Altitude Sickness and Acclimatisation:

Altitude sickness is common among hikers in Nepal's Himalayan Region. It happens when the body doesn't get enough oxygen at higher elevations, causing headaches and dizziness. Acclimatisation is essential to prevent this. It means gradually getting used to higher altitudes by resting, drinking fluids, and ascending slowly. Spending an extra day at lower elevations before going higher is the best way to avoid altitude sickness. Hydration is the main issue during trekking to prevent dehydration, which can worsen altitude sickness. Drinking plenty of water, tea, and soup can help. Trekkers can also take medicines like acetazolamide or dexamethasone to relieve symptoms, but it's best to consult a doctor first. Proper acclimatization techniques, like "climb high, sleep low," and staying hydrated, can reduce the risk of altitude sickness. Booking with an experienced guide can ensure you get the right advice and help during your trek.

History of Lukla airport:

The airport's location makes it one of the world's most dangerous, with a short runway on a steep slope that makes it challenging for pilots.

In case of flight cancellations, options include helicopter flights or ground transportation, though this may extend your itinerary. Book flights in advance, during peak seasons, to ensure availability.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Everest Base Camp Trek via Jiri is one of the most classic and scenic trekking routes in Nepal, following in the footsteps of Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay on their original 1953 Everest expedition. Unlike the standard fly-in route to Lukla, this journey begins with a scenic overland drive from Kathmandu to Jiri, followed by a gradual ascent through lush mid-hill landscapes, terraced farms, and traditional Sherpa villages. Asiana Treks & Tours offers this route for those seeking a more immersive, off-the-beaten-path experience. It combines rich cultural interaction, stunning mountain views, and a gradual acclimatization process, culminating at Everest Base Camp (5,364 meters) and Kala Patthar (5,545 meters) for the best views of Mount Everest.

This is one of the longest Everest treks, typically requiring 21 to 24 days depending on rest and acclimatization days. The route follows Jiri to Lukla on foot (taking about 7–9 days), and then continues on the standard Everest Base Camp trail through Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, Dingboche, Lobuche, and Gorak Shep. Asiana Treks & Tours offers a thoughtfully designed itinerary that balances physical challenge with cultural exploration, and includes rest days for altitude adjustment to ensure safety and comfort.

This trek is rated moderate to strenuous, due to its extended duration and the numerous ascents and descents in the first week from Jiri to Lukla. The trail is physically demanding, especially as it progresses into high-altitude terrain. However, the gradual gain in elevation actually reduces the risk of altitude sickness compared to the fly-in route. A good level of fitness and mental preparation is essential. Asiana Treks & Tours recommends this route for experienced trekkers or those who enjoy long-distance hikes in rugged terrain.

Accommodation throughout the trek is provided in tea houses or guesthouses, which are simple but comfortable and run by local families. These offer twin-sharing rooms, warm blankets, and shared toilets. Meals are wholesome and plentiful, including options like dal bhat, noodles, soup, pasta, vegetables, rice, and eggs. Asiana Treks & Tours ensures hygienic dining and adequate meals throughout the trek, with options for vegetarians and dietary restrictions upon request.

The best seasons for the Jiri to Everest Base Camp trek are spring (March to May) and autumn (mid-September to November). These periods offer clear skies, moderate temperatures, and excellent visibility of the Himalayan peaks. While trekking is possible in winter (December to February), colder conditions and snow at higher elevations can increase the challenge. Monsoon season (June to August) is not ideal due to muddy trails and limited views.

Yes, altitude sickness is a potential risk once trekkers reach above 3,000 meters. However, the gradual ascent from Jiri provides one of the best natural acclimatization processes. Asiana Treks & Tours includes acclimatization days at key points like Namche Bazaar and Dingboche. Experienced guides monitor each trekker’s condition and carry a basic medical kit. In case of emergencies, arrangements for helicopter evacuation are available. Drinking plenty of water, walking at a steady pace, and avoiding alcohol are essential preventive measures.

Trekkers need the Sagarmatha National Park Entry Permit, the Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality Permit, and in some cases a TIMS (Trekkers’ Information Management System) Card. Asiana Treks & Tours takes care of all permit arrangements as part of the trek package, ensuring clients can focus on the adventure without dealing with paperwork.

The comprehensive trekking package by Asiana Treks & Tours includes ground transportation from Kathmandu to Jiri, all necessary permits, accommodation and meals during the trek, services of an experienced English-speaking guide and porters, and airport transfers. The package also covers assistance in case of medical emergencies. Personal travel insurance, international flights, snacks, and trekking gear are not included unless requested as part of a custom package.

Yes, this trek is suitable for solo adventurers, couples, and small groups. Asiana Treks & Tours offers both private departures and group join-in options, depending on your preference. Solo travelers are paired with experienced guides and can request additional porters if needed. Group treks are a great way to meet fellow adventurers and share the journey.

Choosing the Jiri route provides a more authentic and less crowded trekking experience. It gives you deeper insight into rural Nepali life, more time for acclimatization, and a richer sense of achievement. While it requires more time and effort, many trekkers consider it more rewarding and scenic. Asiana Treks & Tours supports this route to encourage sustainable tourism in lesser-visited areas and to preserve the spirit of the original Everest expeditions.

The Everest Panorama Trek usually takes 7 to 10 days, depending on your chosen itinerary and pace. After a short flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, the trek continues through Phakding and Namche Bazaar, where an acclimatization day is included. From there, trekkers head to the famous Tengboche Monastery, a spiritual center with panoramic views of Everest and Ama Dablam. The return follows the same route, making it a round trip back to Lukla. Asiana Treks & Tours offers flexible itinerary options and can tailor the trip to individual needs.

Accommodations are in local tea houses or mountain lodges, which are clean, cozy, and often family-run. Rooms are usually twin-sharing with shared bathrooms. Meals are nutritious and plentiful, with options including dal bhat (Nepali staple), noodles, pasta, soup, vegetables, eggs, pancakes, and more. Asiana Treks & Tours ensures guests receive three meals a day, along with tea or coffee, and can accommodate vegetarian or special dietary needs upon request.

The best time for this trek is during spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November), when the weather is clear and the mountain views are at their best. These seasons also offer pleasant daytime temperatures and blooming rhododendron forests in spring. The trek can also be done in winter (December to February), although it will be colder. Monsoon season (June to August) is less ideal due to rainfall and cloudy skies.

Since the Everest Panorama Trek does not go above 3,860 meters, the risk of serious altitude sickness is quite low. However, Asiana Treks & Tours still includes a rest and acclimatization day at Namche Bazaar and encourages trekkers to stay hydrated and walk at a steady pace. Guides are trained to monitor guests and manage any symptoms that may arise.

Trekkers need a Sagarmatha National Park Entry Permit and a Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality Permit. Asiana Treks & Tours takes care of all permit arrangements as part of the trekking package, so you don’t need to worry about paperwork.

The package includes round-trip domestic flights (Kathmandu–Lukla–Kathmandu), accommodation in lodges during the trek, all meals with tea or coffee, a licensed English-speaking guide, porters to carry luggage, permits, and ground transportation where applicable. Asiana Treks & Tours ensures excellent logistics, safety, and personal attention throughout the journey. Personal expenses, travel insurance, and gear rental are not included but can be arranged upon request.

Types of Accommodation on the Everest Base Camp Trekking via Jiri

During the Everest Base Camp trek via Jiri, trekkers primarily stay in traditional teahouses, which are small lodges run by local families. These teahouses provide basic yet comfortable accommodation, typically including a warm room with simple beds, shared bathrooms, and common dining areas. While the facilities may be modest compared to urban hotels, the experience offers authentic hospitality and a chance to interact with Sherpa and other local communities along the trail. Some teahouses have cozy fireplaces and solar-powered lighting, adding warmth and charm after a long day of trekking.

In more developed villages like Namche Bazaar, trekkers can find slightly more modern lodges with better amenities, such as hot showers and charging facilities for electronics.

Many teahouses also serve international dishes like pasta, fried rice, and omelets to cater to varied tastes.
