Amadablam Base Camp Comfort Trek

The city hotels chosen are the finest boutique hotels in Kathmandu, Pokhara, and Chitwan. Depending on the guest’s budget and preferences, we arrange three to five-star hotels.

As for the mountain accommodations, we try using eco-hotels as much as possible. Generally, typical teahouse lodges have a clean and basic shared roomcontaining two or three beds. Toilet paper is not provided, so you should bring your own or purchase it locally.

Our campsites are in remote trekking areas. Our team of leaders, guides, cooks, Sherpas, and porters will accompany guests and take care of all the technical and logistical parts during camping treks.

We will provide large comfortable domed tents with thick foam mattresses on thinner insulation liners with stools and tables for meals. You will have meals at the camps, where our cooks prepared and serve scrumptious freshly cooked organic meals.

The trek is possible throughout the year. However, autumn and spring are the best seasons; choose to trek in autumn (Sep-Nov) as spring is busy with expeditions.

We believe in socially and environmentally responsible, sustainable tourism. Our personalized services are guided by these principles and our 27 years of experience in the field of trekking is invaluable in giving our clients quality service. Our itineraries are suitably designed for acclimatization and we use the best-selected lodges through the trail and in Kathmandu.

Yes, children can trek as there are no age restrictions. We can design a suitable trekking itinerary for all age groups above 8 years old. However, children fewer than 8 can have a hard time trekking for longer periods of time, and altitude sickness can be a problem.

Trekking equipment and clothing are requisite items for the trekking and expedition in the Himalayas. It is hard to reach the trekker’s destination without the necessary trekking /mountaineering gear. Following trekking gear and clothes are essential to bring for your trekking:

1. Lightweight walking boots with ankle support and rubber soles with thick tread are best. Your boots should be worn with thick natural-fiber socks. Needless to say, they should be comfortable enough, uncomfortable boots can ruin a trek.

2. Bring reusable bottles, which are much more environmentally friendly than purchasing new bottles consistently. Most water available in trekking lodges is drinkable, but sometimes you’ll need to refill your bottles from outside taps while trekking. So we advise you to bring Steri-Pen or water purification tablets or drops to treat drinking water.

3. Tissue and toilet paper, as these supplies are rarely provided in lodges and public toilets.

4. Waterproof/wind trousers and jackets are advisable to bring with you. They are essential to keep you dry and warm. In some places, the wind can be very strong and freezing.

5. Due to the higher altitude, down jackets is advisable as it’s extremely light, keep you toasty warm, and can be folded easily. Likewise, light, comfortable, and quick-drying T-shirts, jumpers, and trekking trousers are recommended

6. Keep a separate change of clothes to wear in the lodges and overnight. Thermal underclothing i.e. Long pants and short and long sleeves is also recommended..

7. A 30 liters bag is the perfect size to use as a day bag to pack your camera, a sweatshirt, a water-resistant jacket, a water bottle, and other miscellaneous kinds of stuff. We advise you to bring a Duffel bag as well to make the transport easier on the porters.

8. Snacks according to your needs that are not available along the trails such as energy bars, electrolyte replacement drink mix cookies, dark chocolates, and multivitamins.

9. Bring a torch or head torch with spare batteries for reading in the evenings and a midnight trip to the bathroom, or early morning treks

10. It is suggested to bring a basic medical kit. Your trek leader is first-aid trained and will also carry a standard medical pack. However, it would be best to bring your own prescription medicines.

11. Other important things include a multipurpose knife, suntan lotion, soap, toothpaste, camera equipment, binoculars, adapters, earplugs, sunglasses with UV protection for higher altitude, rain poncho, Nepalese phrasebook, walking stick, cotton scarf or bandana, sun hat, neckerchief, chapstick with SPF protection, spare shoelaces, padlock or combination lock, whistles for emergencies i.e. when you’re lost, or you’re hurt and require help, large plastic bag for lining backpack, waterproof shell gloves and insect repellent if you trek during the summer months.

Traveler's insurance. is a compulsion as anything can happen in the trek; for emergency rescue, personal liabilities, cancellation, loss of luggage and other reasons if necessary.

You can bring as much as clothes you want but extra luggage is not required for the trek, you can leave your extra luggage in Kathmandu or Pokhara’s hotel. For the trek you can carry enough clothes you require in your backpack or carry only the camera, water bottle few clothes etc in your backpack. The potter can carry your extra duffle bag clothes which can weigh up to 15 to 30kg and a camping porter carries up to 30kg. However the local domestic flights allows maximum of 18kg per person.

Medical facilities are available according to the tourist seasons. During the season time there are basic altitude clinics at certain places as Gokyo and Pheriche, there is health post in Namche and Lukla.
Besides the season time there are pharmacies in Namche and Lukla, and a small hospital in Khumjung. However, you need to carry a First Aid and bring all your personal medicines you need.
