowland of Jiri, or Bhandar. This trek introduces you to the entire Khumbu region, from its base to the apex of a Tibetan highland. And it provides the best opportunity to acclimatize to an incredible mountain view.

It includes Mt. Everest, 8,848 m. The Jiri to Everest Base Camp Trek is called a legendary trek. This journey takes you through the legendary land of the Sherpa and the mysterious Yeti. Driving about 6/7 hours from Kathmandu to reach Bhandar via a Jeep or a private vehicle. On the other side of the road, you can enjoy the scenic beauty passing through the pine forests, rivers, and alpine lakes. The trek encompasses the Emerald Hills, characterized by terraces brimming with golden rice and mustard plants.
