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 flies out from Lukla |
