EBC Trek Via Jiri

There are two routes to access Everest Base Camp, one from Lukla and the other from Shivalaya, the road allows buses to continue beyond Jiri to Shivalaya where the trek now begins. The trek passes through green forests with rare birds and wild animals, luxurious valleys culminating with views of the Himalayas highest mountains. It is the classic route which was followed by Sir Edmund Hillary and TenzingNorgey Sherpa during their first summit (1995).

Located in the Khumba region of Nepal, you will see such famed giant peaks as Mt Lhotse, Mt Nuptse, Mt. Amadablam, Mt. Pumori and, of course, Mount Everest, the tallest mountain in the world.

You will witness the Mani Rimbu dance performed by the Sherpa's, visit Buddhist monasteries, and see countless prayer flags fluttering above pristine valleys.
