Jiri Town in Nepal and Summit Of everest

Jiri (जिरी) is town in Dolakha District in the of north-eastern Nepal. At the time of the 1991 Nepal census it had a population of 7138 people residing in 1508 individual households. Jiri lies at an altitude of 1,905 metres (6,250 feet) and is the eastern-most terminus of the highway coming from Kathmandu.Jiri is said to have established in 1938 by the Swiss. The name "Jiri" actually came from the city Zurich in Switzerland.As the closest roadhead, Jiri is now the trailhead for many treks into the Mount Everest region. The trek to Lukla will take seven or eight days. Few people actually begin a trek from Jiri anymore, as only 5% of all trekkers who attempt the difficult trek to Everest Base Camp start at Jiri. The other 95% choose to fly into the small airstrip at Lukla, thus cutting off a week of difficult but beautiful trekking.

From the central summit of Mt Everest it is approximately around 73.8 Kms away

Although the trailhead from Jiri into Sagarmatha National Park is referred to as the "classic route to Everest", the original trailhead actually began at Kathmandu. All early Everest expeditions—including the one led by John Hunt that put Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary on the summit—passed through Jiri. So Jiri is also called the "Gateway to Mt. Everest".

Jiri is the home of an ethnic group called the Jirels.
