The Ama Dablam Base Camp trek has been designed to take you to some of the prettiest Sherpa villages within an easy walking distance of the Namche Bazaar, also known as the Sherpa capital of the world.
The ultimate objective is standing at the foot of the region’s most beautiful mountain, Ama Dablam. Ama Dablam means ’mother’s necklace’ - the hanging glacier resembles a ‘Dablam’ which is a piece of traditional jewelry worn by Sherpa women.
