Overview

If you're seeking an exhilarating challenge that blends stunning beauty with technical climbing, Ama Dablam should be at the top of your bucket list. Standing at 6,812 meters (22,349 feet), this majestic peak is often called the "Matterhorn of the Himalayas" due to its distinctive pyramid shape and towering presence in the Everest region of Nepal.

Ama Dablam is not just a feast for the eyes; it's a true test for climbers. The mountain presents a perfect mix of demanding rock, ice, and snow climbing, requiring strong mountaineering skills and determination. The ascent involves a variety of challenges, including steep ridges, exposed sections, and technical ice and mixed terrain—yet it offers some of the most rewarding views in the world. From the summit, you'll have a panoramic view of the Khumbu region, including Mount Everest, Lhotse, and Makalu, making every step worth the effort.

This expedition is ideal for climbers who have experience in high-altitude environments and are ready to push their limits. Join our team of experienced guides, and take on Ama Dablam for an adventure you’ll remember for a lifetime. The mountain, the challenge, the camaraderie—it’s all waiting for you! Will you answer the call?
