Before climbing Ama Dablam, it would be unfair if you did not describe its beauty yourself to others. The trekkers shed their tears looking at Ama Dablam from the trekking trail. It is their tears of joy. There is no trekker, who can’t say no to the features of Ama Dablam, and they can’t take their eyes off its beauties at the various points of the trekking. The itinerary of Ama Dablam includes the trekking trail of the Everest Base Camp Trek. It is similar to Pheriche, becomes off the beaten from there, and shows you the breathtaking view of Makalu and Lhotse. When it comes to trekking in the different corners of Nepal, you should know about the mountain you will see because some of them are famous worldwide. Ama Dablam will always be the major highlight of the Everest Base Camp Trek for many travel writers, who will describe it in their style to the world.

The shape of Ama Dablam resembles the shape of the pyramid, and this shape is the gift of nature. Its summit is composed of granite, and its pointed peak is eye-catching. Three camps are set up during the Ama Dablam Expedition. The itinerary of Ama Dablam includes the climbing route that will take you to the rocky area, crevasses, glaciers, and cliffs.

Mountaineers usually have to pitch three high camps on their way to mount Ama Dablam. The standard ascent to Ama Dablam is made via the South-Western Ridge, the same route followed by Ward (UK), Bishop (USA), and Gill (NZ) in the first ascent of the mountain in 1961. The course offers a varied and sustained climb with moderate difficulty. Three high camps are set up at strategic points. The climb is reasonable up to Camp I; it gets challenging along the narrow granite ridge. To reach the first camp from base camp, climbers pass the toughest saddle ridges, then turn north, climbing up through the rocky ground and boulders before they reach Camp I. Negotiating pitches of steep ice and snow slopes, the route gets more technical from Camp II. The climbing route from Camp II is primarily steep, with mixed alleyways of rock, ice and snow. The trail leads to a sloping climb to the snow ground and then passes through steep snow and ice tunnel along the snow ridge to reach Camp III. From the third camp, our mountaineers will skirt around the hanging glacier - a sharp ridge and a gap or crevasse at the edge between the ice cliffs and scale the summit. From the top of mount Ama Dablam the very charming sceneries of Lhotse (27,883 ft/8,498 m), Everest (29,035 ft./8,850 m) and Makalu  (27,838 ft./8,485 m), Khumbu Himalayan and the rest of the snowcapped mountains can be envisioned. After scaling the summit, we return to the base camp. Standing at the world's most prominent peak is a glorious experience, but it doesn’t come easy!  Thin Air, excessive wind, gale, harsh weather conditions, rapid climate change, high altitude and vivid situations are some of the variables that shape the experience of scaling Mt. Ama Dablam. But fear not! Let us support you in making your Mt. Ama Dablam dream come true! Join the ultimate challenge!

Our expert team of Sherpas will provide you with all the required support, including your acclimatisation need.
