Mt. Ama Dablam is a beautiful mountain, located almost due south of Mt. Everest and Mt. Lhotse in the Khumbu region. Ama Dablam, the "Jewel of the Khumbu", is nestled in the clouds above the Tengboche monastery, in the heart of the Sherpa homeland. It is a steep pyramid of ice with vertical walls and sharp, exposed ridges. Mount Ama Dablam forms a lasting impression on many trekkers in Nepal, as it is perhaps the most stunning mountain along the popular trekking route to Everest Base Camp.
We ascend the coveted SW ridge route, a technical route with three camps above base camp.The climbing on the route involves pure rock climbing on exquisite granite followed by mixed snow and rock climbing. The last section to the summit involves ice climbing followed by a long steep snow slope up to the summit.
Our acclimatization program is initiated in lower villages which gives you the opportunity of spending time in the homes of Sherpas and learn about the culture of these people.
