Jiri to Everest Base Camp and Kala Pathar Trek

Jiri to Everest Base Camp and Kala Pathar Trek passes through the some of the most magnificent mountain scenery on earth. The view of Mount Everest from Tengboche Monastery is without equal. From Everest Base camp we meet many summit expeditions, but we can’t actually see the summit, which is the reason it includes a climb up nearby Kala Pattar, from where we get and excellent view from Kalapattar 5545m.
The trek to Everest Base camp starting from Jiri has many advantages over the traditional Everest Base Camp trek starting from Jiri Perhaps that is the reason Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norge followed this trek on their first summit of Mount Everest in 1952. Starting at low-lying Jiri, 2000m, and descending even further to Kinja, 1100m, the trail passes through a number of ascents and descents which provide excellent acclimatization for the highest point of the trek, Kala Pattar, 5545m. Lying just to the south of the original Everest Trail from Bhandar we pass through authentic Sherpa villages. On the first part of the trail Jiri to Namche there are not so many trekkers. The Lamjura Pass, 3500m, high above the Solu valley, provides acclimatization as well as the first of many breathtaking views of Mount Everest.From the Linkhu Khola we climb steadily through terraced fields, on the trail we find rhododendron and magnolia forest.Namche Bazaar, we are finally on the Traditional Everest Base Camp trail, and, during the peak season, meet many mountaineering expeditions and trekkers and Sherpa guides. Khumbu Valley there are awesome views of Mount Everest. On the way to EBC we get an excellent view of the Khumbu Glacier icefall; the ice appears to spring from the head of the Khumbu valley.The natural environment of the Everest Region has been historically protected by its Buddhist inhabitants. Additionally it is enclosed in the Sagarmatha National Park and many more.
