Trekking From Jiri - Namche Bazaar-Everest base camp
Jiri is a hill town which is 180 kms north -east of Kathmandu. It takes 8 days from here to reach Lukla. This is an interesting route because the summit of Lamjura Pass (3400m) provides a tempting views of Makalu, Gaurishankar, Everest, Lhotse plus a rout through rhododendron forest that blooms in March -April. You can visit the popular monastery above the beautiful village of Junbesi and learn about Buddhist and Sherpa and Rai culture along the way. The trails in this area are less busy and crowded with trekkers than the route above Lukla. The villages are also less affected by tourism than those higher up in the Khumbu.. The longest trek Jiri -Namche- Gokyo - Chola-Base-camp - Imja valley to Chukhung and back to Jiri usually takes 31 days. Flying out from Lukla is possible and would reduce the time required.
