Ama Dablam expedition

Mount Ama Dablam (6,812m) is one of the most popular and beautiful peaks in the Himalayas, located in the center of Everest Khumbu region. Ama Dablam is poetically named, its name translating to “Mother’s necklace”; the long ridges that extend to either side likened to a mother’s arms spread wide to gather and protect her child, and the hanging glacier likened to a “dablam”, a traditional pendant worn by Sherpa women. It is perhaps the most stunning mountain along the popular trekking route to Everest Base Camp.

Ama Dablam’s steep, exposed and icy ridges that rise vertically in front of climbers make it a difficult peak to scale. The demanding climb requires a lot of fitness and technical expertise, but a seasoned climber can handle the ascent.

Tips for the staffs

Accomodation

Rooms will be booked at Ti-se guest house in Kathmandu. During the trek, Accommodation will be in teahouses either in a single room or shared rooms according to the availability. Generally, the rooms have to be shared during peak tourist seasons because they are mostly fully booked. And during the climbing section, we accommodated a very good tent.

Meal

The tea houses are available in all the major points on this trekking route. They offer a wide variety of meals and drinks on their menu. In some places such as Namche, Lukla, Dingboche, they’re also bakeries and many different varieties of coffee. during the climbing section, we provide meals prepared by our staffs.

Best Season

The best time to trek and peak climbing is Autumn (Sept. to Dec.) and Spring (March to May). The treks and climb during Winter and Summer (monsoon) aren’t impossible but just quite challenging. For the best experience, the early and late Spring and Autumn would be preferable due to less tourist traffic.

During the early Spring, the vegetations look fresh with early flowers starting to bloom in several kinds of plants. The villages are full of activity in preparation of family farms for planting the crops. The days are generally sunny due to which they offer good scenery.

The early Autumn is fresh green after a period of warm rainy days from summer monsoon. The month-long Nepali festivals of Dashain and Tihar can also coincide and the harvest time also starts in many of the villages.

The early Winter (late Autumn) is also a very good time if one prefers lower elevations in the Himalayas.
