Classic Everest Base Camp Trek

Duration: 24 Days | Based on 1 Review

Trek from Jiri to Everest base camp is a classic and original route. Long-time ago trekkers used to walk all the way from Jiri to EBC and trek back to the same place at Jiri but now, since there is a small mountain airport in Lukla has been build most of the trekkers would like to take at least one-way flight to or from Lukla.

The classic Everest base camp trek starts from Kathmandu with a scenic drive to Jiri or Shivalaya from where our adventure and the challenging journey begins. Gradually uphill and downhill, the trek reaches to Lukla then to Namche Bazaar where we will spend two nights to have proper acclimatization. In the next days, we trek to Tengboche, Dingboche, Lobuche, Gorak Shep and finally Kala Patthar and Everest base camp. Get enjoy and be thrilled being on the base camp of the world.

Classic Everest base camp trek covers low land from Jiri to highland Kalapathar (5545m). This is a breathtaking trip to Everest base camp walking with its panoramic view of Everest 8848m, Cho Oyu 8152m, Lhotse 8516m, Makalu 8463m and Ama Dablam 6456m. The trek ends at Lukla with a scenic flight back to Kathmandu.

Classic Everest Base Camp Trek from Jiri Shivalaya

We did the 20 days classic Everest Base camp trek starting from Jiri, Shivalaya. We received the best service from Alpine Eco Trek. Mr. Hari was our guide and had two porters Dhurba and Rajan. They were by us every waking hour. All of our overnight stays and meals were taken care of by Hari, our guide. An outstanding team with our comforts and safety in mind. An excellent team that knew all the local cultures and very familiar with high altitude sickness, our group of three were all in our 50s and Alpine Eco Trek and Rams team help us complete our trek as we were top notch climbers. Please always use a trekking company when trekking at altitude. We witnessed a few bad cases of those who did not.
