Overview

The Jiri to EBC trek is a timeless Himalayan adventure. It winds through lush forests, scenic farmland, and picturesque Sherpa villages. Unlike the popular Lukla route, this path offers a slower, more immersive introduction to Nepal’s highlands.

This trek to Everest base camp begins in Jiri, a peaceful town nestled in the foothills. From here, the trail leads into the Sagarmatha National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site rich in biodiversity. Gradually, the journey climbs from 2,845 meters to the legendary Everest Base Camp at 5,364 meters.

Along the way, trekkers are rewarding with the breathtaking views of Lhotse, Cho Oyu, and Makalu, marked the world’s highest peaks. Moreover, the route passes the surreal Khumbu Icefall, a dramatic landscape of jagged ice towers and deep crevasses.

Importantly, Jiri to Everest itinerary includes acclimatization days, making it suitable for all experience levels. This gradual ascent helps prevent altitude sickness and allows trekkers to walk at their own pace. As a result, it’s an excellent option for those seeking a safe and enriching alternative to the direct flight into Lukla.

Spanning approximately 170 kilometers, this trail is steeped in natural beauty and cultural depth. Travelers encounter ancient monasteries, yak caravans, and the legendary Sherpa hospitality. While less tourist, the Jiri to EBC trekking is a hidden gem and ideal for those who crave solitude, adventure, and authenticity.

Likewise, from Jiri to Everest trail passes through diverse ecological zones, featuring lush rhododendron, pine, and oak forests at lower elevations, and alpine shrubs and mosses higher up. Along the way, trekkers may encounter Himalayan tahr, musk deer, langurs, and various birds like the Danphe (Nepal’s national bird) and Himalayan monal.

Notably, this trek is possible in all months, though spring and autumn offer the clearest skies. Ultimately, the Jiri to Everest trek delivers an unforgettable journey through the heart of the Himalayas and one that few have the privilege to experience.

EBC TREK with best guide Kamal

September 12, 2022

Ammar’s friendly demeanor and willingness to assist made all the difference in planning our trip. Thanks to his help, we had a wonderful EBC TREK experience with a knowledgeable guide and a helpful porter. They were both friendly and open to customizing our trek to suit our preferences, all at an affordable price. We couldn’t have asked for a better company to journey with, and we highly recommend their services.

Everest Base Camp Trek with Bishnu Guide

October 25, 2021

We have booked an Everest base camp trek with a Gokyo Treks and Expedition, a local agency in Nepal. Like other trekking, we choose a guide Bishnu Panday for our Everest holiday. Although it is a peak season there were very less trekkers in the region because of covid-19 travel restrictions.

Ammar, the owner of the agency was friendly and answered all of my questions, and offered a cheaper deal to us. Luckily we had good weather, a perfect Lukla flight, and also from base camp, we achieved the most amazing view of Khumbu Icefall and little stone stupas, an open memorial park of death climbers.

Besides trekking, Ammar took us to a world heritage site of Kathmandu. Thanks, Ammar for arranging a great trip for us. We are hoping to be back for the next adventure in the coming spring season in Nepal.

For our trek, we were searching for a trekking agency to connect with a guide and organize the necessary permits and so on. We found Gokyotreks! it’s a company led by Ammar who responded very fast to every question and helped us were ever out was necessary.

On our Trek, we had our guide very nice guy. He did everything to make the trek as easy for us as possible. We had a very great time trekking and can fully recommend the service of Gokyotreks. At the end of our holiday, we had a few spare days and Ammar organized a trip to Chitwan National Park.
