Route highlights
Everest Base Camp Trek from Jiri, an iconic mountain trail in the Khumbu region of Nepal followed by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, is an alternate route to the base camp of Mt. Everest. Our 24 Days Everet Base Camp Trek via Jiri is perfect for trekkers looking for a long trek in the Himalayas of Nepal.
There are routes to Everest Base Camp, via Lukla and Jiri. This Jiri to Everest Base Camp trekking trail, the longest trail in the Khumbu region of Nepal requires trekkers to cross lots of high passes like Deurali, Lamjura, and Trakshindo; villages like Shivalaya, Bhandar, Sete, and Rimgmo accompanied by the views of additional peaks like Ganesh, Langtang Lirung, Dorje Lakpa, and rivers, conifer, magnolia, and rhododendron forest, monasteries, farmhouses, prayer flags, and Mani walls before reaching Lukla. From Lukla, we follow the regular trail to the Everest Base Camp. Traditional Sherpa Art Center in Phugmoche, Cheese Factory in Ringmoo, and Hydro Power Prayer Wheel in Salung are some additional attractions of this route that is not included in any other trekking routes in the Everest region.
Other major highlights of this trek include Sagarmatha National Park, Phakding and Namche, Tengboche monastery – the highest monastery in the Himalayas, and Kala Patthar – the best Everest and sunrise viewpoint in the Khumbu region. Apart from the views of towering peaks like Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, and Sherpa lifestyle, you can also get acquainted with culturally rich Brahman, Chhetri, Magar, and Tamang in the lower region of the Solukhumbu. Therefore, if you are physically fit, have sound health, and have enough time, then planning Jiri to Everest Base Camp Trek (24 days) itinerary is the right option to enjoy the natural and cultural wonders of the Khumbu region. No prior experience is required to plan this trek. However, in case of time limitations, we can customize this trek to your requirements and budget. Moreover, some of the other best packages designed by Amigo Treks and Expedition like Everest Base Camp Trek (15 days), Everest Panorama Trek (10 days), and Island Peak Climbing (17 days) are also cost-effective and equally fulfilling. We also offer a special group discount and guarantee a 100% departure date on all customized packages.

Key Note:
High altitude weather conditions are usually unpredictable, even during the best trekking seasons. Because of this, there may be sudden schedule changes with domestic flights to and from Lukla. The time duration varies depending on the weather condition. The flights may be delayed for a minimum of several hours extending to several days, depending on the weather conditions. Therefore, we strongly recommend you get ready for this by adding a few extra days to your plan. However, if everything goes according to plan you will be left with days that can be well utilized to enjoy other attractions like rafting, jungle safari, shopping, and many more.
