Trip Overview

Ama Dablam Mountain rises to 6,856 meters in the Khumbu area, south of Mount Everest. The massive Ama Dablam, referred to as the "Matterhorn of the Himalayas," dominates the sky above trekkers as they make their way to Everest Base Camp.

The third most sought-after Himalayan peak for authorized expeditions is Ama Dablam, also known as "The Mother's Jewel Box," because the glacier looks like it is hanging like a jewel box from the mountain. In 1961, Ward (UK), Bishop (USA), and Gill (NZ) made a successful attempt by traveling to the southwest.

The Ama Dablam Expedition is very challenging. Pure rock climbing on gorgeous granite makes up the first part of the route's ascent, followed by mixed snow and rock climbing. The mountaineers must navigate challenging ice cliffs and severe snow terrain on one of their climbing routes.  You may enjoy amazing vistas of the Himalayas, including Mt. Everest, Mt. Makalu, Mt. Lhotse (above 8,000 m), and many other summits, thanks to the Ama Dablam Expedition.

You can easily complete the Ama Dablam Expedition with skilled mountaineers and guides.

Day 09

Trek across the Dudh Kosi River to Pangboche. Ascend the path that leads to Ama Dablam Base Camp. Around 15,000 feet is the altitude of the Base Camp (4,570m). Spend the day at Base Camp to adjust to the altitude and make additional plans.

Day 10

An expedition leader works with the rest of the crew to organize the ascent and establish the foundation for the ascent based on previous expedition experience. Spending a few days at the Base Camp may be used for food preparation, acclimatization, and honing rope and other mountain climbing techniques. The following would be typical: Set up Base Camp first, then follow the conventional route to Camp 1 at 5,700m (17,400 feet). 

Acclimatization is often accomplished by spending one night at Camp 1 before returning to Base Camp to make final summit preparations. Three camps are located above the base camp before you reach the summit. Technically speaking, the ascent from Base Camp to Camp 1 is challenging. From Camp 1, follow the current fixed lines. 

For both ascent and descent, replace the ropes as necessary. Ice and mixed climbing make up most of the route from Camp 2 to Camp 3. From Camp 3 to the top, the ascent is not too difficult. You should be able to climb the peak before returning to Base Camp by Day 26. Stay the night in the camp.
