Everest Trek Via Jiri |
 |
|
This is the best way to do an Everest trek
following the footsteps of the old approach route followed by
Everest expeditions from the 1950's through the 70's. It provides
a good opportunity to see the densely populated middle hills and
the high altitude splendor of the Khumbu, or Everest, region.
This trek starts from Jiri (1905m). The trail heads eastward
through the lovely forested hills of Solu and over the 3530m
Lamajura Pass. Monasteries and uninterrupted mountain views lie
ahead. The portion of the trek from Jiri to Lukla is often
uncrowded, and therefore much better trekking country. We cross
the Lamjura La, and Thaksindo before descending towards the raging
river of the Dudh Kosi. We follow the “Dudh Koshi river” north
through terraced hillsides and small villages to join the main
Everest trail below Lukla. By now you will have had time to adjust
to life on the trail and with the benefits of increased fitness
make the ascent to Namche Bazaar. Once in the Khumbu region the
mountain views improve with every step-Kwangde, Thamserku, Nuptse,
Lhotse, Ama Dablam ,the "horse saddle" of Kantega and of course
the summit of Everest itself.
From Namche the trek follows the Gokyo lake to Everest Base Camp
crossing 5330m. Cho La Pass, and then flies out from Lukla. |
