The trek to Everest Base Camp is by far the most popular trek in the region and with good reason. The other trekking options in the region are a great way to escape the crowds and also offer something unique. The route in from Jiri gives you a taste of the lowlands and what trekking must have been like in Nepal when the first expeditions arrived. The Gokyo to Renjo La Pass trek is a newly opened route featuring great views of Everest and Cho Oyo.
