Lukla Airport is the contemporary gateway for any trekking adventure in the Everest region of Nepal. Before the construction of this airport, many trekkers and climbers used the old route via Jiri to make this remarkable journey. The Jiri Everest Base Camp Trek is also known as the Everest Base Camp Classical Trek. You will be mesmerized by the exhilarating experience of trekking to Everest Base Camp (5364 meters). Follow the trail that Nepalese mountaineers use after their trek. If you want to explore the Lower Khumbu region and understand the culture of the people living in the Lower Khumbu, this is an ideal trek for trekking in Nepal.
The Jiri Everest Base Camp Trek journey starts from Kathmandu with a drive to Jiri, located east of Kathmandu. Alternatively, during the autumn and spring seasons, the trek can also be done directly from the drive to Salleri. The trek can also be started from this place.
The most fascinating part of this trek in Nepal is the wonder of Mother Nature and the villages of multi-ethnic people. Unlike the contemporary Everest Base Camp trek route, this trail features lush forests, streams, waterfalls, and villages. Places like Nunthala, Bupsa, and Surke will be on the way before reaching Phakding to meet the modern Everest Base Camp trek route. Rhododendrons, pines, magnolias, and many other flora can be experienced along the way. The villages of the Rai and Sherpa communities and their terraced farms provide a different understanding of the rural Nepalis living near Mount Everest. After more than three days of trekking, you will reach Phakding. From here, we will follow the usual modern route towards Everest Base Camp. For more information about this place, please visit our Everest Base Camp Trek Package on our website. After returning from the trek, we will take the Lukla route. A beautiful mountain flight from the world’s most extreme airport to Kathmandu will be our last act of this journey in Nepal.
NOTICE:
Domestic flight to and from Lukla
Unexpected weather conditions in the Everest region can sometimes cause Lukla flights to be canceled. So; what do you do if your flight is canceled at the last minute? If you have limited time in Nepal, we have several alternative options for Lukla flight cancellation. Be well-informed about this important issue in advance!
