Jiri to Lukla

The trek from Jiri to Lukla takes an average of seven days and gives good preparation for

the Everest Base Camp Trek . It is never flat as it crosses the grain of the land for the first five days. The highest point reached before Lukla is Lamjura La pass, which is at 3530 meters above sea level. A highlight of the area around the Lamjura La is the magnificent display of pink and lilac rhododendrons in spring.

The trek passes through parts of Solukhumbu that are relatively undeveloped compared with the northern part of the district around Namche Bazar. This enables trekkers to experience many traditional aspects of the culture of the local people that are less easy to see above Lukla. The trail passes through numerous settlements of different ethnic groups including SherpaTamang, Jirel, Rai, Brahmin and The trail is well serviced, with trekking teahouse and good campsites in most of the settlements. Starting trekking from Jiri the nights halts will most likely be at the villages of Deurali, Kenja, Sete, Lamjura, Junbesi, Tragsindho, Khari Khola and Surkhe (below Lukla). The most interesting of these stops is probably Junbesi, the oldest Sherpa settlement in Solu. An extra day spent here will be time well spent.The main points of interest are the monastery of Thupten Chholing, about one hour above Junbesi and the villages of Mabung and Pangkarma which are en route to the monastery. The monastic school at Phungmoche, an hour above Thupten Chholing is also worth visiting and can offer Buddies Culture ceremony.

Below the pass at Tragsindho to the trail falls over 1500 meters to cross the Dudh Kosi. Here it follows the river and joins the main trail to Everest Base Camp below Lukla.
