Before we reach the AmaDablam Base camp, we will come across a small lake. It is a large grassy meadow with a stream flowing from the middle of the meadow. AmaDablam is one of the most loved and admired mountains in Khumbu. The fact that one can walk right to its foothill and absorb the aura of the mountain is a real gift of Mother Nature. Later, return to Pangboche for an overnight stay.
