Jiri to Everest Base Camp is the original trek route to Everest Base Camp which starts from Jiri. The trek starts from a long drive from Kathmandu to Jiri. Since, most of the trekkers don’t want to do Everest Base Camp trek because of the Lukla flight, it is the best idea to skip flight to Lukla.  On the other hand there is no risk of trek being postponed because of delay in Lukla flights. Jiri to Everest Base Camp trek is also suitable for those trekkers who want to skip the crowd in the peak tourist seasons. This is a longer route of trekking and you will find very less trekkers on this route.

Jiri to Everest Base Camp Trek is a perfect trekking package to explore Everest Region. However, the walk to EBC is longer from here and consists of tremendous amount of ups and downs.  Also this trek is great from acclimatization point of view.  As you spend many days in Everest region you body can easily acclimatize in this region. The Jiri to Everest Base Camp Trek is the original trek route used by earlier explorers. 

Early in the morning you will depart to Jiri from Kathmandu. The drive is about 8 hours long. Jiri is a beautiful village which is also called as Switzerland of Nepal.
