Ama Dablam Expedition

The iconic Ama Dablam

Dominating the sky above the trekker's trail to the Everest Base Camp, Ama Dablam is the third most popular Himalayan peak for permitted expeditions. At a height of 6,856m, Ama Dablam is one of the most iconic mountains in Nepal as it towers over Tengboche monastery and the Sherpa village of Pangboche. It is also one of the best view points in the Himalayas with superb panoramic views of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Cho Oyu, Makalu and many more peaks. The mountain derives its name from the glacier lying on the neck of the mountain. The hanging glacier looks like a traditional pendant worn by the Sherpa women, hence the name Ama Dablam, literally meaning 'The Mother's necklace'.

The expedition to the summit of Ama Dablam is technically demanding comprising of steep ice and rock with exposed ridges and presents supreme challenge. This month-long expedition is suited to strong rock climbers and technically-orientated mountaineers. You will need a high level of competence ascending and descending fixed ropes and passing anchors. Southwest Ridge is the most popular route to ascend Ama Dablam where three high camps above base camp are set up along the ridge at strategic points.
