Ama Dablam is a mountain in the Himalayas range of eastern Nepal. Ama Dablam is regarded as one of the world’s most beautiful and sought-after peaks, alongside the Matterhorn and Khan Tengri. The main peak is 6,812 meters (22,349 ft), the lower western peak is 6,170 meters (20,243 ft). Ama Dablam means “Mother’s necklace”; the long ridges on each side like the arms of a mother (ama) protecting her child, and the hanging glacier thought of as the Dablam, the traditional double-pendant containing pictures of the gods, worn by Sherpa women. For several days, Ama Dablam dominates the eastern sky for anyone trekking to Mt Everest base camp and the Khumbu region. Amadablam expedition offers a moderately superb, technical climbing opportunity to ascend moderately technical, but very climbable snow, ice, and rock surrounded by stunning Himalayan views in a magnificent setting, with numerous cultural and scenic diversions.
The experienced mountaineer will find the South-East Ridge, which is the easiest route on the mountain, a good challenge. Although the height is only 6812m, it is considered one of the technically difficult expeditions in Nepal. The climbers need to have good skills in rock and ice climbing and be technically competent. On most parts of the routes, there will be fixed rope, however, the climbers should posses skills to climb through steep rock and hard water ice, and for the climbers who are climbing for the first time, we recommend acclimatizing on different trekking peaks like Island peak, Mera peak or Labuche East peak. Our itinerary is just a guideline and is subject to change at your preference.
