Trip Overview
The world's highest mountain peak, Mt. Everest (8848m), is Nepal's most popular and historical trek. Experiencing the breathtaking mountain scenery along the walk is something to live for. Jiri or Phaplu to Everest is a classic route that takes less time.
The Jiri valley is also known as Switzerland of Nepal. The valley is marvelous, with 16000 population. It takes seven days to reach Everest base camp. The journey from Jiri is a gateway to Everest.

The trails pass through Dolakha, Ramechhap, and finally to Solukhumbu, a beautiful valley. Experience scenic hills and mountains, people's lifestyle, culture, and tradition. Most of the people living there are Buddhists and Kirants. Though the trek is demanding, it is an excellent experience for any physically and mentally fit traveler.
