Ama Yangri Trek - 3 Days

Trek Overview

The Ama Yangri Trek is among Nepal's most rewarding short treks, offering you breathtaking Himalayan views, rich cultural immersion, and a serene retreat within just 3 days.

Located in the Helambu region, the trek makes its way through remote Tamang villages, forests, and grassy alpine meadows to reach the summit of Ama Yangri Peak (3,771 m). With nearby trekking trails like the Langtang Trek, this Ama Yangri trek route provides a sensational alternative as a short excursion close to Kathmandu.

Your journey on the Ama Yangri Trek from Kathmandu begins with a 4–5 hour drive in the scenic beauty of Tarkeghyang, a Tamang village nestled in the Helambu valley. There, your actual trek starts as you ascend through idyllic scenery and unspoiled forests.

The highest point of the trek is the Ama Yangri summit, where Langtang Lirung, Dorje Lakpa, Ganesh Himal, and even Tibet's Mt. Shishapangma welcome you with open arms on a clear day.

In contrast to longer, more demanding treks, Ama Yangri is suitable for beginners and perfect for solo travelers, families, or anyone looking for a quick Himalayan retreat. You can also pair this trip with other gems of the region, like Gosaikunda Lake or the Tamang Heritage Trail.

What sets this trek apart is the combination of ease and cultural immersion. With the trail being near Kathmandu, you are exposed to the Himalayas without spending weeks on the trail, making the Ama Yangri Trek route a hidden gem for those short on time but eager for adventure.

Our Ama Yangri Trek package at Himalayan Recreation is designed to make your journey hassle-free and enjoyable. Everything is included in our package cost, from transport, accommodation, food, to trekking permits, and a qualified guide.
