How many days does the Ama Dablam Expedition take?

The Ama Dablam Expedition typically takes 32 days. This includes acclimatisation days, trekking days, and the return journey. The exact duration can vary depending on your chosen route and pace. We recommend not rushing the itinerary — proper acclimatisation is essential for both safety and enjoyment.

What is the best time of year for the Ama Dablam Expedition?

The best seasons for the Ama Dablam Expedition are Spring. During spring, rhododendrons bloom and skies are generally clear. Autumn offers the most stable weather with excellent mountain views. Monsoon (June–August) brings heavy rain and leeches on the trails but is possible for experienced trekkers. Winter (December–February) is cold but possible for lower-altitude treks with fewer crowds.

What level of experience do I need for the Ama Dablam Expedition?

The Ama Dablam Expedition is rated hard and requires prior high-altitude trekking experience, good physical fitness, and ideally some mountaineering or rock-climbing experience. Training at least 3–6 months before departure is strongly recommended. Our experienced guides will provide technical support throughout.

What trekking permits are needed for the Ama Dablam Expedition?

The required permits depend on the region but typically include a TIMS Card (Trekkers' Information Management System) and the relevant national park or conservation area entry permit. For restricted area treks, a special permit is required. All necessary permits are included in our package price and are arranged by our team before you begin the trek.

What is the accommodation like on the Ama Dablam Expedition?

Accommodation is in teahouses (guesthouses) along the trail. Rooms are simple but comfortable, with a bed, blanket, and pillow provided. Most teahouses have a dining hall with a wood-burning stove. Private rooms are available at most stops; in higher-altitude or remote areas, dormitory-style rooms may be the only option. Hot showers are available at many lodges (sometimes for an extra charge). In Kathmandu, we use 3-star hotels.

Can I do the Ama Dablam Expedition as a solo traveller?

Absolutely. Solo travellers are very welcome. Nepal's trekking trails are well-established and safe for solo adventurers. We will pair you with a private guide for the duration of the trek. You can also join one of our small group departures (maximum 12 people) to share costs and meet like-minded travellers from around the world.

How do I prepare physically for the Ama Dablam Expedition?

We recommend beginning a fitness programme at least 8–12 weeks before your trek. Focus on: cardiovascular endurance (running, cycling, swimming), leg strength (squats, lunges, stair climbing), and practice hikes with a loaded daypack. Aim to hike for 5–6 hours continuously on at least one weekend per month. The fitter you are, the more you will enjoy the experience.

Do I need travel insurance for the Ama Dablam Expedition?

Yes — comprehensive travel insurance is mandatory. Your policy must cover high-altitude trekking up to high altitude, emergency helicopter evacuation, medical expenses, and trip cancellation. We strongly recommend purchasing insurance before you travel. Helicopter rescues in the Himalayas can cost USD 5,000–15,000 — do not trek without coverage. We can recommend reputable providers if needed.

Do I need a visa to visit Nepal?

Most nationalities require a tourist visa to enter Nepal. It is available on arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport (Kathmandu) and at several land border crossings. A 30-day visa costs USD 50 (single entry), a 15-day visa costs USD 30, and a 90-day visa costs USD 125. You will need a valid passport with at least 6 months validity, two passport-size photos, and the visa fee in cash (USD preferred). Citizens of India do not require a visa.

What should I pack for the Ama Dablam Expedition?

Essential packing items include: waterproof trekking boots (worn in before the trek), layered clothing (base layer, fleece, down jacket), waterproof jacket and trousers, trekking poles, a 40-litre daypack, sun hat and buff/balaclava, sunglasses (UV400 or higher), sunscreen (SPF 50+), water purification tablets or a filter, and a basic first aid kit. We provide a comprehensive packing list with your booking confirmation. Gear can also be rented in Kathmandu if needed.
