Jiri - Everest Base Camp – Cho La Pass Trek as the closest road-head, Jiri is now the trail head for many treks into the Everest region. It is longest and partly tough trekking route. Only 5 % of dare-devil trekkers attempt the difficult yet the 'most rewarding' trek to Everest Base Camp from Jiri. The other 95% choose to fly into the small airstrip at Lukla, thus cutting off a week of difficult but beautiful trekking. The trail head from Jiri into 'Sagarmatha National Park' is referred as the 'classic route to Everest'. All early Everest expeditions—including the one led by John Hunt that put Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary on the summit—passed through Jiri. So Jiri is also called the "Gateway to Mt. Everest".
Flight notice from Lukla
