Mt. Ama Dablam has been considered the
prettiest mountain in the world. High on her Southwest
face hangs a glacier resembling a 'Dablam' - the sacred
ornament box worn by ladies in the Sherpa community. It
was this spectacular feature that got her the name "Ama
Dablam". She lies alongside Everest in the heart of the
Khumbu valley offering a superb diversions close up view
of Mt Lhotse, Mt. Makalu, Mt. Cho Oyu and Mt. Everest.
If you have previous climbing experience and wish to
participate fully as a team member of an expertly led
expedition to one of the world's most impressive
mountain then climbing expedition to Ama Dablam is the
best suited. This Mountain is a technically demanding
mountain for climbing in Nepal. It is considered an
ornament of the Himalayas in Nepal. Although the height
is only 6812m Ama Dablam expedition requires steep ice,
rock and snow climbing. Normally, three camps are set in
Ama Dablam climbing above the base camp (4,570m),
however, only two camps are used to spend the nights.
The normal route for climbing is South-West Ridge. The
ascent from Base Camp to camp 1st is considered one the
difficult days of the expedition
Experience Required: All
climbers need to have good skills on rock and ice
climbing and technically competent. On most parts of the
routes there will be fixed rope, however, the climbers
should posses skills of climbing through steep rock and
hard compact ice. We follow the standard South West
ridge route (normal route) to the top, as it is consider
the safe route, free from the objective danger such as
avalanche and so on. The route we follow begins at Lukla
(2850m) and the initial days of the trek pass through
the legendary Sherpa country up the spectacular high
valley of the Khumbu. Most of the route on the actual
climbing is fixed with no icefall or glacier to
negotiate, and most of it is concentrated on the crest
of a ridge. The climb is relatively safe though exposed
and sheep and not really a mountain for debutantes.
