Traveller’s Review


One of the best off routes after the Namche Bazaar in the Everest region. We had a great time in the Ama Dablam base camp. The teahouses at base camp are well managed and we stayed two nights there.

If you are looking for an off the beaten path trek in the Everest region, this trek might be a perfect choice for you.

Our guide, Ganesh was very helpful and kind. Thanks to the porter who carried our stuff throughout the hike.

Thanks to the entire team of Glorious Himalaya who made our Nepal journey remarkable.
