The Trek itinerary involves some of the famous viewpoints and settlements like Namche Bazaar, Monasteries of Tengboche and Dingboche, and viewpoints like Gorakshep and Kala Patthar.

Makalu (8,485m), Mt. Cho Oyu (8,188m) and Mt. Kanchenjunga (8,586m).

The trek trail goes through the beautiful Jiri Valley which is also known as the Switzerland of Nepal.
The 23-day long Jiri Everest Base camp trek trail passes through iconic high-hill and sub-alpine settlements of Dolakha, Ramechap, and Solukhumbu which enables trekkers to be in close proximity to the massive high hills and mountains and be a part of the rich lifestyle and culture of the village people.

The Everest Base Camp trek via Jiri requires no expertise in mountaineering skills as it is just a long hike. People of all ages and shapes have completed this trek over the years and you can do it too.
The awe-inspiring landscape, vibrant prayer wheels, suspension bridges, dining around a fireplace, warm smiles of the natives, etc tend to make the trek worth it.
Children as young as 7 and adults over 65 have all done this trek. Steep ascents and descents and rocky paths may not be suitable for you if you have some knee problems or weak ankles. And it would be better to get a doctor consultation before heading on to this trek. If you are fit and also have some experience of trekking at high altitudes then you are fit enough to do the Everest Region trek.
The best season for the Everest Region trek is from September to early December when there is clear weather. Also, during March and May, the flowers are out and visibility is clear.
The route is relatively danger-free as the path has been widened in many places making it easier for the trekkers. The main problem is when people get Altitude sickness. Other than that, common injuries that people may face are twisted ankles and sprains. To cope with that we hire experienced guides and experts to tag along with your journey.
Of course, now the Everest Region trek has cell coverage. For charging the mobile, you should better pack some Power Banks. Some tea houses also have the facility of charging ports.
You should pack up the necessary gear for the trek and should consider how much weight you can lift for the trek. You can also read blogs about the trek and learn about the experiences of other people before you go on to the trek. We at Team Himalaya will make sure you are well-prepared as well.
Many People having families with children have completed this trek. But it is unwise to take children who don’t obey their parents or can’t talk properly about the early symptoms of altitude sickness.
Yes, it would be wise if you brought some dry foods, and power snack bars with you since buying snacks on the trail can be pretty expensive.
The accommodations are quite nice considering the elevation. During the peak time, our guide will help in pre-booking your rooms.
In the lower villages, you can find tea houses with 24/7 power. But as the elevation goes higher, teahouses are dependent on solar only so, you might not have the chance to charge your mobile. So, we suggest you carry lightweight solar power banks.
Drinking at least 4 liters of water a day is a must for this trek. So, you should purify all your drinking water with purifying tablets. And it is better to carry a thermos flask for boiling water which is provided to you in tea houses.

During these months the skies are clear and you can have a splendid panorama view of the mountains. If you are a snow lover, then this might be the chance for you to experience it first-hand.
We can provide you with travel insurance but, it would be better for you to get your travel insurance done in your own country. We provide full insurance to our guides and other staff.
Yes, you should let us know beforehand since we need to adjust the itinerary according to your needs. Mostly our packages are flexible so you should not worry about getting the trek extended.
Since June, July, and August fall during the Monsoon Season, the paths are slippery and less relevant for hiking. The skies may not be clear, but you can find beautiful flora and fauna during the trek.
