Ama Dablam, 27-day expedition in Nepal

Experience one of the world’s peak climbing expeditions on the Himalayan mountain of Ama Dablam.

Standing in the east of Nepal, in the Everest area, the Ama Dablam stretches to 6,856 meters culminating in its pyramid peak.

Standing among such world-class names like the Matterhorn and the Alpamayo, the Ama Dablam is one of the most striking and stunning mountains in the world.

And despite its “small” size compared with the giants of the world, is it one of the most popular summit to climb.

The inspiring mountainous landscape blends with the rich and mystical culture of the Sherpas who call the Khumbu region home. In the language of the Sherpas, Ama Dablam roughly translates as Mother Medallion, or Mother Treasure Box.

The mountain is steeped in mysticism and religion. One of the most influential Nepalese Buddhist monasteries sites on the neighbouring mountain of Tengboche (3,870m). From here, incredible views of its brother peak of Ama Dablam strengthens the spiritual sanctity of the region.

First conquered in 1961 by an expedition lead by Edmund Hillary, who was also the first person to conquer Everest, Ama Dablam was thought to be unconquerable.

The route will retrace the original steps of Edmund and his team along the south ridge. After easy terrain to reach the first camp, we take a difficult slope, reach a steep ridge, and tackle a steep slab.

To reach the second camp we’ll climb past difficult slabs and ridges before mastering a snow-covered slope that ends in a snowy ridge. All difficult sections of the climb will be safely secured with fixed ropes.

Finally, standing in the way of us and the spectacular summit is a steep ice wall and a 500-metre slope at 50 degrees.
