Jiri Everest trek package follows the old Everest trekking route. This ultimately
lends it a title of classical Everest Base Camp trek. Jiri to
Everest route became popular when Tenjing Norgey Sherpa and Sir Edmund Hillary
successfully climbed Mount Everest for the first time in 1953
With colossal height of 8848m, Mount Everest is the highest
mountain in the world that lies in Khumbu region of Nepal.
Trekking from Jiri was the only viable option in earlier
days when there was no airport in Lukla. These days, Everest trek from Jiri is
not followed by many trekkers. Therefore, you can enjoy the privilege of
treading through the least crowded trekking area which progresses through High
Himalayan forest of blooming rhododendrons, rivers, high passes, ridges and
desolate settlements. You can find the remnants of several century old culture and traditions
still persisting today.
