Ama Dablam can be found in Nepal’s lower Khumbu Valley dominating all the other mountain peaks. The typical route to Ama Dablam involves taking a flight from Katmandu to Lukla and continuing on to trek further.
Ama Dablam’s 30-day expedition provides an opportunity to explore the stunning mountains rising to a height of 6,812 meters in the eastern Himalayas and the wilderness of nature throughout the expedition. The Ama Dablam 30-day expedition will start in Kathmandu where you can expect a pick/-up at the airport and transportation to your accommodation. Later, as per your choice, you will get to rest or have the chance to spend some time touring the enchanting city of Kathmandu at the start of the journey. There are many temples, interesting cultural sites, and world heritages to explore in Kathmandu. The ascent to the mountain will start the next day when We take a flight to Lukla and start trekking. During this expedition, we will stop at various settlements along the way and after hiking for several days, we will eventually ascend the summit of Ama Dablam.
Ama Dablam literally translates to “Mother’s necklace” in the sherpa language. Ama translates to Mother and the hanging glacier is called Dablam (a traditional double-pendant containing pictures of the gods, worn by Sherpa women) because the mountain’s sweeping ridges resemble the arms of a mother (ama) shielding her kid. In addition, the intimidating, ice-coated granite pyramid of Ama Dablam Trek often known as the ‘Matterhorn of Nepal’ towers over trekkers as they make their way to the Everest Base Camp. Before starting our ascent of Ama Dablam, we hike along the lovely Everest path. The South-Western Ridge is the path typically taken to ascend Ama Dablam but it can be a steady climb with a variety of ascents and a manageable degree of difficulty.
The ascent is easy until Camp 1, after which it becomes difficult as it continues up the rough granite ridge. The path becomes more technical after Camp 2 and requires negotiating steep ice and snow slope pitches. From Camp 3, circumnavigate the hanging glacier or the Dablam, traverse a snow arête and a bergschrund between ice cliffs, and then climb to the summit. We descend to base camp after reaching the summit.
