Everest Base Camp Trek (EBC) and Ama Dablam Base Camp Combo Trek are unique packages designed by Discover Altitude Treks. This is one of the most fascinating trekking destinations for trekkers who prefer to be in the Khumbu Region of eastern Nepal covering the most popular base camp i.e. Everest Base Camp and Ama Dablam Base Camp.

It is a compiled trail leading us to the first and third most popular base camp in the Himalayas of Nepal, the second being the Annapurna Base Camp. This is a unique two-in-one program to be in the majestic Himalayas.

The trail is filled with colorful flora and fauna along with the mighty Himalayas and the most popular settlement of the Sherpa, the abode of the Himalayas. Ama Dablam literally in the local language means ‘Mothers Necklace’. 

The mountain has such a lovely shape as if a mother is welcoming her children by spreading her arms. Ama Dablam Hike will be an easy trek for travelers but the Everest Base Camp won’t be for many trekkers.

To make it easy going into the Himalayas, trekking to Ama Dablam Base Camp will help to acclimatize trekkers before reaching the Base Camp of Everest. So completing both the base camp in one itinerary will be profitable for any adventurous trekkers who are in the Khumbu Region of Nepal.

The mountain Ama Dablam rises with an altitude of 6,812m (22349 ft), making it one of the most viewed mountains while in the Everest region, trekkers in this region will witness Mt. Ama Dablam frequently during the trek, making it one of the most fascinating mountains since it was scaled in 13th March 1961 by a group of an expedition led by Sir Edmund Hillary.

Whereas Mt. Everest is one of the highest mountains in the world rises with an altitude of 8,848. 86 m (29,032 ft), was scaled on 29th May 1953 by Tenzing Norgay and Sir Edmund Hillary.

The highlight of the trek is not only being in the Everest Base Camp 5,364 m(17,598 ft) and Ama Dablam Base Camp 4,600 m (15,092 ft), but it’s an open site for every traveler to observe the culture along with nature and Himalayas including being at the top of Kala Patthar 5,545 m (18,192 ft).

The Sherpa’s hospitality and unique customs and traditions will provide us with a new experience during the trek. Visiting the monastery, spinning the Mani (praying wheel), viewing the fluttering praying flag all the way, crossing the suspension bridges, etc will be the center of attraction.

With the diversity of the region, the trek will start with a cultural tour of the Kathmandu valley, flying to Lukla will be an exciting one for travelers. Throughout the trail, the diversity of vegetation and landscape will astonish one before reaching Namche Bazaar the capital city of the Sherpas. 

Accompanied with modern facilities like ATMs, Banking, Hospitals, Schools, etc. a day extra for acclimatization in the Namche Bazaar will help us to hike all the way to Everest View Hotel and visit a museum nearby.

On a day trek, we can reach Tengboche and then hike to Ama Dablam Base Camp. During the expedition season, we can enjoy time with the group of expedition heading towards Ama Dablam.

From Ama Dablam Base Camp, we will ascend for our next awaited journey to EBC and Kala Patthar. Further descending downhill for a couple of days we will be at Lukla for our flight back to Kathmandu the capital city of Nepal.

Discover Altitude has specially designed two in one program of Everest Base Camp and Ama Dablam Base Camp Trek Itinerary with frequent field visits by our professional staff to make sure the program goes according to the itinerary mentioned below. For the convenience of our client minute detailed itinerary, cost, highlights, pictures, and the map has been provided.

As it is an energetic trek in the Himalayas, trekkers can visit this trail every season throughout the year. Regarding the Everest Base Camp and Ama Dablam Base Camp Trekking Cost, it varies on the number of days and people.

Useful Info

  • Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world with an elevation of 8,848.86 meters (29,032 ft) above sea level, whereas, Mt. Ama Dablam stands with an elevation of 6,812 meters (22,349 feet) above sea level.
  • Mount Everest is also known as Sagarmatha ‘top of the world’ in the Nepali language and ‘Chomolungma’ which means mother of the world’ in the Sherpa language. Whereas, Ama Dablam literally means Mother’s Necklace, as the mountain is shaped in a way as if a mother is welcoming her child.
  • Mt. Everest was first scaled by Tenzing Norgay and Sir Edmund Hillary in the year 1953 AD, whereas Mt Ama Dablam was first scaled on 13th March 1961 by a group of an expedition led by Sir Edmund Hillary.
  • Mt. Everest and Mt. Ama Dablam both lie in the Sagarmatha National Conservation Area of the Khumbu region/Everest region, which is the UNESCO natural world heritage site.
  • Trekkers can only trek up to the base camp of Mt. Everest which is 5,364 meters and the base camp of Ama Dablam 4,600m (15,092 ft), at this elevation we can observe the expedition group arranging for the summit to the top of Mt. Everest 8848.86 meters and Ama Dablam 6812 meters.
  • Till the Base Camp of both Mt. Everest and Ama Dablam, we can trek using a normal trekking permit, but to summit the top of Mt. Everest and Ama Dablam, we need a special permit and training.
  • Everest Base Camp and Ama Dablam Base Camp hike start from Lukla which is 2,840 m (9,318 ft) and the highest elevation for the Ama Dablam Base Camp for overnight camp is Pengboche 3,930m (12,894 ft). Whereas, for Everest Base Camp the highest overnight stay is Gorakshep 5,140 meters.
  • We can take a helicopter to and from Lukla airport via Kathmandu airport but not the normal domestic flight.
  • Normally trekking to the Everest region starts from Lukla and ends at Lukla, keeping in mind the total trekking distance to be covered is 150 km in 13 days which includes two extra rest days for acclimatization one in Namche Bazaar and the other in Dingboche
  • Trekking elevation also varies from Lukla to Kalapatthar, as the trekking starts from Lukla which is 2,840 meters,s, and Kalapatthar which is 5545 meters, this will be the highest elevation of the entire trek.
  • The highest elevation for the overnight stay in the Everest Base Camp trek is Gorakshep 5140 meters which is the final highest point to spend a night.
  • The Everest Base Camp and Ama Dablam trek start from a moderate hike to a strenuous hike but two nights extra for acclimatization will help any trekkers to accomplish the entire trek successfully.
  • Throughout the hike to Everest Base Camp and Ama Dablam Base Camp, accommodations are from attach-toilet to normal, it depends mainly on the altitude we are at. The higher are in the normal tea houses/lodges we are supposed to stay and also the higher we are the number of tea houses and lodges diminishes.
  • The only living community in the Everest region is the Sherpas community, they are the aboriginals of the high Himalayas and follow Buddhism as their religion they are very friendly, loyal, and helpful.
  • The highest elevation of the Ama Dablam hike is 4600 meters, making it easier than Everest Base Camp, so trekkers can complete the hike in a more relaxing way than EBC without being worried about altitude sickness.

Accommodation during the Everest Base Camp and Ama Dablam Trek

Accommodation during the trek is the most frequently asked question by trekkers. To speak the truth there are many lodges and tea houses being operated in the Himalayas region but are limited by the occupancy of rooms and also the number of hotels.

As the Himalayan region are a conserved area, only a limited number of hotels/lodges/tea house can be seen but it depends upon the altitude where we are. The more we ascend the less number of hotels and lodges can be seen, further as the elevation increases the level of accommodation decreases. Normally in Lukla and Namche Bazaar, more hotels and lodges are found than the other overnight place.

The accommodation in the trek will be basic, with attached toilet in some of the places below the 3,500m, here are some of the basic information about the lodges/hotels and tea house during the trek to the Everest Base Camp according to the Day To Day itinerary to EBC:

Lukla

Lukla is the gateway to the Everest region and the only airport in the Himalayas, which is around a 30-minute flight from the main airport of Kathmandu. The air distance between Kathmandu and Lukla is 136 km making it a 30-minute flight.

The airport in Lukla is situated at an altitude of 2,840m and is a small airport with a runway of 527m which makes only small aircraft fly. It is also the main town to carry the goods received from the city to transfer to the higher region of Everest.

This makes Lukla a big and busy town in the mountain, keeping all this in mind the local has been operating different standards of hotels in Lukla from basic to standard, from attaching the toilet to normal, around 300 tourists can stay in the surrounding hotels in Lukla making it comfortable stay in.

Phakding

Phakding is the first overnight place for trekkers in the Everest region. It is a small village where trekkers prefer to stay while ascending to the Everest region only. The distance between Lukla and Phakding is 8km, which takes around 4 hours to trek.

Apart from these the hotels and lodges in Phakding are limited but some are resort-type and comfortable to stay with attached toilets and hot showers, during the peak season of trekking booking the hotel will be good to avoid sleeping in the dining hall.

Namche Bazaar

Namche Bazaar is one of the capital towns of the Himalayan region and a center for trade for the locals. It is 11 km from Phakding, Sufficient numbers of hotels, lodges, and resorts are available in the Namche. 

As the town is mainly used for acclimatization by the trekkers and also while descending trekkers prefer to say a night extra making it a three-night stay spot but for locals, it is a center of trading.

Different categories of hotels and lodges are available from basic to attach toilets from hot showers to electric heater rooms. In the entire region, Namche provides sufficient facilities for trekkers.

Pangboche

Pangboche is a comparatively small village as it lies in the Himalayas and 6 km far away from Namche Bazaar, fewer numbers of lodges and tea houses are operated but during heavy snowfall, the number of lodges and tea houses may decrease.

In Pangboche basic facilities of hotels and tea, houses are available but a hot shower is possible in every lodge and tea house. There are some lodges which provide attach toilet, hot shower, and electric heater bedroom as well but need prior booking.

Dingboche

Dingboche is a very popular high-altitude acclimatization place for all trekkers, so trekkers prefer to stay 2 nights in Dingboche to acclimatize. It is 11 km away from Tangboche on the lap of the Himalayas, it is a big town with sufficient numbers of lodges and tea houses to accommodate more trekkers but only a limited number of the hotel provide attach toilets inside.

Normally hot shower is possible in all the lodges but outside, due to their high elevation the lodges and tea houses are not blessed with electricity facilities but they use solar power to generate electricity and charge batteries, accommodation is basic but good for any trekkers.

Lobuche

Lobuche is 8 km further uphill into the Himalayas from Dingboche, it is a small village mainly operated as tea houses and lodges for tourists. There are around 6 lodges but very basic, hardly some of the rooms have a private toilet inside but in the freezing winter better to use the toilet outside.

Upon request, some lodges provide hot water for bathing which needed to be paid extra. None of the rooms has heater facilities but provides blankets to keep warm. Overall in the high mountain areas, this sort of accommodation is fair enough to make us sleep well.

Gorakshep

Gorakshep is one of the highest elevations for any trekkers to be in the Everest region and finally overnight at this height. It is 12 km from Lobuche making it the last highest human settlement. Some lodges are operated during peak season but during the snowy month, it is very rare to see any lodges.

The lodges and tea houses are very basic but comfortable enough to sleep, no private toilet inside the lodge, it is all common toilets and bathrooms in the lodges but the lodges and tea houses provide blankets to avoid freezing cool.

Pheriche

Pheriche is a small village that trekkers enjoy while descending from the Everest Base Camp. It is 12 km lower than Gorakshep, but more lodges and tea houses can be seen operating than in Gorakshep.

Pheriche village has around 14 lodges and tea houses, some of them provide private toilets and hot shower facilities as well. Accommodations are basic but better than Gorakshep, they do provide blankets to make you sleep well.

Those are the villages where trekkers enjoy their overnight while trekking in the Everest region of Everest Base Camp.

15 day Everest Base Camp & Gokyo Lakes Trek with Chola Pass

15-day Everest Base Camp & Gokyo Lakes Trek with Chola Pass.
Let me start off by saying... DO IT!!!.
It was the most amazing and memorable experience I have ever had.
If I could give a 100 stars, I would!!!!
Where can I start? We booked this trip on very short notice. The 15-day trek of Everest Base camp and Gokyo lakes with Cholo pass.
Our guide was the amazing Bikram Khadka or as we called him BK Daai (Dai meaning older brother).

We met Kumar, Santosh & BK Dai in Thamel, Kathmandu, a couple of days before. Spoke over the plan and what to expect on the trek, including potential altitude sickness, and paid the rest of what we owed, (paying the deposit while we were still in the UK). BK dai also helped us get little bits and bobs from Kathmandu for our trek, like renting sleeping bags, etc., which was helpful.

We knew we were in the monsoon season, so we knew what to expect. In Kathmandu, our flight to Lukla was delayed, with BK Dai worrying we might have to get it. Luckily, after about a 2-hour wait, we were lucky, and our flight went through, luck being the keyword for our whole trip.

On our trek, BK Dai had us put in the best available room, where available and made sure we were extremely comfortable (it being off-season helped with this as more availability).

The hike from Lukla to Phakding was hard, in the heat, but we made it in 3 hours. Had a sleep at a really nice hotel. The next day we left around 7 am (the usual time we started hiking throughout the whole trip) and made our way to Namche Bazaar. He made sure we were okay all the way through, explained interesting facts and points throughout the trip, and most importantly thing, made us laugh all the way through this trip. In Namche, we stayed at the Footrest Lodge, where he introduced us to his friend Gopal, an amazing and hard-working person. We stayed there 2 nights to acclimatize. After the first night, we had a clear morning, and BK Dai woke us up at around 5:30 am to take us to our first and only sighting of Everest, which was amazing. Due to the clouds, throughout the trip it was difficult. That was BK Dai, he always woke up early to see how the weather was and made sure we got the best things to see.

Our initial plan was to go to Gokyo first and then to Everest Base Camp, but BK dai recommended, we should do the Everest Base Camp first, as Gokyo Lake/Cholo pass is extremely difficult, which it was (not for the faint-hearted, but amazingly rewarding).
We agreed and went on the route to Everest.

We made our way up the trek staying over in a couple of towns, stopping in Pheriche to acclimatise then Lobuche one night before we made it to Gorakshep. On the day we arrived at Gorakshep, we dropped our bags and went straight to Everest Base Camp, which was a tad bit treacherous, with land/rock slides and loose rocks being the path and nothing else. But, BK Dai knew exactly what and where he was going, which was comforting.

The next day it was far too cloudy for Kalapatthar, so we headed back down to make our way to Gokyo Lakes. We stayed in Dzongla for the night and early next morning made our way to Gokyo Lakes through Chola Pass, and it was probably the hardest thing, way harder than the Everest Base Camp Trek. It was amazing, exciting, dangerous, and adrenaline-pumping. There were moments when we had to climb using ropes, walk over glaciers, encounter heavy snow, and the last 1 hour or so, vertically climb a cliff face. It was exhausting, but my god it was rewarding. Gokyo Lake was beautiful, but again, heavy clouds prevented us from going to Gokyo Ri.

We were lucky many times throughout this trip, we never got altitude sickness, and as BK Dai always said, if you are hungry it's a good sign, which I was, all the time. We were also very lucky with the weather on some days, the views, the flight to Lukla & back. There were others we met going down, who didn't even see Everest or missed their flight and had to trek for 3 days and then get a jeep.

Throughout this trip, we made many friends, clients from abroad, and guides and porters.

BK dai to use was more than a guide, he was more than a friend, he was like our brother. I am not sure what this trip would have been like without him, he made it perfect and went beyond his work. From the bottom of my heart, I have nothing but love from him for making this amazing.

It's incredible how much I miss him, all his stories, his jokes, his energetic personality.
I can't wait to see him already.

Thank you, I will never forget this in my lifetime.

With a heartfelt love,

Best place to assist trek

I have completed 14 14-day Annapurna trek with Discover Altitude.
I was born and raised up in a metropolitan. The materialist surroundings are around me from the day I opened my eyes. But, something was always lacking inside. Every single day, I wanted to go away from all this. Later on I explored that my inner being resided in nature i.e. mountains, Himalayan, forest, etc. Then I searched to go for a mountain expedition.

In a random search, I contacted Discover Altitude and booked the earlier mentioned trek.
Throughout the trek, the people from Discover Altitude were very cosy and friendly. Especially, Kumar sir and Basu swami were compassionate more than a human can be expected for. They behaved me not as client but as a friend whom they had known for a long. All the arrangements and the food they provided were very hygienic and according to my preference.
Thanks to the whole team of Discover Altitude.

Amazing Everest Heli tour and Chitwan Safari with Discover Altitude Treks ..

I am thrilled to share my incredible experience with Discover Altitude Trek's Everest Base Camp Helicopter tour and Chitwan Safari. Both adventures were beyond my expectations and left me with memories that will last a lifetime.
Embarking on the Everest Base Camp Helicopter tour and Chitwan Safari with them was a privilege beyond words. The helicopter tour granted breathtaking aerial views of Everest's splendor, impeccably guided by Santosh. The Chitwan Safari, a mesmerizing jungle encounter, offered close wildlife encounters and seamless accommodations. Santosh's exceptional leadership and meticulous attention to detail ensured a flawless experience. Discover Altitude Trek's unwavering commitment to excellence and the team's passionate dedication made these journeys truly extraordinary.

2 day private tour Kathmandu

To see and experience Kathmandu in just 2 days including a sunrise in the Himalayas and a slaughter ritual is a challenge. But with Kumar, it works in a relaxed atmosphere. He feels good where your interests lie. This makes the experience even more intense in a relaxed way.
I can recommend him.

FAQs

Q1. How difficult is Everest Base Camp and Ama Dablam Trek?

After the successful summit of Mt. Everest the highest mountain in the world by Tenzing Norgay and Sir Edmund Hillary in 1953 and Mt. Ama Dablam in 1961, Mt Everest and Ama Dablam became known to the world.

People’s desire to stop at the base camp increased rapidly and with the development of time new trekking routes were formed and Lukla airport was constructed in 1964 AD, this made the Everest Hike less time-consuming and easily accessible to mountain lovers.

So trekking into the Everest Base Camp is now only 130 km in terms of distance and 9 days of the trek,  and Ama Dablam Base Camp is on the way to the Everest Base Camp and much easier with an altitude of 4600 meters, which means in an around 15 km per day of the hike which includes 8 hours of a daily hike but getting to Ama Dablam means some 20 km extra hike from Pangboche.

However, trekking to Ama Dablam And Everest Base Camp together is possible with just a couple of extra days.

The hike to the Everest Base Camp starts from a moderate hike too strenuous but with frequent breaks and rest for tea/coffee etc making it a relaxing and enjoyable journey to the foothill of the giant Mt. Everest.
