An ancient Route trek to Mt. Everest From Jiri. - 28 days
The trek to Mt. Everest Base Camp continues to be one of our most rewarding journeys. To stand at the foot of the world's tallest mountain (Mount Everest - 8848m) is high up on the list of many people's desires. We follow an ancient route that will take us through tiny villages, across high mountain passes, and through remote valleys, villages, and monasteries. Everest Base Camp trek winds, climbs and descends its way through lush low land and alpine forest, Buddhist monasteries and authentic Sherpa Villages. Everest Base Camp trek also provides you the opportunity to explore the lifestyle of the Himalayan people, their religion, customs and traditions. Alluring birds like the golden eagle, snow pigeon, red-billed and yellow-billed choughs and flowers like rhododendron, magnolias, blue pine, chir pine, juniper and hemlock make the trekking a delight for nature lovers. What better way to take in this region than by begin at the bottom and reaching the heights of base camp by your own two feet. Spending the better part of two days at Everest Base Camp will give us plenty of time for exploring the base of the tallest mountain in the world! The return trek from Everest Base Camp continues to delight adventurous souls with more spectacular mountain views, lush forested valleys, and opportunities to learn about the Nepalese religion and culture. This trek has various name like Everest Base Camp Trekking, Trekking to Everest, Trek to Everest, Nepal Trekking, Best Trekking in Nepal, Everest Region Trekking, Mount Everest Base Camp Trek etc.
