Jiri to Everest Base Camp trek is one of the most popular trek routes in the world - a once in a lifetime adventure travel hike in the company of inspiring and breathtaking Himalayan scenery. It is worth pointing out that the walk - in from Jiri offers much benefit through gradual altitude acclimatization as well as a very special experience in getting to know the countryside lifestyle of this region and their Buddhist culture, rather than direct flight to Lukla. Populated by the Sherpa, the attraction of this area are the majestic mountains, the high mountain villages, charming monasteries and congenial people. This area includes the highest mountain in the world Mount Everest, the alpine forests, glacial rivers and amazing rhododendron and pine forests.
The trail from Jiri to Namche passes through numerous interesting villages that are now visited by a small number of trekkers each year. While on the trek, we also pass through the alpine forests, glacial rivers, and enjoy the warm hospitality of ethnic people. The trail passes through numerous villages of different ethnic groups including Tamang, Jirel, Rai, Brahmin, Chettri and of course the Sherpa's. Visit the Buddhist monasteries with prayer flags, the Sherpa and other ethnic villages with their simple yet rich mountain lifestyles. The views are gorgeous, and walking in the Himalayas proves to be quite an intense experience.
