Hi everyone,

My partner and I are planning to do the Ama Yangri trek as our first trek together, and we’re both pretty new to traveling and trekking in general. I’m a bit more flexible, but my partner would prefer something comfortable and not too intense.

We’re thinking of going in early May—would that be a good time?

We’d really appreciate any advice on:

• How to get there from Kathmandu
• Whether we should go independently or with a guide
• Accommodation options (something a bit comfortable if possible)
• What to expect in terms of difficulty

Any beginner-friendly tips would mean a lot. Thanks in advance!

Hey guys,

Planning a quick 1N/2D trip from Kathmandu in early May and I’m stuck between Ama Yangri and Sailung.

Ama Yangri looks super tempting because of the sunrise views and the whole Langtang/Ganesh Himal panorama. But I’ve also heard Sailung has really nice green hills and a more chill vibe.

I don’t mind a bit of a climb, but I also don’t want something too hectic since it’s just a short trip. Mainly going for good views, some peace, and a break from the city.
