Highlights

Overview

The Ama Dablam Base Camp Trek is a breathtaking 13-day adventure offered by Asiana Treks and Tours, guiding you deep into the heart of the Khumbu region of Nepal. Known as the "Matterhorn of the Himalayas," Ama Dablam stands tall at 6,812 meters, its dramatic ridges and hanging glaciers captivating trekkers and climbers alike. This trek is perfect for those seeking awe-inspiring alpine beauty combined with deep cultural immersion.
Your journey begins in Kathmandu, where the vibrant streets and ancient heritage sites set the tone for the adventure ahead. From a scenic mountain flight into Lukla to walking through lush pine forests, crossing suspension bridges, and exploring high-altitude Sherpa villages, every step reveals something new. Unlike the busier Everest Base Camp route, this trail offers a quieter, more serene alternative, bringing you close to Himalayan giants like Everest, Lhotse, Thamserku, and of course, the majestic Ama Dablam. Along the way, you'll visit spiritual monasteries, acclimate in famous towns like Namche Bazaar, and culminate your journey at the peaceful Ama Dablam Base Camp, nestled at 5,120 meters above sea level.

Ama Dablam Base Camp Trek Altitude Guide:

Your Day-by-Day Elevation Gain with Asiana Treks and Tours
Altitude is a critical factor in any Himalayan trek, and the Ama Dablam Base Camp Trek reaches impressive heights. The trek starts at Lukla (2,840m) and reaches its highest point at Ama Dablam Base Camp (5,120m) on Day 8. Each day brings a steady elevation gain, allowing the body to gradually acclimatise. For instance, Namche Bazaar (3,440m) is a vital acclimatisation stop on Day 4, offering hikes to higher elevations like the Everest View Hotel to prepare your lungs and legs for the days ahead.
As you ascend through Tengboche (3,867m) and Pangboche (3,985m), you’ll begin to feel the thinning air—but our itinerary is designed to help you adapt safely. The hike to Ama Dablam Base Camp itself is done as a day excursion from Pangboche, ensuring that you gain the elevation and descend the same day to sleep lower—an ideal method for avoiding altitude sickness. With Asiana Treks and Tours, you’ll receive professional guidance on altitude awareness, hydration strategies, and how to pace yourself for success.

Why Choose the Ama Dablam Base Camp Trek?

An Iconic, Less-Crowded Alternative with Asiana Treks and Tours
The Ama Dablam Base Camp Trek is perfect for trekkers who crave stunning Himalayan landscapes but prefer a quieter, more authentic experience than the popular Everest Base Camp route. With Asiana Treks and Tours, you’ll explore serene trails, centuries-old monasteries, and traditional Sherpa villages untouched by heavy tourism. The scenery is spectacular: soaring peaks like Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, and Ama Dablam dominate the skyline, while rhododendron forests and glacial rivers line your path.

What truly sets this trek apart is the approach to Ama Dablam Base Camp itself, where few venture. Standing at the foot of this sharply ridged mountain, you’re rewarded with a close-up experience that most Everest trekkers miss. Combine this with the spiritual aura of Tengboche Monastery, the lively markets of Namche Bazaar, and the peaceful environment of Pangboche, and you have a trek that delivers cultural richness, adventure, and solitude. Guided by our experienced team, this journey becomes more than just a trek—it becomes a transformative Himalayan experience.

Preparing for the Ama Dablam Base Camp Trek:


Expert Tips from Asiana Treks and Tours: Preparing for the Ama Dablam Base Camp Trek involves physical readiness, proper gear, and mental preparation. While this is a moderately complex trek, it still requires good cardiovascular fitness, strong legs, and endurance. We recommend a 3–4 month training plan before your departure, including hiking with a backpack, stair climbing, running, or cycling. Altitude training, if available, is a plus—but consistent hiking with elevation gain is your best preparation.

On the gear front, Asiana Treks and Tours provides a detailed packing list, and we also offer gear rental services in Kathmandu for items like down jackets, sleeping bags, and trekking poles. Essentials include sturdy trekking boots, moisture-wicking layers, windproof jackets, and sun protection. Mentally, expect early starts, rustic accommodations, and limited connectivity—but also breathtaking sunrises, spiritual serenity, and life-affirming landscapes. Our guides ensure that you’re supported every step of the way, both physically and emotionally, so your preparation is met with expert care once you’re on the trail.

What to Expect on the Ama Dablam Base Camp Trek With Asiana Treks and  Tours:


Embarking on the Ama Dablam Base Camp Trek with Asiana Treks and Tours is more than just a physical journey—it’s a cultural, spiritual, and scenic immersion into one of the world’s most spectacular mountain regions. Over 12–13 active trekking days, expect a balanced mix of challenging ascents, relaxed rest stops, and vibrant encounters with the Sherpa way of life. The trek begins with a dramatic flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, one of the world’s most thrilling airstrips, before transitioning into days of scenic walking through alpine forests, prayer-flag-lined trails, and rhododendron groves.

As you ascend from Phakding to Namche Bazaar and onward to Tengboche and Pangboche, the landscape becomes increasingly dramatic. You’ll be walking beneath the shadows of Himalayan giants like Ama Dablam, Everest, Lhotse, and Thamserku. Tea houses offer warm meals and cosy accommodations, while ancient monasteries and yak pastures provide spiritual and cultural texture. The ultimate highlight is the day hike to Ama Dablam Base Camp (5,120m), offering panoramic views and a sense of awe as you stand beneath one of the Himalaya’s most iconic peaks. Expect early mornings, cool mountain air, incredible sunrises, and the satisfaction of trekking in a more peaceful alternative to the crowded Everest Base Camp trail.

Oxygen Levels on the Ama Dablam Base Camp Trek Trail:


Understanding High-Altitude Conditions and  Altitude and oxygen levels is an essential part of the Ama Dablam Base Camp Trek experience. The trek begins at Lukla (2,840 meters), where oxygen levels are roughly 72% of what you’d find at sea level. As you ascend gradually to Namche Bazaar (3,440m) and Tengboche (3,867m), your body has time to adjust to the thinner air. Proper acclimatisation is essential, and that’s why Asiana Treks and Tours has designed a carefully paced itinerary with a dedicated acclimatisation day in Namche.
By the time you reach Ama Dablam Base Camp at 5,120 meters, oxygen levels drop to approximately 50% of sea-level oxygen. While this may sound drastic, our guided approach, including hydration, rest, and altitude education, ensures most trekkers adapt comfortably. The trek to base camp is done as a day hike from Pangboche, which means you descend after reaching the high point—one of the best ways to minimise altitude-related issues. Our guides are trained in altitude sickness prevention and carry medical kits and oximeters, ensuring your safety while enjoying the breathtaking high-altitude terrain.

Major Villages and Scenic Viewpoints on the Ama Dablam Base Camp Trekking Route:


Cultural Highlights and Natural Marvels with Ama Dablam Base Camp Trek is rich in cultural heritage and visual splendour. Each village along the trail tells a story and offers unique opportunities for interaction, rest, and exploration. Namche Bazaar, the largest Sherpa town in the region, is not just a trading hub but also a cultural experience—with bakeries, museums, and mountain markets perched on a terraced hillside with views of Everest. Tengboche, home to the renowned Tengboche Monastery, provides one of the most spiritual and scenic stops, offering views of Ama Dablam framed perfectly in the distance during morning prayers.

Further along, Pangboche—the highest permanent settlement on the route—is a historical village that holds one of the oldest monasteries in the Khumbu region. From here, the trail to Ama Dablam Base Camp opens up into raw Himalayan wilderness. Along the trek, there are several unforgettable viewpoints: the Everest View Hotel near Namche, the Dudh Koshi River Valley, and the ridges above Mong Danda offer 360-degree panoramas of the Everest range. These natural balconies allow you to stop, breathe, and absorb the vastness of the Himalayan landscape in a way that feels both personal and awe-inspiring.

Flora and Fauna of the Ama Dablam Base Camp Trek:


Natural Biodiversity of the Khumbu Region with Ama Dablam Base Camp Trek passes through a stunning range of ecological zones—from temperate forests to alpine tundra—making it a dream for nature lovers. In the lower elevations near Lukla and Phakding, you’ll walk through dense forests of pine, fir, juniper, and rhododendron, especially colourful in spring. These forests are home to Himalayan birds such as the Danphe (Nepal’s national bird), blood pheasants, and impeyan pheasants, whose vibrant feathers flash between branches as you hike.

As you gain altitude, the vegetation thins, and the alpine landscape emerges. In the high meadows and rocky outcrops near Pangboche and Ama Dablam Base Camp, you'll find dwarf shrubs, mosses, and rare mountain herbs that have adapted to the harsh climate. Wildlife sightings include Himalayan tahrs, musk deer, marmots, and even the elusive snow leopard in sporadic cases. The higher trails are also visited by yak caravans, vital to the livelihoods of local Sherpas. Trekking with Asiana Treks and Tours, you’ll not only see this incredible biodiversity but also gain insights from our guides, who share local knowledge about the plants, animals, and ecosystems that make the Khumbu region so unique.

Festivals and Local Culture Along the Ama Dablam Base Camp Trek Route:


Experience Sherpa Heritage in Ama Dablam Base Camp with Asiana Treks and Tours is more than just a walk through mountains—it's a journey through the rich cultural heartland of the Sherpa people. The trail passes through some of the most culturally significant villages in the Everest region, including Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, Pangboche, and Khunde. These villages are alive with tradition, spirituality, and unique Himalayan customs that have been preserved for generations.

The region is known for its colourful festivals, which you may be lucky to witness depending on your trekking dates. The Mani Rimdu Festival, celebrated at Tengboche Monastery in October or November, is the most famous. It includes sacred masked dances performed by monks, symbolising the victory of Buddhism over evil. Another festival, Dumje, is celebrated in the summer and honours Guru Rinpoche with prayer rituals, music, and village gatherings. These festivals are not tourist shows—they are authentic cultural expressions, offering a deep insight into Sherpa life.

Cultural Highlights on the Ama Dablam Basecamp Trek:


  • Tengboche Monastery: Largest in the Khumbu region; spiritual centre of Sherpas
  • Pangboche Monastery: Oldest monastery in the Everest area
  • Namche Bazaar: Cultural hub with local markets, Sherpa Museum, and Tibetan traders
  • Prayer flags, mani stones, and chortens: Found throughout the trail as signs of spiritual practice
  • Warm Sherpa hospitality: Experience homestays and tea house traditions

Trip Itinerary

Day 1 : Kathmandu – Lukla – Phakding (4-5 Hour)

Start your adventure with an early morning scenic flight to Lukla, the gateway to Everest trekking. In the off-season, flights operate directly from Kathmandu to Lukla, offering breathtaking Himalayan views. During peak season, flights often depart from Ramechhap, with a drive required from Kathmandu beforehand.

After landing at Lukla Airport, take a moment to prepare for your trek to Phakding. Present your TIMS card at Lukla, then follow a gradual descent through lush greenery towards Thadokoshi. The trail continues with mostly flat sections, passing charming Sherpa villages like Ghat, and following the banks of the Dudh Koshi River.

Enjoy picturesque views, fluttering prayer flags, and the serene sound of the river as you walk. After around four hours of gentle uphill and downhill trekking along the Everest Base Camp trail, you’ll arrive in Phakding for an overnight stay at a cosy tea house.

Day 2 : Phakding – Namche (6 Hours)

After breakfast today, we begin our trek uphill towards Namche, Sherpa Cipatel. Along the way, following the Dudhkoshi River, we cross several suspension bridges, Sherpa villages and traverse a picturesque landscape, passing by Sherpa settlements with yaks, prayer flags, a mani wall, a mani stone, a monastery, and glimpses of the Dudhkoshi River. We crossed suspension bridges over the Dudh Koshi to reach Taktoor and Banker villages, and then continued to Manjo. After entering the National Park at Jorshale and checking permits, we constantly hiked following the Big Boulder painted by a Buddhist Mantra, and Dudh Koshi River again. Ascending through zigzag trails and pine forests, we crossed two suspension bridges, including the Hillary Bridge. We continued ascending via zigzag trail and serene pine forest before reaching Tup Dhara for our first view of Mt. Everest. Finally, we reached Namche Bazaar, where the police checked our permits. After a constant half an hour, we arrived at Namche Bazaar, where we spent two nights at the same guest house.

Day 3 : Acclimatisation Day at Namche (4-5 Hours)

Today is our rest and easy day, with much to see and do in Namche. We are already 3,440 meters above sea level, so it's important to acclimate to the high-altitude atmosphere. Enjoy a relaxed breakfast, then take a 20-minute uphill walk to the Sherpa Museum and Sagarmatha National Park headquarters office. Here, you can learn about the park's activities, local people and culture, landscape and scenery, the alpine zone, mountains, glaciers, and much more.

Namche is a central hub for many trekking routes in the Everest region, including Gokyo, EBC, Thame, and Chhukung. It's essential to spend time here to acclimate, which you can do by taking uphill hikes to Shyangboche. The Syangboche Airport is the highest in the world. A bit further up is a beautiful Sherpa lodge where you can practice yoga, although it's unavailable year-round. You can enjoy stunning mountain views at the Hotel Everest View while sipping tea or coffee.

Afterwards, hike down to the green valley and the villages of Khumjung and Khunde. Here, you can visit the famous monastery that houses a Yeti's head, a unique and intriguing artefact. The Khunde Hospital, founded by Sir Edmund Hillary, is a testament to the Sherpa people's resilience and their commitment to healthcare. The Hillary School, named after the legendary mountaineer, is a beacon of education in this remote region. After the hike, return to Namche and spend some time exploring this charming town. Although it is a rest and relaxing day, we have plenty to keep us busy today.

Day 4 : Namche – Tengboche (5- Hours)

Today, leave Namche early in the morning after breakfast. It is a beautiful walk up to Tengboche, the monastic village in the Everest base camp trekking trail. On the way to Tengboche, experience some of the spectacular views around. Once you reach Tengboche and check into the guest house, go and explore the monastery, and learn about Tibetan Buddhism.

Day 5 : Tangeboche to Pangboche (2 Hours)

After a leisurely breakfast in Tengboche, begin your short and scenic trek to Pangboche. The trail takes about 2 hours and is at a relaxed pace, offering beautiful views of Ama Dablam and the surrounding mountains. Though the walk isn't long, the higher altitude requires a slower, more relaxed pace.

We stay overnight in Pangboche for two key reasons. First, there are no proper lodges available ahead in Mingbo or Amaadablam base Camp. Second, staying here helps with acclimatization and provides enough energy before the longer hike to Ama Dablam Base Camp and return to Pangboche. 

Enjoy the peaceful setting. Visit Pangboche monastery and experience the local Sherpa culture in this traditional mountain village.

Day 6 : Hike to Ama Dablam Base Camp and back to Pangboche (7-8 Hours)

Start your day early with breakfast in Pangboche and pack only the essential gear for a light day hike, as you’ll return to Pangboche by evening. The trail begins with a short descent to cross the Imja Khola River, then gradually climbs through beautiful alpine meadows and scattered Sherpa settlements.

As you ascend, enjoy the peaceful surroundings of Mingbo — a tranquil yak pasture that reflects traditional Sherpa life. The trail offers breathtaking views of Ama Dablam, Thamserku, Kangtega, Everest, and Lhotse.

It typically takes 3 to 4 hours to reach Ama Dablam Base Camp (4,570 m) from Pangboche (3,930 m), depending on your pace and acclimatization. Spend time exploring the base camp, soaking in the mountain atmosphere, and capturing scenic photos (weather permitting). Afterwards, return slowly via the same trail to Pangboche, completing the round trip in about 7–8 hours. Overnight stay in Pangboche.

Day 7 : Pangboche to Mong Danda ( 5-6 Hours)

After breakfast in Pangboche (3,985 m), you can either return via the same route or choose an alternative path through Phortse. If you take the scenic Phortse route, the trail follows the upper path along the left bank of the Imja Khola. This lesser-travelled route offers peaceful walking through rhododendron forests and showcases magnificent views of Ama Dablam, Thamserku, and Kangtega. The quiet environment also increases your chances of spotting Himalayan wildlife such as musk deer or colourful pheasants.

Upon reaching Phortse (3,810 m), a traditional Sherpa village, explore its terraced fields, stone houses, Mani walls, and monastery. After a lunch break with views of the Dudh Koshi Valley, continue with a 45-minute descent to the river. From here, begin a gradual uphill climb toward Mong Danda (3,973 m), passing through pine forests and open ridges with sweeping vistas of both the Gokyo and Khumbu valleys. The final ascent rewards you with breathtaking views of Everest, Lhotse, and Makalu. Mongdanda is the birthplace of Lama Sange Dorje, who introduced Buddhism in Khumbu. Overnight stay at Mong Danda.

Day 8 : Mongdanda to Jorshalle (4-5 Hours)

Today, after a relaxing breakfast from Mongdanda, your trek begins with a scenic descent toward Sanasa, offering breathtaking views of Ama Dablam, Thamserku, and the Dudh Koshi Valley. The trail gently winds through lush pine, fir, Breach and rhododendron forests. After about an hour’s trek, we’ll arrive back at Namche Bazaar. From here, the path descends steadily to the confluence of the Imja Khola and Dudh Koshi rivers, crossing the iconic Hillary Suspension Bridge. Jorshalle is a picturesque village that marks the gateway to Sagarmatha National Park and is surrounded by pristine nature. The gentle riverside trail, accompanied by the soothing sound of flowing water, makes this section a peaceful and memorable part of your Everest trekking journey. A short walk brings you to Jorshalle, where you will stay overnight. 

Day 9 : Jorsalle To Lukla (4-5 Hours

We start our journey from Jorsalle, crossing a suspension bridge decorated with colourful prayer flags. Following the Dudh Koshi River downstream, the trail passes charming Sherpa villages, scenic suspension bridges, and stunning mountain views. A short climb brings us to the checkpoint for final permit verification, then we descend to Monjo and onward to Banker, where rocks are carved with the sacred Buddhist mantra “Om Mani Padme Hum.”

From Banker, we pass a beautiful twin waterfall, continue through pine forests and rocky paths to Toktok, and cross another bridge to reach Phakding. The trail then leads through Ghat, Thadokoshi, and Chheplung. After Chheplung, we continue up the trail, surrounded by peaceful greenery, and arrive at the Pasang Lhamu Memorial Gate, marking our return to Lukla.

Here, we bid farewell to our porters, share a celebratory dinner, and reflect on the success of our Ama Dablam Base Camp adventure. Overnight stay in Lukla.

Day 10 : Fly back from Lukla to Kathmandu

After a hot breakfast in Lukla, take an early morning flight back to Kathmandu, though flight schedules in the Himalayas depend heavily on weather conditions. During peak trekking season, flights often operate between Lukla and Ramechhap. In this case, our driver will meet you at Ramechhap Airport and transfer you to your hotel in Kathmandu, a scenic four-hour drive. 

In the off-season, you can usually fly directly from Lukla to Kathmandu, where our guide will escort you to your hotel.

It’s wise to keep one buffer day in your itinerary in case of weather delays.

After arrival, you’ll have the afternoon free to relax at your hotel or explore the city. In the evening, we’ll gather for a special farewell dinner with a cultural dance to celebrate the successful completion of the Ama Dablam Base Camp Trek.  The following day, we will provide a drop-off service from your Hotel to the airport.
