Trip Overview
The classic Everest trek will experience an unbeatable combination of natural beauty and cultural Diversity. The immense contrasts in altitudes, type of vegetation, and mix of lifestyles are the main attractions of this trek. One can enjoy beautiful mountain views, verdant terraces Himalayan streams, and waterfalls as the trail crosses through villages and landscapes covered by rhododendrons, magnolia, and giant forests. The mountains to be sighted during the trek are Gaurishanker, Number Himal, Kwangde, Twache, Nuptse, Lhotse, Amadablam, Thamsherku, and Everest.
The trek begins at Jiri (1905m). The trail heads eastward through the lovely forested hills of Solu and over the 3530m Lamajura Pass. Monasteries and panoramic mountain views lie ahead. The portion of the trek from Jiri to Lukla is often quiet, and therefore much better trekking country. We cross the Lamjura pass, 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.
Trip Highlights:
Lamjura pass. Experience Sherpa culture, Explore the Sherpa museum in Namche Bazar and the Panoramic view from Syanbuche. Tyangboche Monastery and amazing mountain views from Kalapatar as well as glacier from Everest base camp.
Unpleasant weather conditions, congested traffic in the Airport, unmanaged runway, topographical difficulties, etc. are the significant reasons for flight delays/cancellations in mountain airports such as Lukla, Jomsom, Simikot, Talcha, Juphal, Tumlingtar, Phaplu. So, if you intend on trekking to Everest, Dolpo, Annapurna, Kanchenjunga, Makalu, etc; arranging an additional one or two days in your trip is highly more suitable. This will help in case of flight delay/cancellation and thus board on the pre-planned international flight.
