Trip Overview

Amadablam (6812m), which is considered as the prettiest mountain in the world, hangs a glacier resembling a ‘Dablam’ – the sacred ornament box worn by ladies in the Sherpa Community. This beautiful peak lies alongside Everest in the heart of Khumbu Valley. The route we follow begins from Lukla (2850m). The climb is relatively safe in compare to other peak climbing in Nepal. But still the climb requires a strong mountaineering back ground and previous high altitude experience due to its vertical walls and sharp exposed ridges. The common route to climb Amadablam is from its south - west ridge. From base camp at 4500m , we will have to establish a minimum of three camps on the mountain to reach its peak. Base Camp to Camp 1: To reach the first camp from base camp, the climbers have to pass the toughest and the difficult passing through the difficult saddle ridges; and then should turn to the north climbing up through the rocky ground and through the boulder. Camp 1 to Camp 2: From Camp I - one has to cross the rocky bowl and should climb the ridge via to the fixed lines to Camp II.  From Camp II after crossing over severe rocks and ridge which lead you to a camp 2. Camp 2 to Camp 3: The climbing route from Camp II is mostly with the steep mixed alley ways of rock & ice and snow. The route leads to the slope climb to snow ground and then passes through steep snow and ice tunnel then finally along the snow ridge go to Camp III Summit.  From here to the summit is steep climb on snow and ice to the right of a huge hanging glacier. Finally you reach the peak from where very charming sceneries of Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Island peak, Makalu, Khumbu Himal and rest of the snowcapped surrounded mountains can be seen.
