Mount Ama Dablam Expedition involves challenging climbing over the Ama Dablam mountain. Nepal’s high mountain peaks make it one of the most remote places in the world. Trekking to the Khumbu region is a true thrill. The Ama Dablam Expedition will have memories of the best mountains that will bestow on you a lifetime of memories.
Conquer Himalayas Adventure Ama Dablam is the ‘Matterhorn of the Himalayas’ and stands tall and proud at 6812m. The fantastic mountain, considered one of Nepal’s most beautiful peaks, stands in the middle of the Khumbu Valley. The peak is unique in itself because of the sharply pointed shape and ascending peak. Summiting this peak is a dream come true for many climbers. They strive to conquer it and stand on the summit with views of Mt. Everest (8848m), Lhotse (8516m), Cho Oyu (8201m), Makalu (8481m), and other peaks.
The expedition to the Ama Dablam Peak (6,812) is demanding and presents challenges and breathtaking views. Ama Dablam Expedition requires good climbing skills to join this expedition to climb Ama Dablam.
With the southwest face representing the sacred ornament box of Sherpa women called Dablam, this is the most visually striking peak in the world. Spending a night in such a prolific mountain’s base camp is our best day.
The 30-day Ama Dablam base camp trek is a rewarding climb. You will explore the exotic Kathmandu city before flying into the remote mountain town of Lukla. Every expedition to Everest Base Camp begins from Lukla. First, we walk to the village of Phakding and then to the famous village of Namche. We stop at this spectacular village for a day. Then, we went to Pangboche before getting to the base camp of Ama Dablam.
You can climb to Camp II from the Base Camp and reach the Ama Dablam summit the next day. Here, the best views of Mount Lhotse, Mount Makalu, Mount Cho Oyu, and Mount Everest smile at us.
The mountain people’s unique Buddhist culture and lifestyle will delight you. These people practice their century-old traditions in the rawest form and live peacefully within the mountain. This trek is the perfect blend of adventure, culture, and nature. At the same time, the well-built trekking region of Ama Dablam is also well-developed, serving you with luxury and comfort. If you want a relaxing holiday with some thrill, this Ama Dablam hike is just for you.
MyEverestTrip has successfully run Ama Dablam expeditions in various parts of the Himalayas with a highly qualified team of experts and high-altitude climbers. We provide international equipment and guide you throughout the trip to minimize mishaps. Once you connect with us, we care for you throughout the journey.
The Ama Dablam expedition starts from Kathmandu, and we fly to Lukla. We gradually ascend uphill in Phakding. We enter the Sherpa capital, Namche Bazaar. We then reach the Khumbu Glacier, descend to Dingboche, and move towards Chukung Valley and Imja Tse base camp. After a night at the base camp of Ama Dablam, located at the southwest ridge, we attempt the summit. Ama Dablam consists of 3 campsites before reaching the peak. We move further up to Camp 1 (5700m) along the trails, acclimatize, and then return to base camp again. Camp 2 and Camp 3 are mostly icy and slippery. We gradually move up and adjust to the environment.
The climb from Camp 3 to the summit is less technical, and after two weeks, we summit the peak and move back to the base camp. As we drove back to our accommodation, we could see the fantastic Chukung valley, the villages, and the range of the Himalayas, including Mt. Everest (8848m), Mt. Makalu (8481m), Mt. Lhotse (8516m), and many other mountains. The journey ends when we fly back to Kathmandu from Lukla.
The 30-day Climb to Ama Dablam costs about $4,500. With so many permits, gear, and workers, mountain climbing isn’t cheap. The cost includes the guide, porter, food, accommodation, flight, and permit. Yo includes a Sheru might need $500 more for personal expenses and tips. Since this is not an actual mountain climb but a practice peak, the cost of the Ama Dablam climb is low compared to other mountain peaks above 8,000 meters.
Ama Dablam Difficulty
There are a few objective risks from the base camp to Ama Dablam Camp 1 (5800M). Climbers should cross on rough stones after arriving at Camp 1. Straight after Camp 1, heading towards Camp 2, there is a fixed line. Climbers should carry their backpacks as a porter isn’t accessible here. From here onwards, the climb begins to get harder and riskier. There are multiple hurdles before reaching Yellow Tower.
Ama Dablam Camp 2 (6100M) sits on the highest point of Yellow Tower, which is a straight 80 – 90 degrees vertical trip. It is a 60 – 70ft vertical movement at a 20000ft level that isn’t easy. Camp 2 can house around 7 to 8 tents during the bustling season. It isn’t easy to find an optimal spot.
Climb to Ama Dablam Camp 3 (6400M) on the snow and ice that gather during spring. The Ama Dablam route goes from the rear of the tower, and climbers should cross on ice or rock chunks. After heading up, there are specific rockfall risks, mainly when other climbing groups are ahead. Rocks the size of a football (soccer) can fall, so additional consideration is required. The move-up is 70-80 degrees vertical to reach the solid edge. Most groups don’t stop at Camp Three and go to the Ama Dablam summit.
Loads of new and old fixed ropes can be found, especially while moving to the summit. Showing up underneath the pyramid, the highest point lies over the Dablam slants. Climbing further up on 55 – 65 degree slants is a straightforward walk. You can submit it in 10+ hours, assuming it is from Camp 2. The summit of Ama Dablam is vast and expansive. On a sunny morning, Mt. Everest, Makalu 8463M, and Baruntse 7129 m are seen.
Your ascension is half-done as of now. Abseiling down to camp three is direct. You must be back at Camp 2, where we plan our camp for the night.
Information on the weather in Ama Dablam is essential to planning an excellent trek to Nepal. Ama Dablam’s climate determines the ease with which you experience while trekking in a region. Nepal experiences four different seasons in the high mountains. Each of these seasons has different temperatures, vegetation, and challenges. However, trekking in different Ama Dablam weather has its perks.
Winter (December to February): Winter is when the Himalayas cover themselves with a thick layer of snow, thus looking more beautiful than they ever did. The snowfalls commence in mid-January and lasts till December. The night temperature in the Ama Dablam trek can fall below -14 degrees Celsius, while days are also freezing (- -1 degree Celsius). It’s especially harsh in the mornings and nights. It snows for about three days, and the trail is full of snow in late January and February.
Spring (March to May): This is the peak season for the Amadablam trek. After a harsh winter, the temperature starts to rise. In April, the day temperature will be about 5 degrees, while the night can still be on the brink of freezing. However, March still has snow in the higher paths. By May’s end, even the upper areas are pretty harmed. The Spring weather in the Ama Dablam trek is exceptionally stable, with no rain and snow.
Monsoon (June to September: The occasional rain in the Ama- Dablam Base Camp is experienced. The monsoon begins in mid-June and continues until mid-July. Most of the rain pours in the evening and morning. Still,
The nights are warm, with temperatures above 3 degrees Celsius and about 13 degrees during the daytime.
Autumn (September to November): Heat, clear sky, and better views of the Himal make Autumn a magical time. The rain stops after the monsoon, and nature is apparent. The temperature also remains above the melting point at night. Only in November does the night temperature in Ama Dablam fall below -2 degrees. The day temperature is about 4 degrees.
Ama Dablam Expedition, the prettiest mountain globally, is at the height of 6,812 meters, about 20 kilometres from the mighty Everest itself. The Ama Dablam base camp is at a height of 4,600 meters (15,100 feet).
March to May is the peak season for mountain climbing. Spring, with beautiful wildflower blooms and vibrant locals, makes a high season. The path is all colourful and green for your pleasant stay. Autumn is the perfect time for this rush. However, being a high season, it’s harder to find accommodation. But since our guides and porters make all the arrangements, all you should be doing is a celebration.
Different seasons in the mountains offer an utterly different trekking experience. The breathtaking views of frozen waterfalls and rivers in winter are heavenly. However, Ama Dablam’s climb in winter is not recommended. If you propose a winter trek, only go for a shorter trek on Everest with extra clothes and blankets. In Summer, the rain washes away the cloud, displaying clear views. The forests get thicker, and locals are busy on their farms. All we’d like for a monsoon trek is a flexible itinerary and boots with better grips. Trekking to Ama Dablam between June and July can be dangerous.
Ama Dablam Expedition is technical climbing too. This means ropes, ice axes, crampons, ice screws, cams, and jumars. The rock climbing can be 5.7, and the ice, WF4. You need to have ice and rock climbing experience plus some high-altitude experience. My personal experience was challenging but not impossible. Climbing the rock and ice of Ama Dablam is challenging. So. it helps if you have previous experience in high-altitude trekking.
Yes, Absolutely. Only attempt Ama Dablam once you get the proper experience of high-altitude treks. Also, prearrange the logistics for emergencies. 6 climbers were killed in November 2006 when part of the sizeable distinctive serac (the Dablam) collapsed, hitting Camp 3. The Dablam further collapsed in late 2008. As of 2012, teams continue to climb without serious incidents, but many choose to by bass Camp 3 and have a very long day from Camp 2 to the summit.
By Nepalese regulation, a high-elevation trek, i.e., above 6000M+, needs a special permit and a guide. To get a permit for Ama Dablam climbing, you should go through a local travel agency in Nepal like MyEverestTrip. We exceptionally recommend climbing the top with guides for climbers of all levels. An endeavor of such nature requires strength, experience, equipment, and equipped and reliable climbing Sherpas.
