Ama Dablam Expedition is one of the most famous ongoing Expedition. Situated in the Khumbu Himal en route to Everest Base Camp, Ama Dablam (6,812m) is regarded as one of the most beautiful mountains in the Himalaya. In Sherpa dialect, the name ‘Ama Dablam’ means “Mother’s necklace”, reflecting the distinct shape of the mountain: the long, graceful sweep of the ridges on each side stretching out like the arms of a mother (ama) protecting her child. And the hanging glacier below the summit forming the Dablam, the traditional double-pendant containing pictures of the gods, worn by Sherpa women.
The approach to Ama Dablam Expedition offers climbers fantastic views and a wonderful base camp in a meadow with a stream. From the Base Camp, you can clearly see Lhotse, Lhotse Shar, Makalu, Cho-Oyu & Everest . Close views of Nuptse, Baruntse & Pumori can be enjoyed from the summit.
Normally the climb is completed in less than 4 weeks but we do add an extra few days to allow for unexpected bad weather.
Expedition Himalaya has one of the most experienced teams of mountaineering guides in Nepal. We have both international and local Sherpa guides who have guided several climbers to the summit and back. We will handle all the logistics (permits, domestic flights. entrance fees, accommodation, etc.) while you are in the mountain. You can expect a safe and hassle-free adventure with Expedition Himalaya.
If you have climbed a mountain (above 6000 meters) or two and have done some rock climbing, you will have no problem getting on top of this beautiful mountain. AmaDablam is a technical mountain involving steep ascents on rock, snow, and ice. Although its elevation is just 6812 meters, the route to the summit is tough and challenging. Low levels of oxygen make the climb more difficult.
Climb, hike or walk in a high-altitude environment carrying a heavy backpack. Include strength-building and endurance exercises in your daily fitness regimen. Practice rock or wall climbing. Take care of your diet and prepare yourself mentally.
Preparing for a challenging expedition requires assembling a comprehensive array of essential gear, encompassing a durable backpack, weather-resistant tent, cozy sleeping bag with an insulated sleeping pad, and a reliable stove for cooking sustenance on the go; navigation tools like a map, compass, and GPS device ensure a safe journey, while a well-stocked first aid kit, emergency shelter, and multi-tool provide security in unforeseen circumstances; carefully chosen clothing layers, including waterproof rain jackets, trekking socks, and sturdy hiking boots, offer protection from the elements, complemented by trekking poles, a backpack rain cover, and dry bags for added resilience against inclement weather.
