However, Ama Dablam Base Camp Trek is becoming much popular these days. The Ama Dablam Mountain is a popular climbing peak in Nepal, and you require a special climbing permit to summit the Peak.  However, just for the trek to the Base camp of Amadablam, only the normal trekking permits are enough.

You spend an extra acclimatization day in Namche and walk to Khumjung village, where you visit the school and monastery. The visit to Khumsung villages offers you deep knowledge about the local people, the Sherpas, their culture, tradition, religion, and way of life. You then trek to Tengboche village, where you also visit the Tengboche monastery, which is the oldest in the region.

The trek to Ama Dablam base camp continues the next day to Pangboche. You stay overnight in Panboche and leave bags at the lodge and make a day trip to Ama Dablam base camp.
