A
Trek Retracing The Expedition Route
To Everest Base Camp. |
Starting
with a 6 hour (188km/118miles) drive
to Jiri (2,100m/6,888ft) this trek
follows the traditional route taken
by the early Everest expeditions and
still serves as main artery to the
roadless Sagarmatha (Everest) region.
Known as the Solu-Khumbu it is the
home of the Sherpas. This relatively
tiny society of 8,000 people is the
best known and most admired of all
Nepal's ethnic groups. According to
their oral history Sherpas migrated
to high valleys south of Mt. Everest
from eastern Tibet about 450 years
ago, hence the name Shar-pa, "peoples
of the east." Many families along
this route have converted their homes
into trekkers' lodges catering to
foreign hikers. Although a popular
trekking route the Everest area is
visited by only some 8,000 visitors
each year - a fraction of the number
that visits the Annapurna region.
Trekking through the Sherpa villages
we share many of their hearths and
enjoy their generous hospitality.
Trekking in from Jiri has the advantage
of helping you to acclimatise en route.
This trek is about 190km/120miles
long and the total altitude gained
on the inumerable uphill portions
totals 9000m - much higer even than
Mt. Everest! After Namche we follow
the main trail to base camp (as per
the 14-day Close Encounter With Everest
itinerary) with all its attraction.
A legendary trek to a legendary destination.
Moderate
to strenuous trekking and lodging from
2,100m (6,888ft) to 4,940m (16,200ft)
with optional day hikes up to 5,550m
(18,200ft). Accommodation in comfortable
lodges run by Sherpa families. The trek
starts with a drive from Kathmandu and
includes all meals, services of experienced
local guide and porters to carry luggage.
Clients carry a day-pack only and walk
at their own pace.
