The trek from Jiri is almost forgotten, due to Lukla airport where most
trekkers enjoys short flight from Kathmandu to Lukla. The trekkers using
the old classic route to Everest base camp are quite few, compared to
visitors flying in at Lukla. But slowly the Jiri trek is gaining popular among those people, who enjoys quiet walk, away from mainstream trails.
At present motorable road has extended from Jiri as far to Khari-Khola village, but quite a drive on steep hilly areas. The drive with too much of bumpy journey, where one can feel tired before starting the trek. The itinerary we have designed
is the best with flexible walks and having rest days, where needed.
