Ama Yangri Trek -3Days

Ama Yangri trek (3 days) package information 

Arrival, Welcome, and trek start

When you arrive at Tribhuvan International Airport, our representative will be there to greet you. They will be holding a sign with your name on it and will welcome you with a traditional marigold garland or khada. Afterward, they will drive you to your hotel in a private car. We request you arrive in Kathmandu by 4 pm one day before the trek departure. This gives us the final preparation. We will pick you up at your hotel. The adventure officially begins with a scenic drive to Tarkeghyang, the starting point of the Ama Yangri Trek, according to the package.

Accommodations 

During the trek, you’ll stay in lodges and teahouses, featuring private bathrooms and standard rooms (whenever available). Electricity for charging devices, Wi-Fi access, and hot showers are generally available in most lodges, though they may require an extra fee. You need to stay in Kathmandu before and after the trek, but this is not included in the package.

Meals 

We provide three standard meals throughout the trek. The menu changes depending on how high you are; at higher altitudes, there will be fewer alternatives. We suggest different teas, garlic soup, and fresh veggies because it's crucial to stay hydrated at high elevations. For your health, we suggest that you stay away from dairy, meat, and drinks that have alcohol or caffeine in them. This bundle does not include hot, cold, or alcoholic drinks.

Luggage 

We will provide two trekkers for one porter during the trek. The total weight limit for the porter is 20 kg, which means each trekker has a 10 kg luggage allowance. Hence, team up with a fellow traveler and pack your things in a duffle bag of over sixty liters. We expect you to only carry a small personal backpack for your essentials like a camera, water, snacks, and valuables. You can leave any extra bags at your hotel or at our Kathmandu office for free.

Facilities and Essentials 

Water 

You can buy a water bottle from shops along the trail or get boiled/filtered water at lodges. It is advised to bring a refillable water bottle and fill it up with boiled water. Avoid drinking untreated tap, well, or river water. For safety, please use a water purifying tablet, or you can buy one in the shops along the trail. 

Communication

We will provide you with a SIM card in Kathmandu and teach you how to get data and recharge cash on it, but mobile signals may be weak at higher altitudes. For your safety, our lead guide keeps daily contact with all trekking teams via mobile. We are fully prepared to handle emergencies, and our guides are trained to assist whenever needed. Additionally, we use walkie-talkies and satellite phones in areas with no network to ensure constant communication.

Travel Essentials

Visa 

Foreigners require a visa to enter Nepal, but Indians don't. Most people can get a visa when they arrive at Kathmandu International Airport. The current fee is USD 50 for 30 days, payable in cash. Citizens of China and SAARC countries receive a free visa. Also, we recommend you to inform your country embassy or consulate of your visit to Nepal and your travel partner here

Travel insurance 

Having comprehensive travel insurance is mandatory for this trek. Your policy must cover medical expenses and emergency helicopter rescue up to an altitude of 3,500 meters. Before the trek begins, you will need to provide us with a copy of your insurance policy.

Currency Exchange

The Nepali Rupee (NPR) is the country's official currency; one US dollar is equivalent to around 130 NPR. In Kathmandu, you may find banks and an approved money exchange center where you can exchange major foreign currencies.  ATMs are widely available to withdraw NPR, but extra service fees may apply. Make sure your notes are new and undamaged, as old or torn bills may be refused. Only the 100 INR note from India is legally accepted in Nepal. Before traveling to trekking regions, it's best to exchange money in Kathmandu, as there are few exchange options in remote areas.

Extra Expense

While our package covers most of your expenses during the trek, you will need to budget for some personal items like meals and accommodation in Kathmandu, visa fees, snacks, hot showers, personal equipment, tips for the crew, etc. We recommend you budget approximately $20 USD per day for these personal expenses during the trek.

Trek Season and Weather Conditions 

The Ama Yangri Trek offers stunning views in every season. In spring (March–May), trekkers enjoy blooming rhododendrons, lush forests, and clear panoramas of Ama Yangri, Langtang, and Ganesh Himal, with mild daytime temperatures around 10–20°C. Summer/monsoon (June–August) brings lush green valleys and misty mountains, though occasional rain may obscure distant peaks; temperatures range from 15 to 25°C. During autumn (September–November), skies are clear, offering crisp, spectacular views of the Himalayan ranges, ideal for photography, with temperatures between 10 and 22°C. In winter (December–February), snow-dusted landscapes and tranquil trails provide pristine and quiet scenery, with temperatures from 0–10°C, though higher altitudes may drop below freezing. Each season gives a unique perspective of Nepal’s natural beauty while trekking to Ama Yangri

Typical day 

We'll eat breakfast early every morning. The day's hike is normally broken up into two parts: a three- to four-hour hike in the morning, a one-hour lunch break, and then a shorter hike in the afternoon. Around 7:00 p.m., dinner is served, and your guide will go over the schedule for the next day with you. The rest of the evening is yours to relax, see the settlement, or hang out with the other trekkers.
