Amadablam Climbing

We will meet you at Kathmandu Tribhuvan International for your Amadablam climbing trip. We will transfer to your hotel from the airport. You will have time to settle in and freshen up after your long fight. We will invite you to our office for a briefing about your program.

You will meet with your Amadablam climbing guide. We will discuss the equipment needed for the trekking and process the trekking permits. If you arrive at night, we will have the same discussion the following day after breakfast.

After breakfast, you will take a full-day sightseeing tour around Kathmandu Valley. You can visit the sacred Pashupatinath Temple and Swyambhunath. They are very ancient and essentially enlisted in UNESCO World Heritage sites.

The biggest Buddhist Stupa is Boudhnath. Kathmandu Durbar Square’s fine arts and historical architecture reflect the ancient Nepalese culture. We highlight them on our guided tour.

Today might be a rest day of Amadablam climbing for you. We will finalize all the trekking permits and the official formalities this day. You will have time to explore the local area and have dinner. You can perhaps stroll through the famous streets.

Today, we will take a scenic flight to Lukla to start your Amadablam climbing. We enter the deep gorge of the Dudh Kosi valley. With clear weather, we get fantastic views of the mountains, including Everest. You begin your trek from Lukla.

You will follow a gentle climb up the mountainside on the left bank of the Dudh Koshi River. You will also view Mt Nupla (5885m), Kusum Kangaru (6367m), and Mount Kwongde Range. We then leisurely walk for about two hours to Phakding village.

On your Amadablam climbing schedule, we will cross it twice by small suspension bridges. Then we reach the village of Monjo. It is the entrance gate of the Sagarmatha National Park. Along the way, you will get your first glimpse of Kusum Kangru (6369m), Thamserku (6608m), Everest (8848m), and Nuptse (7879 m).

After a final steep ascent of about two hours, we get the first sight of Mt. Everest, peering over the Lhotse-Nuptse ridge. Then, we take a steep climb up to the beautiful village of Namche bazaar (3440m). It will provide spectacular views and a comfortable place to spend the second night of the trek.

Accommodate your body to the high altitude of Namche. You gained a lot of height the previous day while climbing Amadablam. Set in a natural amphitheater, Namche Bazaar is one of the most attractive settlements in the Khumbu region. Look across to the jagged ridge of Kongdi RI (6187m).

We will have a full day’s rest, so we won’t face any problems. You have full-day leisure with fantastic panoramic views. You can stroll around the market and enjoy the splendid views of Everest, Ama Dablam, Thamserku, Nuptse, Lhotse, Tawche, and Kwangde.

We start our Amadablam climbing trek with a pleasant walk through the forest, with magnificent views of the mountains. The trail climbs past some water-powered prayer wheels. Then, a sustained climb through a forest of tall, mature rhododendrons begins.

The village has a vast, grassy saddle at the start of the Tengboche (3870m). It lies below a crescent-shaped ridge covered by scrub pines and firs. From the viewpoint at the top of the hill, there are awe-inspiring views of distinctive peaks.

We view Madablam (6856m), standing proud of the massif containing Everest (8848m). We also see Nuptse (7861m), Lhotse (8501m), and inspiring views of Himalayan giants. We visit the Buddhist Monastery at Tengboche, the largest in the Khumbu region.

The trek will be moderately paced, allowing ample time for acclimatization, rest, and sightseeing. Basecamp is at 4650 meters/15,300 feet.

Today is the day for acclimatization or rest. On the day of our expedition, we will make all the necessary preparations. Check all the equipment conditions and make yourself mentally and physically fit.

In this period, we will have climbing and acclimatization to fit your body and mind and do the final summit.

It takes approximately four hours to get to Tengboche. It is a small village with a famous monastery offering splendid views of Mt. Amadablam, lush green hills, and river views.

The junction of the trinity opens the path to Gokyo Valley, Khumjung Village, and Namche Bazaar. Inside the rhododendron forest, you can find dense wildlife, including some species of pheasants, Himalayan Griffons, muscul deer, and wild goats. Evening explores the small surrounding area with magnificent scenery.

The path is downhill, and the unrelenting slope significantly impacts the knees. Once you cross the high suspension bridge, the route runs mostly level. We will work through rhododendrons and pine forests. We walk with a view of a distance of snow-covered peaks before arriving at Phakding.

Enjoy the lush green scenery. Pass through the incredible mountain scenery and local Sherpa village arrival in Lukla. You’ll have time to stroll around the local areas. You can enjoy a typical Nepalese dinner and cultural show in the evening.

It can also be a spare day in case of bad weather in Lukla. The Lukla flight may get delayed and canceled.

Today, you will have a free day in Kathmandu Valley. Rest in your Hotel. Stroll the streets and buy souvenirs and memories from Nepal. In the evening, we will have a typical Nepali dinner accompanied by cultural shows in the Hotel.

We will drop you off at the international airport to catch your flight to your onward destination.
