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.
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.
As you trek, you’ll encounter several cultural and natural highlights that make the experience memorable. Visit ancient monasteries, such as the renowned Tengboche Monastery, where you can soak in the spiritual atmosphere and admire stunning views of Ama Dablam.
