Ama Dablam Base Camp Trek Overview

The Ama Dablam Base Camp trek is ideal for all ages and beginners. Your adventure starts in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, where you can explore the city during your free time before your trek. From Kathmandu, we either fly or drive to Phaplu. From there, we follow the classic Everest Base Camp route, passing through Namche Bazaar and Tengboche Monastery. After Tengboche, we veer off the main trail towards Pangboche and ultimately reach Ama Dablam Base Camp at 4,600 meters.

Unique Trekking Experience

This trek offers a diverse experience in the Everest region, culminating in a quieter route to Ama Dablam Base Camp. Fewer trekkers choose this path, making it a unique journey. The trek is also beginner-friendly, featuring manageable daily hikes and moderate altitude gains, ensuring comfort for those new to high-altitude trekking. Along the way, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of majestic peaks, lush valleys, and the rich culture of the Sherpa people, enhancing the journey’s appeal.

You’ll also have the opportunity to interact with local Sherpa communities, learning about their traditions and way of life. The landscape transforms dramatically as you ascend, shifting from lush green forests to alpine meadows, offering a visually captivating trekking experience.

2. Day
Fly from Kathmandu to Phaplu, then embark on a scenic trek to Ringmo

After your breakfast at the lodge, embark on a scenic morning flight to Phaplu (2,460 m / 8,071 ft.), the gateway to the Everest region. The flight to Phaplu offers breathtaking aerial views of the majestic Himalayan range. Upon landing, begin your trek toward Ringmu (2,720 m / 8,924 ft.), a charming Sherpa village nestled in the foothills. The trek covers about 8 kilometers and takes approximately 3.5 hours. During this journey, you will ascend 300 meters and descend zero meters.

As you make your way through pine and rhododendron forests, enjoy the serene natural beauty and occasional glimpses of snow-capped peaks in the distance. The trail is relatively easy, providing a comfortable introduction to trekking in the Solu region. You’ll pass through small hamlets, observing the lifestyle of local Sherpa communities.

Upon reaching Ringmu, settle into a cozy teahouse for the night. In the evening, you can explore the village or relax and enjoy a hearty meal, preparing for the longer trekking days ahead.

The trek covers about 16 kilometers and takes approximately 6 hours. During this journey, you will ascend 530 meters and descend 1,600 meters, making it a balanced mix of climbing and descent. The trail begins with a steady ascent toward the Taksindu La Pass, which offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding valleys and distant peaks. On clear days, you may catch your first glimpse of Mount Everest. As you approach the pass, the beauty of the highlands and the surrounding ridges become more vivid, offering excellent photo opportunities.
