Overview
We take you to the heart of Everest, the Everest Base Camp Trek. The route is an old-fashioned one. Who wishes to travel to see an iconic mountain through the highway? Why not join in even one-way via drive? This is an alternative way to reach Everest Base Camp. Yes! Travelers have different choices, so we have designed this tour to make our trip a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The trek starts from Kathmandu to Jiri on our private transportation, which will depend on the size of the group. The tour passes through hilly terraced areas of field, many zigzag ways, waterfalls, and some of the gradually disappearing flora and fauna. That is the specific section of the trek that is followed by the rural lifestyle of the people.
When we drive to Jiri, we are going to be so close to the snow-capped mountains in the distance that we feel like we are already there. We go by the many hilly small settlements of villages and the continuously flowing Sunkoshi River alongside. That is the most beautiful part of the journey from Kathmandu to Jiri’s Everest Base Camp Trek. When we drive our way further, we are witnessing an amazing and extra-biodiversity of terrain that is quite beautiful and romantic. We will not miss out on the opportunities that we want to seize.
The route passes from beautiful hilly life to mountain life, and many of our routes are amidst them. That is a particularly beautiful section of the journey to become familiar with. When we enter the Everest Region, we find many other trekking destinations that go from there. So our goal is to be at Everest Base Camp. This section of our trek features beautiful Himalayan mountain ranges, many suspension bridges, up-and-down routes, and is rich in flora and fauna.
