Everest Trek (Jiri to EBC)

Before 1950, when Nepal opened its doors to foreigners after centuries of isolation. All Everest expeditions had to approach from Tibet. The 1953 British Everest Expedition was one of the first to climb from the Nepal side, and it was on May 29 of that year Tenzing Norgay Sherpa and Edmund Hillary stood atop its summit. This trek retraces their approach march, providing a journey back through mountaineering history.
From KTM you drive to the road head at Jiri and commence the walk through the lowland valleys of the Solu region. Peopled by the Sherpas and strongly Buddhist in culture. Some of the trails are steep as you trek north east across the grain of the long ridges which run down from the peaks to the north.
The scenery caries from lush, green valleys to pristine forest and high windy pass crossings- all the time with the thought that Hunt, Tenzing and Hillary walked these very trails on that historic expedition, After a well earned rest and acclimatization day at Namche Bazar, it is on up to the revered monastery at Tengboche from where Hunt's team sought blessings for their climb in 1953. As you gain altitude the pace slows, allowing more time to appreciate the atmosphere of you surroundings - long, narrow glacial valley overshadowed by towering peaks, smoky stone Sherpa hunts from which waft the smells of hot tea and fresh chapattis.
Finally you reach Lobuche village from where you will make the ascent of Kala Pattar (5545m), a rocky outcrop of the peak of Pumori. The views of Everest and the massive Khumbu Glacier sping from it are astounding. And as you look across to the wild and windy summit of Everest, the Mother Goddess of the Earth, you can almost see Tenzing and Hillary hugging and slapping each other on the back as they did on that day in 1953.From here you head back down the valley, visiting Pangboche Monastery before reaching Namche and then Lukla for the flight back to Kathmandu.

At the start of Jiri (1900m) this itineraries which leads you to the famous base camp of the Everest has the advantage of making you discover as a preliminary Solu Khumb, before projecting you in an extra ordinary mineral world. Trekking of average difficulty for entrains walkers, 16 days of walk
