Everest
Trek Via Jiri
This is the best
way to do an Everest trek following the footsteps
of the old approach route followed by Everest
expeditions from the 1950's through the 70's.
It provides a good opportunity to see the densely
populated middle hills and the high altitude
splendor of the Khumbu, or Everest, region.
This trek starts
from Jiri (1905m). The trail heads eastward
through the lovely forested hills of Solu and
over the 3530m Lamajura Pass. Monasteries and
uninterrupted mountain views lie ahead. The
portion of the trek from Jiri to Lukla is often
uncrowded, and therefore much better trekking
country. We cross the Lamjura La, and Thaksindo
before descending towards the raging river of
the Dudh Kosi. We follow the “Dudh Koshi
river” north through terraced hillsides
and small villages to join the main Everest
trail below Lukla. By now you will have had
time to adjust to life on the trail and with
the benefits of increased fitness make the ascent
to Namche Bazaar. Once in the Khumbu region
the mountain views improve with every step-Kwangde,Thamserku,
Nuptse, Lhotse, Ama Dablam ,the "horse
saddle" of Kantega and of course the summit
of Everest itself.
From Namche the
trek follows the Gokyo lake to Everest Base
Camp crossing 5330m. Cho La Pass, and then fly
out from Lukla
