Ama Dablam Base Camp Trek

We welcome you at Tribhuvan International Airport and transfer you to your hotel. Later, our team conducts a pre-trek briefing to check your gear, discuss safety protocols, and collect your documentation.

We board an early morning mountain flight to Tenzing-Hillary Airport in Lukla at 2,860 m. From there, we begin our gentle descent alongside the Dudh Koshi River, passing small hamlets and prayer wheels until we reach Phakding at 2,610 m.

Our trail follows the river valley, crossing several suspension bridges before we begin the long, steep climb up to Namche Bazaar. We enter Sagarmatha National Park at Monjo along the way and catch our first glimpses of Everest as we approach the commercial hub of the Khumbu at 3,440 m.

We spend today letting our bodies adjust to the elevation by hiking up to the Everest View Hotel at 3,880 m. This high-altitude walk provides clear vistas of Ama Dablam, Thamserku, and Everest before we return to Namche for the afternoon.

We leave the main Everest Base Camp trail behind and contour along the hillside toward Phortse Village at 3,810 m. The path winds through alpine forests and past terraced fields, offering a quieter route beneath towering peaks.

We traverse high-altitude terrain above the river, descending toward a bridge before climbing steadily to Pangboche at 3,930 m. This ancient settlement offers close views of Thamserku and the distant Tengboche Monastery.

We make our primary push to Ama Dablam Base Camp at 4,600 m. The trail climbs steadily through open alpine meadows and rocky terrain, bringing us directly to the foot of the mountain's dramatic southwest face for an overnight stay.

We retrace our steps down the valley, descending past alpine scrub and crossing glacial streams before climbing up to Tengboche. We settle near the monastery grounds to watch the evening light hit the surrounding peaks.

We descend through pine and rhododendron forests to cross the Dudh Koshi, then make the familiar uphill pull back into Namche Bazaar. We celebrate our final night in the high mountains among the bustling market streets.

We make our final long descent down the valley, crossing suspension bridges over rushing rivers and passing through Monjo and Phakding. Our final stretch brings us back to Lukla for our last evening with our porters and guides.

We catch an early morning flight from Lukla back to Kathmandu or Ramechhap, followed by a private transfer to your hotel. The rest of the day is yours to rest or explore the city.

We provide a private transfer to Tribhuvan International Airport for your international flight home, concluding our service.
