Amadablam
has been considered the prettiest mountain in the world.
High on her Southwest face hangs a glacier resembling a
'Dablam' - the sacred ornament box worn by ladies in the
Sherpa community. It was this spectacular feature that got
her the name "Ama Dablam". She lies alongside
Everest in the heart of the Khumbu valley offering a superb
diversions close up view of Mt Lhotse, Mt. Makalu, Mt. Cho
Oyu and Mt. Everest. If you have previous climbing experience
and wish to participate fully as a team member of an expertly
led expedition to one of the world's most impressive mountain
then climbing expedition to Ama Dablam is the best suited.
This Mountain is a technically demanding mountain for climbing
in Nepal. It is considered an ornament of the Himalayas
in Nepal. Although the height is only 6812m Ama Dablam expedition
requires steep ice, rock and snow climbing. Normally, three
camps are set in Ama Dablam climbing above the base camp
(4,570m), however, only two camps are used to spend the
nights. The normal route for climbing is South-West Ridge.
The ascent from Base Camp to camp 1st is considered one
the difficult days of the expedition
Experience Required: All climbers need to have good skills on rock and ice climbing and technically competent. On most parts of the routes there will be fixed rope, however, the climbers should posses skills of climbing through steep rock and hard compact ice. We follow the standard South West ridge route (normal route) to the top, as it is consider the safe route, free from the objective danger such as avalanche and so on. The route we follow begins at Lukla (2850m) and the initial days of the trek pass through the legendary Sherpa country up the spectacular high valley of the Khumbu. Most of the route on the actual climbing is fixed with no icefall or glacier to negotiate, and most of it is concentrated on the crest of a ridge. The climb is relatively safe though exposed and sheep and not really a mountain for debutantes.
