Nepal: Ama Dablam Base Camp and Gokyo Lakes

Escape the Everest Base Camp crowds for a more serene, authentic Himalayan experience.

Reach the base of Ama Dablam, often dubbed the “Matterhorn of the Khumbu”. This trek offers adventurers the chance to explore the serene Gokyo Lakes and enjoy spectacular views of Everest and other majestic peaks, without the crowds.  Designed with an optimal balance of adventure and acclimatization, you can expect 6 - 8 hours of trekking per day, with plenty of breaks to capture the awe-inspiring views. While the high-altitude terrain will test your limits, the sense of accomplishment and the sheer beauty surrounding you will be your ultimate reward.

Level 5: Walks are up to 8-10 hours per day in alpine environments, weather conditions variable, long steep ascents and descents, at altitude, mostly rough tracks and some rock scrambling in places.  GirlsTrek trips are graded according to the length of hours out on the trails, the type of trails underfoot and the fitness required to comfortably walk longer distances, on tougher terrain, for several days in a row. This is a GO Wild trip. 

For our Level 5 trips, we request that you have the following experience/fitness to join:

Experience hiking a multi-day trek in the last 4 years that required you to walk for up to 8hrs per day on undulating terrain.

OR Experience hiking 2 x  GirlsTrek Level 3 or 4 trips in the past 4 years.
