This trail takes hikers and mountaineers across streams and through rocky and sandy landscapes with surrounding views of the Himalaya. I loved walking between the mountains and experiencing a "quieter" version of the Khumbu region, less traveled than the EBC trek itself. Yak and wildlife were plentiful in June. At the end, a short climb up the slope south of base camp reveals Imja Tse lake.
Amazing trail and memories!!!
Did this trek from Jiri-Gokyo-Chukung Ri and back to Lukla in Oct-Nov 2013. It changed my life

Amazing
Flew from Kathmandu to the Lukla Airport, where we began our trek -- three adults (aged 50-60) and 23-year old. Hiked to both Kala Pattar (views!) and Everest Base Camp. Make sure to acclimitize and watch out for altitude sickness. Primative lodging and lots of available food (daal, bhaat) along the way.
Best place in earth..beautiful mountain view, all the way to everet basecamp
I was up in the Everest Region immediately on the 27th of April which was two days after the first earthquake. Some damage has been done to the tea houses and minor landslides crossed the trail. The second earthquake on the 12th of May caused more damage. Despite the damage repair work is underway on the trail and enough of the tea houses are operational that trekking will be good for next season.
This was my first hiking and it was just awesome. Took us about 2 weeks to get up the base camp and return. It was just the start of the season in 2007 and was pretty empty. The trail was not as hard as I thought it would be. Made a couple detours on the way to nearby villages. Would recommend to take this hike once in a lifetime.
