Trip Facts
Trip Overview
In comparison to the other Everest Base Camp treks, the Jiri Trek is relatively easy, and takes you along the trails to Tengboche Monastery and further up to Everest Base Camp. This is considered a long but very scenic trek and offers lovely views of world's highest peaks, including Everest, Lhotse, Thamserku, Ama Dablam and other many snowy peaks. This trek represents the native and original aspect of Sherpa people and their country. Our trek starts with a drive from Kathmandu to Shivalaya via Jiri in the Solu region and from there we trek up to Khumbu region, a settlement of the Sherpas people. The picturesque villages and various ethnic groups including Tamang, Jirel, Rai, Brahmin, Chettri and of course the Sherpas make the village a spectacular colorful and well decorated orchard with various blooming flowers. The trail is well serviced by tea houses and camps, which make your treks along the countryside comfortable and accommodating.
The trek continues by passing through picturesque ancient places such as Junbesi, Lamjura pass, Namche Bazaar, the main trading village of the Khumbu area, and continuing via Tangboche, Lobuche to Everest Base Camp and up to Kalapattar. We then trek back down to Tengboche monastery, returning to Lukla. We always consider your health. Consider making the most of your trip to the Everest region by combining this with another trip we offer. There are so many options here! Let us help you plan your trip!
Trip Highlights

Chet and his team are highly professional! Everest Base Camp Trek - the life-changing journey!
Robert Liow
I did EBC on a private tour with one of my friends in December 2017. We chose Advanced Adventures because our friend couldn't recommend them enough! It turned out that they are everything our friend said and beyond! Chet and his team are highly professional! They met all our needs and all the last minute requests including the recommendation of local services, organisation of day tours in Kathmandu! We couldn't make it to Everest Base Camp & Kala Patthar without our guide, Tej Karki! He is very professional but also friendly, caring and attentive! He set the right paces for the hike, checked the water we drank and meals we ate to make sure that we wouldn't get AMS or/and food poisoning. I can't thank you guys enough! You made my trip one I will remember for the rest of my life!

Everest Trek was an Unforgettable Experience with Advanced Adventures
Alpha Guillermoa | Australia
An unforgettable experience! I decided to tackle on Everest Base Camp on a whim because I thought, why not! I am lover of the great outdoors and what better place to go to than Nepal, home to the great Himalayas.
I sought adventure, challenge and fun and it was definitely met! And even with very little preparation it was all made possible thanks to Advanced Adventures! The Himalayas is without a doubt an embodiment of all things majestic. Everywhere you looked was just one panoramic view after panoramic view of astonishing sceneries, and there were countless times I was rendered speechless by what was in front of me. Amazing, breathtaking, astounding, mesmerizing! All these words are mere understatements, and pictures do absolutely no justice, as nothing compares to actually being there in the flesh.
Being in among it all; the challenge of the pass, the beautiful mountains and landscapes, the people, their culture, the many villages and tea houses we passed through; dissolved any doubts I had in coming to Nepal. I felt safer than anywhere I had ever been being a solo female traveler.
Purna, my guide, was very professional, and had a vast knowledge of the mountains and its people. And though I went to do the trek alone, I never felt like I was as he, along with my porter Prakash, was absolutely great company. I also got to meet some awesome people along the way whom I ended up trekking with all the way to the final destination!
Purna and Prakash not only took great care of me and made me feel safe and secure, but they, together with the new friends I made, also made the trek so much fun and made my experience that much more unforgettable! To anyone thinking of undertaking this incredible feat, Advanced Adventures is the company to go with. Mr. Chet Bhatta and his fantastic team proved to be nothing but excellent and I’m so glad to have done the EBC trek with AA! Thank you so much for the adventure of a lifetime!

The trek itself was amazing and we really enjoyed the challenge of the mountain climbs !
Mr. & Mrs. Denver & Kelly Parker
The trek itself was amazing and we really enjoyed the challenge of the mountain climbs !
Ever since I was a little girl, I have always dreamed of going to Mt Everest. I wanted to use a Nepal based tour group for my visit and found Advanced Adventures via Google. I found Chet had an excellent grasp on English and he was really easy to deal with. So my husband and I made our booking and started to train… I have to admit I was nervous about someone actually being there at the airport when we arrived in Kathmandu, rather than some rogue website! But all went to plan and we were greeted at the airport by our Guide and shortly thereafter met Chet Bhatta.
From the moment we were picked up at the airport, everything ran really smoothly and any last minute questions or concerns we had were quickly put at ease. We flew in on time to Lukla airport and started the great walk. The trek itself was amazing and we really enjoyed the challenge of the mountain climbs. We made sure we did as much training as we could fit in before we left and it paid off. Our guide was Eaklal and our Sherpa was Suresh. They were excellent to deal with and we very well looked after. Most days Suresh would beat us to the next teahouse and for the whole trip we never waited for than 5 minutes for our bags to arrive. Eaklal spoke English really well and they were both more than happy to spend some free time playing some awesome Nepal card games that they taught us.
We mostly struggled with the cold. We come from sunny Qld so the temperatures as low as -20 were a bit of a shell shock. Although we knew how cold it could be, we thought that the teahouses would have fireplaces burning part of the day and night… This is not the case. Rather, most had ‘pot bellied stoves’ that we saw would only be fired up mostly between 5pm and 9pm. This is due to the limited amount of fuel ie yak dung. So it was hard to get warm once you stopped walking for the day. But the amazing people, food and scenery far outweighed and concern about being cold.
The teahouses were pleasant and the food was actually really good. It was such a good feeling to get to base camp – a big tick off the bucket list!
We had amazing weather walking up to base camp but some cloudy/foggy weather for part of the trip down. We were lucky enough to hitch a ride back to Kathmandu via a helicopter – this was truly breathtaking flying over the Himalayas in a helicopter. And this did not cost us an extra cent. I am confident this only happened because of the good relationships and reputation that Advanced Adventures have.
We will certainly be recommending to our friends to make this amazing trip and to use Advanced Adventures.
A big thank you from Kelly and Denver Parker.

EBC Trek- March/April, 2014
We can say that booking a trek with Advanced Adventures was the best decision we ever made.
Mrs. Carole Lalande’ & Mr. Gaetan Martin- Canada
We can say that booking a trek with Advanced Adventures was the best decision we ever made.
We traveled in Nepal for the first time of our life, at 49 and 52 years old, on October 2013. Carole’s life dream was to trek to Everest Base Camp. So we looked up the internet and decided to book our trip with Advanced Adventures, a Nepal local company. We can say that it was the best decision we ever made. Chet, the executive director, was very patient and replied to all the e-mails and questions we had for him to prepare our trip.
When we arrived at the airport of Kathmandu, we were taken care of by the Advanced Adventures team. They came to get us at the airport to bring us at a very nice hotel. The meals were all included and we visited the city of Kathmandu the next day with a guide just for us. For dinner at night, Chet brought us to a restaurant for a welcome traditional meal.
But the real treat started on the second day. Our guide, Lok, came with us from the hotel to the airport to take the helicopter with us. We were lucky to have an helicopter instead of a plane he said. Probably we were lucky, but we found out during our trip that Advanced Adventures makes sure to give all the best to their clients. Our guide, Lok, was always taking care of us in all matters, from our security to our meals, teas, biscuits, lodges and we never had to pay anything more than the package we paid at the beginning. Our porter, Bisnu was also so wonderful to us. He would hurry to lodges with our heavy duffle bags, so he could come back to take our backpacks so we could climb more easily to our arrival point. We noticed during the trek that we were always getting a little more from Lok and Bisnu than other clients were getting from their guides. When we came back to Kathmandu, we had a party dinner and when we asked Chet if we could bring with some friends we made on the trek, he said: ‘’Of course they can come’’!!!
We were so spoiled from Advanced Adventures that we recommend them to everybody who want to make sure they will get the best out of a trek in the Himalayas.
Thank you again to Chet, Lok and Bisnu who helped us realized this wonderful trip and accomplishment to reach the Everest Base Camp. They certainly have a nice place in our hearths for life.

Everest Base Camp Trek- Sep/ 2015
Trip Overview
In comparison to the other Everest Base Camp treks, the Jiri Trek is relatively easy, and takes you along the trails to Tengboche Monastery and further up to Everest Base Camp. This is considered a long but very scenic trek and offers lovely views of world's highest peaks, including Everest, Lhotse, Thamserku, Ama Dablam and other many snowy peaks. This trek represents the native and original aspect of Sherpa people and their country. Our trek starts with a drive from Kathmandu to Shivalaya via Jiri in the Solu region and from there we trek up to Khumbu region, a settlement of the Sherpas people. The picturesque villages and various ethnic groups including Tamang, Jirel, Rai, Brahmin, Chettri and of course the Sherpas make the village a spectacular colorful and well decorated orchard with various blooming flowers. The trail is well serviced by tea houses and camps, which make your treks along the countryside comfortable and accommodating.
The trek continues by passing through picturesque ancient places such as Junbesi, Lamjura pass, Namche Bazaar, the main trading village of the Khumbu area, and continuing via Tangboche, Lobuche to Everest Base Camp and up to Kalapattar. We then trek back down to Tengboche monastery, returning to Lukla. We always consider your health. Consider making the most of your trip to the Everest region by combining this with another trip we offer. There are so many options here! Let us help you plan your trip!
Trip Highlights
- Trek the popular trekking trail in Nepal. The trail is easy going with rolling hills, like the waves in an ocean. The trail is the classic trail used by trekkers and climbers before 1953 making it one of the oldest trekking trails of present day Nepal.
- The landscape includes the Himalayan panorama, which gradually comes closer and becomes more wonderful as the trek goes higher to Everest Base Camp. The views of deep Dudh Koshi River Valley blend so well with the lush vegetation of Sagarmatha National Park. It's a must-see!
- We encounter the authentic Sherpa culture in the mountainous villages and recieve and the warm hospitality of the families of local mountaineers.
- The highland monasteries, the sacred maniwalls engraved with Buddhist prayers, colorful prayer flags portraying spirituality, the memorials, chortens and every aspect that demonstrates Tantric Buddhism of Nygingma Pa Sect.
- The floral and faunal biodiversity of Sagarmatha National Park.
- A trek to Kalapattar for the whole view of Everest.
- The glacial walk over Khumbu Glacier that extends from Khumbu Icefall. The most important highlight of Everest Base Camp itself.
- Everest Base Camp via Jiri also highlights the cultural opulence of Kathmandu Valley the day before the trek begins as well as the cultural richness in the villages between Jiri and Namche, where only few trekkers have managed to visit.
What to expect on this trek In this adventurous and exciting trek, you are likely to walk 6-7 hours per day with a light rucksack. High altitude trekking is more physically demanding than walking in lower altitudes. To accomplish the trek, you should have excellent health with above average physical fitness, positive attitude, self-confidence and strong determination. If you are experienced in walking/trekking in high altitude environments this trek will likely feel easier. If you have pre-existing medical conditions such as heart, lung, and blood diseases please kindly inform us before booking the trip. We are highly conscious of your health and safety.

Chet and his team are highly professional! Everest Base Camp Trek - the life-changing journey!
Robert Liow
I did EBC on a private tour with one of my friends in December 2017. We chose Advanced Adventures because our friend couldn't recommend them enough! It turned out that they are everything our friend said and beyond! Chet and his team are highly professional! They met all our needs and all the last minute requests including the recommendation of local services, organisation of day tours in Kathmandu! We couldn't make it to Everest Base Camp & Kala Patthar without our guide, Tej Karki! He is very professional but also friendly, caring and attentive! He set the right paces for the hike, checked the water we drank and meals we ate to make sure that we wouldn't get AMS or/and food poisoning. I can't thank you guys enough! You made my trip one I will remember for the rest of my life!

Everest Trek was an Unforgettable Experience with Advanced Adventures
Alpha Guillermoa | Australia
An unforgettable experience! I decided to tackle on Everest Base Camp on a whim because I thought, why not! I am lover of the great outdoors and what better place to go to than Nepal, home to the great Himalayas.
I sought adventure, challenge and fun and it was definitely met! And even with very little preparation it was all made possible thanks to Advanced Adventures! The Himalayas is without a doubt an embodiment of all things majestic. Everywhere you looked was just one panoramic view after panoramic view of astonishing sceneries, and there were countless times I was rendered speechless by what was in front of me. Amazing, breathtaking, astounding, mesmerizing! All these words are mere understatements, and pictures do absolutely no justice, as nothing compares to actually being there in the flesh.
Being in among it all; the challenge of the pass, the beautiful mountains and landscapes, the people, their culture, the many villages and tea houses we passed through; dissolved any doubts I had in coming to Nepal. I felt safer than anywhere I had ever been being a solo female traveler.
Purna, my guide, was very professional, and had a vast knowledge of the mountains and its people. And though I went to do the trek alone, I never felt like I was as he, along with my porter Prakash, was absolutely great company. I also got to meet some awesome people along the way whom I ended up trekking with all the way to the final destination!
Purna and Prakash not only took great care of me and made me feel safe and secure, but they, together with the new friends I made, also made the trek so much fun and made my experience that much more unforgettable! To anyone thinking of undertaking this incredible feat, Advanced Adventures is the company to go with. Mr. Chet Bhatta and his fantastic team proved to be nothing but excellent and I’m so glad to have done the EBC trek with AA! Thank you so much for the adventure of a lifetime!

The trek itself was amazing and we really enjoyed the challenge of the mountain climbs !
Mr. & Mrs. Denver & Kelly Parker
The trek itself was amazing and we really enjoyed the challenge of the mountain climbs !
Ever since I was a little girl, I have always dreamed of going to Mt Everest. I wanted to use a Nepal based tour group for my visit and found Advanced Adventures via Google. I found Chet had an excellent grasp on English and he was really easy to deal with. So my husband and I made our booking and started to train… I have to admit I was nervous about someone actually being there at the airport when we arrived in Kathmandu, rather than some rogue website! But all went to plan and we were greeted at the airport by our Guide and shortly thereafter met Chet Bhatta.
From the moment we were picked up at the airport, everything ran really smoothly and any last minute questions or concerns we had were quickly put at ease. We flew in on time to Lukla airport and started the great walk. The trek itself was amazing and we really enjoyed the challenge of the mountain climbs. We made sure we did as much training as we could fit in before we left and it paid off. Our guide was Eaklal and our Sherpa was Suresh. They were excellent to deal with and we very well looked after. Most days Suresh would beat us to the next teahouse and for the whole trip we never waited for than 5 minutes for our bags to arrive. Eaklal spoke English really well and they were both more than happy to spend some free time playing some awesome Nepal card games that they taught us.
We mostly struggled with the cold. We come from sunny Qld so the temperatures as low as -20 were a bit of a shell shock. Although we knew how cold it could be, we thought that the teahouses would have fireplaces burning part of the day and night… This is not the case. Rather, most had ‘pot bellied stoves’ that we saw would only be fired up mostly between 5pm and 9pm. This is due to the limited amount of fuel ie yak dung. So it was hard to get warm once you stopped walking for the day. But the amazing people, food and scenery far outweighed and concern about being cold.
The teahouses were pleasant and the food was actually really good. It was such a good feeling to get to base camp – a big tick off the bucket list!
We had amazing weather walking up to base camp but some cloudy/foggy weather for part of the trip down. We were lucky enough to hitch a ride back to Kathmandu via a helicopter – this was truly breathtaking flying over the Himalayas in a helicopter. And this did not cost us an extra cent. I am confident this only happened because of the good relationships and reputation that Advanced Adventures have.
We will certainly be recommending to our friends to make this amazing trip and to use Advanced Adventures.
A big thank you from Kelly and Denver Parker.

We can say that booking a trek with Advanced Adventures was the best decision we ever made.

We can say that booking a trek with Advanced Adventures was the best decision we ever made.
We traveled in Nepal for the first time of our life, at 49 and 52 years old, on October 2013. Carole’s life dream was to trek to Everest Base Camp. So we looked up the internet and decided to book our trip with Advanced Adventures, a Nepal local company. We can say that it was the best decision we ever made. Chet, the executive director, was very patient and replied to all the e-mails and questions we had for him to prepare our trip.
When we arrived at the airport of Kathmandu, we were taken care of by the Advanced Adventures team. They came to get us at the airport to bring us at a very nice hotel. The meals were all included and we visited the city of Kathmandu the next day with a guide just for us. For dinner at night, Chet brought us to a restaurant for a welcome traditional meal.
But the real treat started on the second day. Our guide, Lok, came with us from the hotel to the airport to take the helicopter with us. We were lucky to have an helicopter instead of a plane he said. Probably we were lucky, but we found out during our trip that Advanced Adventures makes sure to give all the best to their clients. Our guide, Lok, was always taking care of us in all matters, from our security to our meals, teas, biscuits, lodges and we never had to pay anything more than the package we paid at the beginning. Our porter, Bisnu was also so wonderful to us. He would hurry to lodges with our heavy duffle bags, so he could come back to take our backpacks so we could climb more easily to our arrival point. We noticed during the trek that we were always getting a little more from Lok and Bisnu than other clients were getting from their guides. When we came back to Kathmandu, we had a party dinner and when we asked Chet if we could bring with some friends we made on the trek, he said: ‘’Of course they can come’’!!!
We were so spoiled from Advanced Adventures that we recommend them to everybody who want to make sure they will get the best out of a trek in the Himalayas.
Thank you again to Chet, Lok and Bisnu who helped us realized this wonderful trip and accomplishment to reach the Everest Base Camp. They certainly have a nice place in our hearths for life.

WOW! What an experience for life…
I’m so happy and proud that I did this Trip with Advanced Adventures. My friends and family were telling me, if I am crazy doing this, after all that happened here. But believe me, it is so worth it. Traveling to Nepal is so safe, or even safer than before. The trek, the people, and the lodges everything was so amazing.
Thank you so many guys for making this journey so special.
