Ama Dablam Expedition and Mt. Dablam climbing is fascinating and exciting because it is the most beautiful mountain in Everest region and greatly challenged peak of 6912m. The meaning of Himalaya Ama Dablam is “Mother’s Necklace” and with the long ridge on both side looks like the arms of a mother who is protecting her child. The hanging glaciers think Dablam is the traditional double pendant which contains the picture of the gods worn by Sherpa women.
Ama Dablam is dominating the eastern trekking for many more days to the Everest base camp. Necessary permission should be obtained to climb the third most popular Himalayan peak. The most popular route is the south-west ridge to climb. The climbers establish three camps along the ridge with camp 3, just below the right side of the hanging glacier. Necessary permit from the concerned department and a liaison officer is required to attempt Mt. Ama Dablam. The best season for climbing Ama Dablam is April-May and September- October.
The brave Sherpa had already climbed Mt. Ama Dablam. Ama Dablam was believed as the highest peak of the world previously. The south west ridge is the normal route to climb. Most of the armature climbers start their climbing through mountain. The previous expedition team had set up base camp at 4770m and camp 3 at 6400m to conquer the summit with great success. The trek to base camp is the most exciting with acclimatization days. To see the prominent mountains trekking in the Khumbu region is the best. Trekking to Mt. Ama Dablam we should take a flight to Lukla then to Namche Bazar, Tyangboche Monastery and Pangboche before setting up base camp.
For the safe passage rope is fixed in the route and the Sherpa climbing team place the tent in the required area. This makes your expedition more enjoyable and memorable. One more thing to be added is, the famous climber and the legend Tenjing Norgay commented that Ama Dablam is the most beautiful and challenging mountain to climb.
