Ama Dablam Expedition

Ama Dablam (6,812m) is one of the  world’s most attractive mountain. The awe-inspiring ice-coated granite pyramid-like mountain soars above the Dudh Kosi River valley south of Everest and Lhotse in the Khumbu region. Mount Ama Dablam is acknowledged as a jewel of the Himalayas in Nepal. Ama Dablam climbing is relatively safe and anyone can summit it.

This unforgettable climb in the Khumbu region of Nepal involves a cultural trek up to  Everest base camp along with technical aspect of rock, snow and ice climbing experience. We must allow more time on the mountain to acclimatize properly. The route provides varied and sustained climb with reasonable level of difficulty. From the summit top you, can enjoy stunning panoramic views of Mt. Everest, Cho Oyu, Lhotse and Makalu. We fix two to three camps on the route along the beautiful south-west ridge beneath the right side of the hanging glacier.
