On the second day, we will fulfill all our official procedures including necessary documentation, obtain permits, and other formalities needed for our expedition. Then you will have time for sightseeing around the city.

The next day, we will start our preparation for our expedition. We will now pack our bags, do some necessary shopping, and re-check everything that we need (Especially medicines and essentials). Briefings will be made about every aspect of the expedition and all gear and equipment, trip duration, accommodation, facilities at the base camp, and all related to the expedition. It is also an opportunity for you to communicate and introduce yourself to your fellow climbers and teammates.

After an amazing breakfast, we will take a thrilling flight to Lukla Airport early in the morning. The flight gives you a bird’s eye view of the valleys, rivers, hills, and gradually mountain ranges. Even though the flight is only for half an hour, it does not fail to mesmerize you now and then. As we land at Lukla Airport, which is already exciting, we start our trek to Phakding, our destination for the day. After obtaining the permit for the region, we will slowly move through the settlements on a mixed trail of dirt, stone pathways, and some rocky sections at times. This is an easy start, so make sure to enjoy all the greeneries, floras, and faunas as you walk. The trail takes you over several suspension bridges and along the Dudh Koshi river.  Enjoy the rest of the day at Phakding.

After Phakding, we move towards another beautiful destination, Namche Bazaar, which is the commercial point of the Khumbu region. Passing through the dense luscious forests of pine, juniper, Rhododendron, looking out for animals in the Sagarmatha National Park, climbing the stairs, enjoying the rages of rivers at some points, and mostly walking uphills are the major activities of the day’s trek. This trek will be long and tiring as we start gaining significant elevation. As we reach Namche, we rest at our hotel and enjoy our dinner.

The next day, we hike up to Everest View Point (3900m) & decend back to our hotel to acclimatize where we can also go around the village area and experience some local sherpa culture. We can also visit the Everest Photo Gallery and the Sherpa Museum while in Namche.

After a day’s rest and acclimatization at Namche, we then approach one of the most beautiful and tranquil parts of this Expedition, the Tengboche monastery. Tengboche monastery is one of the most popular monasteries among Buddhists around the world. The views of Mt. Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam are visible towards the north while Thamserku and Kangtega stand towards the south with striking views. We will also join in some prayer ceremonies and rest for the day.

After Tengboche monastery, we head towards the base camp of Ama Dablam which is situated in a beautiful meadow also used as the Yak Pasture beneath the west face of the mountain. We cross the Imja River over a suspension bridge and hike up to Pangboche simultaneously leading the trail uphill through forests of junipers, the high-altitude tree lines. The route lies in the quieter region of the Khumbu valley. Embracing the 360 degrees view of the mountains like Kangtega (6783 m), Taboche (6542 m), Thamserku (6618 m), and many more, we reach Ama Dablam base camp at 4450 m.

After a long trek up to the Base Camp, we allocate two more days for rest and acclimatization before heading to the summit. During these days, we go on short excursions and prepare ourselves for the summit. We will also conduct some brief training related to the mountaineering gears and equipment and also practice walking with fixed ropes on small cliffs.

After the equipment check and preparation, we head towards camp 1 (5700 m) through easy terrain. But the trail gets technical with steep and difficult slopes before a steep ridge and requires tackling a steep slab.

Before heading for the summit push, we will be acclimatizing by completing the following rotation. We will be heading to Camp I from Base Camp and staying overnight at Camp I. The next day we will be heading to Camp II from Camp I & staying overnight at Camp II & return to base camp the next day. Camp 2 is set up at around 5900 m. We will need to climb past steep ridges and snowy slopes with the help of fixed ropes set up by our team.

The summit climb is an easy one. We wake up early, have our breakfast, and climb up on snowy slopes mixed with rocks above Camp 2.

We will ascend the peak of marvelous Ama Dablam (6812m) and return back to the Base Camp. The following day will be allocated for cleaning up and preparation to leave.

(NOTE: We will conduct rotations between the camps for acclimatization and training purposes. The mentioned itinerary is an overview of the circumstances during the climb.)

After the successful ascent of Ama Dablam, we retrace our path to Namche and rest overnight in a comfortable lodge.

From Namche, we walk downhill through the enchanting forests crossing the villages of Monjo and Phakding to reach Lukla to rest overnight.

From Lukla, we take the exciting flight back to Kathmandu viewing and bidding farewell to the Khumbu Region and the majestic Himalayas. After a flight of about 25 minutes, we land at the airport and get back to the hotel to rest and relax. You can go sightseeing around the city in the evening.

It’s a free day in Kathmandu for you to relax and explore around. You can take this opportunity to visit different World Heritage sites and buy some souvenirs for your family and friends.

With gratitude and lots of beautiful memories, we will have to bid you farewell to our valued clients. One of our representatives will drop you off at the airport 3 hours before your scheduled departure.
