AmaDablam is one of the widely famous mountains among the mountain climbers. The mountain lies in the Everest Region and has a height of 6,812 meters. The path to AmaDablam summit follows the old trekking route of iconic Everest Base Camp and changes its route from Dingboche village. The trek is suited for the experienced trekkers who want to level up their voyage in the mountains. AmaDablam expedition takes around 30 days to complete the whole journey, while it also expects the climbers a good physical shape as well as mount climbing training and experiences. The pre climbing training will be given during the meantime of 30 days. The trek also consists of many rest days to acclimatize the body in the high altitude so the chances of conquering the summit increase. If the weather as well as climatic conditions are in our favor we’ll reach the summit in our 22nd day of setting off.
The expedition covers major destinations in the Everest Region where you’ll be able to enjoy tasty local foods as well as breathtaking mountain views of Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam and many other peaks. Passing different suspension bridges and walking along the banks of Dudhkoshi liver we reach the AmaDablam base camp from where our climbing starts. Our experienced guides and porters will be with you all the time to cater all your needs while you’ll only have to focus on climbing and conquering the exquisite AmaDablam. After you conquer this infamous peak there will be many other paths opened up for you as Nepal is a land of Himalayas consisting over 1000 peaks and also home to 8 peaks over 8000 meters.
As the altitude goes above 6,500 meters during the Amadablam Expeditions, trekkers need to be in a very good physical shape before embarking on the journey. Basic to Medium physical exercises are recommended to all the travellers 3-4 months prior to the expedition as well. Climbers having some experience of peak climbing before also get a major plus point. There will be many hardships along the way but the trek surely will be worth it as you taste the authentic local foods and beverages along with the grand feeling of conquering AmaDablam.
The trek begins with a short sightseeing of UNESCO world heritage sites in Kathmandu and then a flight to Lukla, one of the most thrilling airports in the world. We head to Manjo from Lukla and stay for the night with a belly full of local foods and beverages. We head to Namche Bazaar the next day, which will be around 5 to 6 hours of walk. After a long and tiring day we stay a warm lodge at Namche and take a good night’s sleep with an exciting day ahead tomorrow. The following day we continue our journey to Khumjung. The day after we get to Phortse and we move onwards to Dingboche. After wonderful day at Dingboche we reach Chukkung, climb Chhukung and be back to Dingboche.
