The Ama Dablam Base Camp trek is a side trip and the best acclimatization trip to heading to Everest Base Camp. It will combine with EBC-Chola-Renjola. The route follows from Ama Dablam Base- Everest Base Camp- Chola Pass- Gokyo Vally and Renjola Pass. This trek is one of the most demanding trek for trekkers who want to explore most of the places in the Everest region.
"Everest Circuit: Peaks, Passes, and Pure Adventure."
This adventurous trek forms a scenic circuit through the Everest region, blending iconic highlights and hidden gems. Starting with a visit to the striking Ama Dablam Base Camp, the route leads to the legendary Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar for close-up views of Everest. From there, trekkers cross the dramatic Cho La Pass, entering the serene Gokyo Valley with its shimmering glacial lakes. A climb to Gokyo Ri offers one of the finest panoramas in the Himalayas. The journey concludes with the Renjo La Pass, a quieter but equally breathtaking trail back toward Namche Bazaar.
Highlights
- Stunning close-up views of Ama Dablam (6,812m) – often called the "Matterhorn of the Himalayas" for its striking, pyramid shape. Less crowded than EBC, offering serene alpine beauty.
- Reaching the foot of the world’s highest peak (8,848m), with panoramic views of the Khumbu Icefall and surrounding giants like Lhotse and Nuptse.
- Challenging high-altitude crossing with epic glacier walks and rugged landscapes, connecting EBC to the Gokyo region.
- Series of turquoise glacial lakes and the climb to Gokyo Ri (5,357m) for arguably the best panoramic view of Everest, Cho Oyu, and Makalu.
- Breathtaking panoramic vistas of Everest and the Gokyo Valley with fewer trekkers, making it a quieter but stunning route.
