Ama Dablam is known to be one of the most spectacular mountains in the world and is a true alpinist's dream. This unforgettable climb involves a cultural trek into base camp, technical snow and ice climbing, and stunning panoramic summit views of Everest, Lhotse, and Makalu. We place three camps along the beautiful Southwest ridge where we have dramatic and exposed views of the Himalayas.

A clear stream meanders the grassy meadows at the basecamp; the striking massif of Ama Dablam looms overhead and across the valley. Mt. Taweche leers in oblique profile. At night, one can see from the camps on the mountain the lights from the villages in the Khumbu that illustrate the progress from butter lamps to hydroelectricity in recent times. Our acclimatization program is initiated in these lower villages giving us the opportunity of spending time in the homes of our Sherpa friends and an insight into the culture of these great people before tackling the heights.
