Jiri to Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar is a highly praised trekking route of the Everest region. It was in 1953 when two renown figures Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgey Sherpa had taken the same route for the Mt. Everest expedition. After an eight-hour scenic drive from Kathmandu to Jiri, our trek starts the following morning, by passing through the lower parts of Everest region that are relatively undeveloped compared to the northern side of the district around Namche Bazaar.

This enables trekkers to experience many traditional aspects of culture and local people. The trail passes through numerous villages of different ethnic groups including Tamang, Jirel, Rai, Brahmin, Chettri and of course the Sherpa. Walking along this trek involves many ups and downs with the trail being well serviced with tea houses and good campsites in most of the villages. The trial is not much totally upping and downs Before Phakding we can see lots of far views of mountain and numerous hillocks, Then Pahkding we will be closer of the mountain where lots of Gompa as well. In Khumbu region there are lots of Sherpa People who is very famous and good stamina for climbing the mountain and carrying the loads. Really moist of the people who know about the expedition group they choose Sherpa people they believe with them, Because of the strong stamina and they live in high mountain region. On the way to EBC lots of yak pasture Lame pasture and other pet animals as well. So many wild animals and birds also we can see from there.
