About the expedition

A genuine adventure. Take a deep breath. A view you’ll never forget.

Just imagine: you wake up in a mountain hut with a view of snow-capped peaks, a cup of tea in your hands, and in the distance – a majestic Ama Dablam It rises towards the sky like a jewel of the Himalayas. All around is the silence of the mountains, a path winding through rhododendron forests, and above, prayer flags fluttering in the gentle breeze.

On this expedition, you will walk the historic route taken by the first climbers to reach the summit of Everest, travelling through Sherpa villages, legendary mountain passes and valleys. But that’s not all. You’ll be staying in a place most tourists don’t get to – at the Ama Dablam Base Camp. It is here, at the height of the climbing season, that there is a truly special atmosphere – expedition tents, conversations about the mountain, and views that stay with you forever.

You’ll also gain Everest Base Camp (5,364 m) – one of the most famous places in the Himalayas, and if you’ve still got the energy, you’ll set off on Kala Patthar (5,545 m), where the sunrise panorama is simply breathtaking. It’s not just about trekking. It’s a journey through culture, nature and your own self.

Discover the most picturesque route to Everest Base Camp, enhanced by a unique transition through Base camp for Ama Dablam – one of the most beautiful and inspiring mountains in the Himalayas.

Why is this trek more than just the classic EBC route?

  • A unique route through the Ama Dablam Base Camp
    • We are one of the very few operators to offer a trek to Everest Base Camp that includes a hike to the base of Ama Dablam – a place inaccessible to most tourists, which is bustling during the peak climbing season. This is an encounter with the true world of Himalayan mountaineering.
  • A journey in the footsteps of legends
    • We’ll follow in the footsteps of Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, combining this with an authentic exploration of the Khumbu region and the local Sherpa culture
  • Safety and a well-planned acclimatisation programme
    • A programme designed for active people, though not necessarily those with experience of high mountains. We offer a tried-and-tested route with flexible acclimatisation, to enhance the comfort and safety of every participant.

A stay at the base camp beneath Everest will allow you to share in the lives, passions and experiences of world-renowned climbers and Sherpas. We offer you the chance to explore the beautiful Sagarmatha National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to the diverse flora and fauna of the Himalayas. You’ll get a close-up look at the world’s highest Buddhist monasteries, the Sherpa capital of Namche Bazaar, and, of course, you’ll reach the highlight of your journey – Everest Base Camp, regarded by the Nepalese as the abode of the gods.

The programme has been developed on the basis of our team members’ many years of experience. It is ideal for acclimatisation, but is also not too long, which is important for those who cannot afford a very long holiday.

This programme is designed for beginner Himalayan trekkers who are in good health and are physically fit. If you have any doubts as to whether this programme is suitable for you, please contact us; we’ll be happy to advise you based on some information you provide.

Join those who aren’t looking for a „trip” – just an authentic Himalayan experience.

  • The best company I’ve come across for organising treks in Nepal. 

    The safety standards – and consequently their customer service – are simply incredible. You can feel the immense positive energy these people radiate from a distance. Thanks to them, I saw the most beautiful side of Manaslu. They organised the trip of a lifetime for me and brought together a group of people I’ll remember for a long time to come. I travelled alone with people I didn’t know, yet I felt so well looked after that I came back feeling as though I’d gained a new family. Even some of our Nepalese team tried to learn Polish, so the morning… ‘coffee or tea?’… always brought a smile to my face. They were there for us and with us!!!!!! The best company ever. With them, I’d go to the ends of the earth!!!!!!!!!
