Jiri to Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Lake trek is one of the famous and
classic trekking trails to reach Mt. Everest (8848m). The Jiri to Everest Base
Camp and Gokyo Valley trek rewards you with adventure as well as pristine
Himalayan scenery. This area is mostly inhabited by the Sherpas, and the major
highlights of this trek are the alpine forests, ice-cold rivers, astonishing
rhododendron and pine forests, magnificent mountains, high passes, mountain
villages, attractive monasteries, and meeting friendly local people.
The trail starts from Jiri and ends in Lukla and passes through many exciting and
amusing villages that are now visited by trekkers each year. While on the trek,
we move through alpine jungles and glacial streams while enjoying the warm
hospitality of ethnic people. The trail leads us through many villages of different
cultural groups. Some of them are Tamang, Jerel, Rai, Brahmin, Chhetri, and
mostly the Sherpas. While visiting the Buddhist monasteries/nunneries adorned
with prayer flags, we can get a glimpse of Buddhism in the Himalayas. The trail
also reaches the most sacred monastery of the region, Tengboche Monastery.
The trail goes through high passes including Deurali Pass (2705m), Lamjura-La
Pass (3530m), and Thaksindo-La Pass (3071m). Some of the peaks that can be
viewed during this trek are Everest (8848m), Cho Oyo (8201m), Lhotse (8516m),
Makalu (8481m), Ama Dablam (6856m), Thamserku (6623m) and many other
surrounding peaks. You will also have the opportunity to have a close look at the
remarkable Khumbu Icefall from Everest Base Camp. Jiri to Everest Base Camp
and Gokyo Lake trek is a great exploration and audacious trek for physically fit
people, who are strong-minded to test themselves within the changeability of
mountain life.
