Trip Overview
Everest Base Camp Trek from Jiri is among the most classic and most rewarding journeys to the world’s highest peak that follows the footsteps of the legendary climbers Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay. The first expedition mission was attempted from this route to the Everest. This trek begins in the lower Solu region, unlike the regular short Lukla route. We will pass the lush terraced fields, dense forests, and stark alpine lines above the Everest Base Camp through the mighty Khumbu glaciers.
This glorifying adventure will take us through the traditional settlements of lower Solu, like Sete, Junbesi, before joining the major trail at Chheplung. The route will ascend gradually towards Namche Bazaar and will continue through the regular route of Everest Base Camp, traversing Tengboche, Lobuche, and Dingboche.
The major attraction of this trek is the ultimate destination of Everest Base Camp and a sunrise hike to view the most iconic panoramic shapes of Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, and surrounding peaks from Kala Patthar. We will have an epic adventure while immersing in the local Sherpa Culture in the higher regions and the Tamang, Rai along the lower Solu region throughout the trek.

Anna ISep 2026
Great Trek to ABC
I completed the Annapurna Base Camp and Poon Hill trek with my partner through Peaceful Nepal in May 2026 and had an amazing time! Bishnu was an amazing guide throughout the experience, organising everything and answering all our questions. He was able to change our itinerary on the trek to suit our walking pace and the conditions each day. Bishnu handled all the logistics throughout the trip, including airport pickup, transfers to Pokhara and our bus to Chitwan after, and accomodation. All accomodation we stayed at was pleasant and clean. The trek itself was also amazing! Would definitely recommend both ABC and Peaceful Nepal.

Excellent ABC experience
I have just completed the Annapurna Base Camp trek and would like to sincerely thank my guide, Som Giri, and my porter, Nepal Giri, for making this 6-day journey such a wonderful and memorable experience.Som Giri was an excellent guide — highly professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly caring throughout the trek. He always paid close attention to my pace, health, and comfort, and shared valuable insights about the mountains, local culture, and daily trekking routes. His calm attitude and experience gave me great confidence and peace of mind every day.Nepal Giri was equally outstanding. He was strong, reliable, and always smiling, even on the most challenging sections of the trail. His support and positive energy truly made a big difference, and I felt well taken care of during the entire journey.Both Som Giri and Nepal Giri went above and beyond their duties, showing genuine care, teamwork, and professionalism. I really appreciated having fruit every day, which made a big difference…

Langtang Trek
I had an unforgettable 7-day trek through the Langtang Valley, climbing all the way up to Tserko Ri at 4,985 meters. Really enjoyed the snow-capped mountains, lush green forests, countless waterfalls and incredible wildlife (if you’re lucky you might spot a rare red panda) throughout the trek. Huge thanks to my guide Bishnu from Peaceful Nepal Treks and Tours. His deep knowledge of every trail, wildflowers and wildlife along the way made this adventure truly special.
My partner and I did the Annapurna Base Camp Trek with Peaceful Treks and it was an amazing experience!! Bishnu was great to plan with, accomodating our requests for an extra day in Kathmandu at the start and always replying to any requests we had promptly.When we started hiking Bishnu was flexible with the itinerary to allow us to go at the pace we wanted to walk. He always checked in and had some fun facts about Annapurna and Nepal in general and it was great getting to know him.Overall it was an amazing experience and I would definitely recommend Peaceful Treks.Also Bishnu made sure to grab some pics and sent them to us after, see attached :)
