The Ama Dablam Expedition is considered to be the world’s most technical climb in the Himalayas, offering the ultimate challenge for experienced climbers. The unique, sharply pointed shape of the Ama Dablam peak in Nepal makes it one of the most impressive peaks to conquer, with unbeatable summit views of Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Cho Oyu, and Makalu, among others.

To participate in the Ama Dablam Expedition, climbers must have excellent rock and ice climbing skills and be technically competent. The climb is demanding and presents every type of challenge imaginable, including ice, rock, scrambling, and breathtaking views. The expedition starts from a well-situated base camp in a meadow with a stream and follows the standard South West ridge route, considered the safest and free from most dangers such as avalanches.

The climb begins with proper acclimatization on the way to the expedition base camp. At base camp, climbers will find food, logistics, and all the required climbing gear. From there, the climb continues on the southwest ridge, over boulder fields, slabs, cairns, and gullies to reach Camp 1 at 5700 meters. From Camp 1, climbers follow the east side of the ridge, continuing on narrow crests and traverses until they reach the west side of the hill. A short, challenging pitch leads to Camp II, a narrow camping space. The climb continues on the ridge, passing through crevasses, to reach the summit.

The best and safest time to climb Ama Dablam is in the autumn/fall. The expedition is led by the most experienced climbing guides and includes supplementary oxygen for climbers and guides, expedition training at base camp, and fixed departure group joining dates. All meals, tea, and coffee are included, as well as a hassle-free all-inclusive adventure that includes permits. The base camp is an environmentally-friendly tented camp with solar power.
