Ama Dablam Base Camp Trek

Trip Introduction

If you are looking for a mountain adventure, this is your best choice. On another trek in the Everest region, we saw the magnificent scenery from the Himalayas to the foot of the Ama Dablam. The Sherpa people in this area attach great importance to Ama Dablam. Ama Dablam is also called “Matterhorn” by Westerners, which means “Mother’s Necklace“. The long moraines on both sides of the peak resemble a mother “Ama” protecting her child. Glacier displayed a “Dablam” necklace, a traditional double pendant with deities worn by Sherpa women.

Your trek begins in Lukla and proceeds to the Sagarmatha National Park entrance point, then to Namche Bazaar. The trail then continues to Pangboche village for a day trip to Ama Dablam Base Camp before returning to the center. The trek takes you through Phortse village, back to the Monjo exit point, and then to Lukla. Trekking to Ama Dablam Base Camp informs you about the Sherpa culture as you pass by historic sites and gompas. This trek provides us with an opportunity to get a close-up view of this elegant mountain. This is one of the best options in the Everest region for thrill-seekers looking for a memorable view of the Himalayan range of the Khumbu region as we walk past landslide trails and glaciers.

The 12 days of this trip include eight days of trekking in the Khumbu and Everest regions, leading at the base of the towering Aba Dablam. Along the way, stop at Tengboche Sherpa monastery, have lunch at Ama Dablam base camp, and acclimate at the world-famous Namche Bazaar. The trek’s difficulty level ranges from easy to moderate. The Ama Dablam Base Camp trek is ideal for those who want to see the unspoiled parts of the Everest region while also experiencing traditional Sherpa culture and mountain views. This trek is for courageous trekkers who are physically fit and have enough time to acclimate to high altitudes. This package is for anyone who wants to reach the foothills of Ama Dablam with an added flavor of exciting adventure. It is a less populated trekking route.

  • It is a trek to the summit of Ama Dablam, though several of the hills can be difficult and seemingly endless at times.
  • You’ll be on the trail for 12 days. The path can be finished in as little as 3 hours or as much as 7 hours.
  • The walk is not difficult; there is no climbing or scrambling; however, the path is rocky and hilly, ending on moraine and then on its glacier.
  • You will gain 400 to 600 meters in elevation each day while trekking. The highest point on your trek will be the Ama Dablam base camp (4,600m/15,091ft)
