Ama Dablam, at 6,812 meters (22,349 ft), is one of the most iconic peaks in the Himalayas, located in the Everest region of Nepal. Its sharp pyramid shape and hanging glaciers make it a jewel of the Khumbu. Often called the “Matterhorn of the Himalayas,” Ama Dablam is a dream climb for mountaineers and one of the most technical climbing peaks in the world.
The South-West Ridge route is the classic and most popular path to the summit. Climbers face steep ice, rock, and snow sections, fixed rope ascents, and narrow ridges, making this an exciting but demanding climb. Three high camps are usually established above Base Camp:
From Camp III, climbers make the final push to the summit with spectacular views of Everest (8848m), Lhotse (8516m), Makalu (8463m), Island Peak, and the Khumbu Himalayas.
Ama Dablam is often chosen as a stepping-stone expedition for climbers aiming for 8000m peaks, but it requires solid mountaineering skills and previous experience.
Your expedition begins with a warm welcome at Tribhuvan International Airport. Our representative transfers you to your hotel, where you meet the team and enjoy a welcome Nepali dinner. A short briefing prepares you for the days ahead.
Today is dedicated to preparing for the climb. You’ll review your personal gear with the expedition leader, finalize equipment rentals, and complete permit formalities. The rest of the day is free for last-minute shopping in Thamel.
You visit the Department of Tourism for the mandatory government briefing and meet the assigned liaison officer. After reviewing the climbing plan and safety protocols, enjoy the evening relaxing at your hotel.
A thrilling mountain flight to Lukla marks the true start of your adventure. After meeting the trekking crew, begin your gentle descent along the Dudh Koshi River, passing small Sherpa settlements and prayer walls. Overnight in Phakding.
Follow the river valley into Sagarmatha National Park before climbing steadily through pine forests and suspension bridges. The trail rises steeply to Namche Bazaar—the vibrant Sherpa capital. Overnight lodge.
A crucial rest day to help your body adapt. Take a short hike to Syangboche, Everest View Hotel, or Khumjung for panoramic views of Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam. Explore Namche’s market, museums, and coffee shops.
Descend to the river before climbing steadily through lush rhododendron forests to the hilltop monastery of Tengboche. Enjoy stunning views of Ama Dablam dominating the skyline. Overnight lodge.
