Count the day to travel 188 km by car.Jiri's approach is an average mountain hike, which crosses several north-south valleys laterally and crosses them at the price of a fairly large difference that is an excellent acclimation at altitude. The circuit proposed below is a variant of the classic approach. It allows you to discover the Solu, the lower Sherpas valley where a river flows from a small glacial lake located at the foot of Numbur and Du, two peaks of about 7 000 m that rise north.
