Jiri To Everest Base Camp Trek, Before the establishment of the Airport in Lukla which eventually now is deemed the starting point for the trekkers to Everest base camp, it used to be an arduous journey for people in the past as it involved hiking for a week in the countrysides of the Solu-Khumbu region. From Lukla, the journey starts following the Everest camp through the towns of Phadking, Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, Pheriche, and Gorak Shep before arriving at Everest Base Camp arranged on the south side of the mountain.
Jiri To Everest Base Camp Trekking is for the ones who have been searching for a lengthy visit to the open country of the Himalayas and a more noteworthy presentation of the genuine activities of the Sherpa individuals and their way of life, untainted by the more famous traveler course that will be experienced later on the trip. The Jiri variation is the alternative to avoid the flight of Lukla due to the unpredictable climate of the place.
The highlight of the Jiri To Everest Base Camp Trek incorporates the main week spent predominantly in the Solu Khumbu area among flawless terraced farmlands, woodlands, and the wonderful Dudh Koshi River. A large portion of the Sherpa individuals live in this district so hope to experience the benevolent cordiality of local people while you find out about their way of life and customs as you gradually adapt to the high elevation.
Finally, you will be welcomed with the surreal and breathtaking scenarios of Everest base camp and the surrounding peaks as you ascend your ways up to the valley of Khumbu and towards the camp. This trip ( Jiri To Everest Base Camp Trek ) will end at this point helping you connect every dots in a rational fashion and helping you understand how this journey was beautiful for you in every way.

Why it’s best to have a GUIDE when trekking in Nepal….
1) To really get to KNOW the beautiful country of Nepal. A licensed trekking guide will enhance your knowledge and appreciation of culture, flora and fauna and animals, mountaineering, and the peaks of Nepal. A guide can add so much depth and richness to your trek experience.
2) Safety. No one knows the details that will keep you safe like a trained trekking guide. Changes in the weather, changes in trail conditions, awareness of any political/social situations that could endanger you (for example, when we trekked in 2003, there was political unrest going on in certain areas; our guide knew where to go and where to avoid!)
3) Peace of mind and an uncomplicated travel experience. It takes a lot of mental energy to figure out bus timetables, to wonder about prices and bargaining, and to arrange to lodge when trails are crowded. We “could” have handled these details (we’re experienced travelers), but going out with a licensed trekking guide was the best decision and worth every dollar. Our guide kept us enchanted and informed about each peak and valley we were seeing, and he called ahead each day to confirm lodging. He gave advice that probably saved us much misery, such as “only order dishes with meat during our 1st or 2nd day of the trek...after that, it’s best to stick to egg and vegetarian options because meats have been carried in greater distances, stored for longer times, and there is the possibility of food poisoning”. Our guide kept current of weather forecasts and trail conditions and was able to make necessary modifications of which we would have been unaware.
4) The opportunity to form a friendship with a Nepali national. Trekking clients will have differing expectations of socializing, but in our case, we greatly enjoyed getting to know our guide, sharing meals, learning about Nepali life and culture through his eyes, enjoying laughs and after-dinner card games, and truly feeling like we were a group of “3 travelers + guide = 4”.
In conclusion, if you do not hire a trekking guide, it is possible to save a little money. But, my strong recommendation is that you trek with a GUIDE when exploring the amazing mountains of Nepal. Twice we have trekked Nepal, and twice we have had a guide….and we never regretted the decision for a moment.
