Details
This trek has been designed to take you to some of the prettiest Sherpa villages within an easy walking distance of the Namche Bazaar, also known as the Sherpa capital of the world. The ultimate objective is standing at the foot of the region’s most beautiful mountain, Ama Dablam. Ama Dablam means ’mother’s necklace’ – the hanging glacier resembles a ‘Dablam’, a piece of traditional jewelry worn by Sherpa women. You spend ten nights in remote villages in lodges run by local Sherpa families. Highlights include afternoon tea in the bakery, Pangboche monastery and an excursion to Ama Dablam Base Camp.
