Starting
with a 6 hour 188km, 118miles,drive
to Jiri 2,100m, 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 acclimatize en route. This trek
is about 190km/120miles long and
the total altitude gained on the
inumerable uphill portion totals
9000m - much higher 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
