Overview
Everest Base Camp has multiple routes but none are as iconic as the Classic Everest Base Camp Trek. The very first successful ascent to the majestic Mount Everest in 1953 by Tenzing Norgay and Sir Edmund Hilllary began on this path. Cementing this trail’s legendary status in the history books.
Our 21 days adventure begins in Kathmandu by road to Jiri and onward to Junbesi. Trekking through this revered region, known as a Mecca for mountaineers and climbers, offers a larger-than-life experience.
Following an eight-hour scenic drive from Kathmandu, we arrive at Jiri, the traditional starting point of the trek. However, we drive a bit more up to Junbesi. The route traverses through the lesser-developed Solu region of the Everest area, in contrast to the more bustling northern Khumbu region. This allows trekkers to immerse themselves in the rich traditional culture and interact with local communities.
As we trek, we pass through numerous villages inhabited by various ethnic groups, including Tamang, Jirel, Rai, Brahmin, Chettri, and, of course, the Sherpa people. The trail involves undulating terrain, with ample amenities such as tea houses and suitable campsites available in most villages. This trek encompasses several renowned places, including Jiri, Lukla, Phakding, Namche Bazaar, Gokyo Lake, Gokyo Ri, Cho La Pass, Kala Patthar, and Everest Base Camp. Completing this trek signifies that you have experienced all that Solukhumbu has to offer.
