Mount Ama Dablam (6,812meter/ 22,349feet) is one of the most prominent mountain peaks which lies in the Everest region of Nepal. Ama Dablam dreamt about the mountain to summit both for novices and for experienced climbers where they can test their all-climbing skills at their best.

This striking peak can be seen on the way to Everest base camp which is situated northeast of lower Pangboche village(3900m) across the Imja River. Ama Dablam literally means “mother’s necklace”, an iconic mountain which no one can be helped without noticing while trekking to Everest base camp.

Mount Ama Dablam, the first recorded ascent took place in 1961 by Sir Edmund Hillary which at first, he thought it’s unclimbable when he was here in 1951 on a British expedition.

Since its ascension, this 6812-meter-high mountain has become a great attraction among visitors as hundreds of climbers arrive at its base to summit this beautiful mountain.

The summit of mount Ama Dablam provides you a breathtaking 360-degree view of surrounding mountains which includes the world’s highest Mount Everest(8848.86 m), 3rd highest mount Kanchenjunga(8586m), 4th highest mount Lhotse(8516m), 5th highest mount Makalu(8463m), Thamserku, Khantega and many other surrounding mountains.

To inform princes of Qatar have come in recent pandemic and submitted Ama Dablam whereas he had summited Mount Everest in 2013. So, you can figure out the charm of climbing Mount Ama Dablam.

Our company has been providing all the best-customized climbing itineraries for Mount Ama Dablam Climbing according to your fitness. we also provide the best arrangements, and services accompanied by our professional licensed climbing guides who have a great amount of experience in the Nepal Himalayas for decades.

Getting to the trailhead of Mount Ama Dablam Base camp

Although you can start the journey via Jiri or Sallari taking a long time however the best option and as well as time-saving way is to take a flight to Lukla airport which only takes about 30 minutes to reach from Kathmandu airport.

Just Landed at Lukla airport for our Ama Dablam Expedition.

After landing at Lukla your actual adventure journey begins following a similar route to the Everest base camp trek until Pangboche. It takes about 5 days to reach Pangboche from Lukla including an acclimatization day in Namche Bazaar. Pangboche, which is the nearest village from where your approach trek to Ama Dablam begins.

It takes about 3 hours to reach the base camp to this iconic mountain from Pangboche. Ama Dablam base camp is situated in a lovely setting in an alpine meadow at 4600 meters (15092feet) above sea level which provides a magnificent view of the surrounding mountains.

There are two lodges and several tents during the climbing season which mark the locality of Ama Dablam base camp. The Streams running nearby through the meadow supply the main source of water for climbers and the lodges.

Acclimatization process and climbing route for Mount Ama Dablam

You have a few days of acclimatization at base camp before setting your foot on mount Ama Dablam. Then we use two camps before the summit (some use three camps) in which the process of acclimatization, rest, and recovery takes place by climbing the upper camps and back to the base camp.

When you are well acclimatized and ready for the actual Climb to the summit then we proceed to camp one (5700m.) which goes via an interim camp. This climb is mostly scrambling on rocks and rock slabs. After this, you can use fixed ropes all the way to the summit which are already fixed by Sherpa for your safety.

Camp one to camp two (6000m.) is a vertical climb mainly on rock slabs with few snow and ice sections and also pass-through technical sections of the yellow tower before reaching camp two.

The last push for the summit starts early in the morning and this section involves many vertical climbs which go through snow ridge and gully and also through the traditional camp three(6300m.) which is situated by the hanging serac. Eventually, the climbing traverses through the mushroom ridge and takes you to the summit of mount Ama Dablam(6812m).

Climbing Ama Dablam in the spring season.

The Spring season (March, April, and May) provides the most favorable weather for climbing Ama Dablam. Spring is the best time of year and also the most crowded however, this season provides a better weather window for summiting mountains. Normally the temperature remains mostly colder in the Himalayas and especially during the night time however this season is comparatively less cold than the autumn season. During the daytime, it is warmer with brighter sun and the weather normally stays clear until the afternoon thus spring season is picked by many to summit Mount Ama Dablam.

Ama Dablam Climbing in the autumn season.

The Autumn season (September, October, and November) is the second most preferable season to climb Mount Ama Dablam. Although the autumn season is a bit colder compared to the spring season however this season also provides a good weather window with a better view from the summit. In this season, the night and the morning are colder but as soon as the sun comes out it turns into a pleasant day.

Just for a reminder, early September is less recommended. The early September still has some humidity from the monsoon so the clouds built up earlier than October and November which might ruin the view from the summit

Regarding the warmth of sleeping bags, down sleeping bags are warmer than synthetic ones. you need to bring the sleeping bag that rates up to -20c and a liner just in case it feels colder.

Daypack bag

It's a daypack bag that you carry while waking where you put your wallet, camera, water bottle, rain cover, fleece jacket, and windproof jacket. Regarding the size of the daypack bag, the size of a small-medium 30 to 40-liters day bag with some side pockets where you can fit your water bottle or gloves is good. Moreover, if you can fit your Camelbak in your daily carry it is more efficient in the coldest weather as your water doesn't get freeze.

Water bottle

You can bring two water bottles in which you can drink in one and treat water in another to refill again. (Nalgene water bottle is good as you can put hot water as well if you want) you also can bring Camelbak which can be very handy for climbing.

Upper body

  • Short sleeve synthetic t-shirts*3(while trekking you sweat a lot so, synthetic t-shirts are best to bring as they are light and dry fast)
  • Wind shirts*1
  • Long sleeve Merino wool t-shirts*2
  • Synthetic insulated jacket (you can use it for climbing as well)
  • Fleece glove
  • Insulated gloves
  • Buff (trail gets very dusty with trekkers and animals passing by you so, you can use it as a mask)
  • Sunglass
  • Sun hat
  • Fleece hat
  • Rain gear or poncho.

  • Items for drinking water treatments such as Steripen, iodine tablets, chlorine liquids, or water filters. (if you using liquids or tablets it might bring a different taste in water so you can bring some juice-powder to bring a nice taste)
  • Fast drying-camp towel (most guesthouses don't provide a towel for a shower so it's good to have one)
  • body wipes (it comes in handy if you don't take shower, especially in higher altitudes where there are no showers)
  • toilet papers
  • lip bam
  • Sunscreens (minimum of SPF 40 plus as in higher altitude sunlight are direct and more penetrating.
  • Earplugs (it is handy stuff as most guest house rooms are separated by plywood. So, sometimes your next room trekkers might be noisy talkers or snores.

  • Camera
  • Medical kit (Diamox, Imodium, ibuprofen, throat lozenges, tape, scissor,

  • Headlamp or torchlight
  • Hand sanitizer
  • Trekking sticks (most people use them and it is very helpful while walking rocky trails and especially for knees going downhill.
  • Sandal

The best thing we have ever experienced! ANNAPURNA CIRCUIT

Annapurna circuit from a vague idea to departure in a few days: As we arrived in Kathmandu our hotel kindly got us in touch with Discover Altitude. We planned our itinerary and after three days we were already on our way. Santosh helped us to buy gear, since we had literally none. He also kept in touch with us all the time whenever we had even the tiniest request. We departed with our guide Amar and Porter Hari. With them it felt like visiting your family for two weeks: they took care of everything. The only thing we had to do by ourselves was walking and taking care of basic hygiene:) it felt so natural, that just now writing this review, I start to feel very sad about all of this coming to an end.
We had, what I’ve felt the best food and the best accommodation. It was all planned out through and through and we never doubted anything.
I will not write about my impressions of the trip itself and all what we have seen, which is a lot - there are not enough words to describe it. You have to experience it for yourself. All I can say about it: it is the best thing we both have ever done and it will stay in our hearts for ever. Thank you!!!
AND: What stood out to me was the warmth and respect the guys showed for each other. One example: on our way to Throng La we noticed a group of three Americans from another company. Their porters were loaded with up to 30kg each. 30KG!!!! Imagine that! We saw those poor porters stumbling up the hill and seriously putting their health at risk. When I asked Santosh, how much we could pack, he said: 15 to 17 at max for 2 ppl. In retrospect this showed me that not only they cared for us, but also for their coworkers!
As we are happy to finally get a hot shower and relax in a chair drinking a tea in Pokhara, at the same time I am devastatingly sad to part with Amar and Hari. I have to stop now, since I am getting very emotional…Annapurna circuit from a vague idea to departure in a few days: As we arrived in Kathmandu our hotel kindly got us in touch with Discover Altitude.

Get the best, forget the rest

Had a greasy time in Kathmandu, Chitwan, Pokhara, and Lumbini. Kumar and Santosh answered all questions and concerns, provided excellent guidance of area temples and Hinduism, as well as good spots for local cuisine, and where to get local made art. Pashupatinath, Monkey Temple, and Durbar Square were my favorite spots in Kathmandu. Discover Altitude also arranged my rides and accommodations for Chitwan and onto Pokhara. Can’t say enough good things about Discover Altitude. Excellent business!

Annapurna circuit 8 day trip

Discover Altitude were amazing from picking us up from Kathmandu airport at the start to finishing our stay in Nepal. Everything was organised by the company. Our guide Amar was also amazing, helping us out every step of the way on our hike.

Brilliant Team

Santosh, Kumar and our guide Amar were all fantastic - we completed an 8-day trek through part of the Annapurna circuit including Thorang La Pass (5400m) and it went incredibly smoothly thanks to the extensive knowledge and planning by the team.

Highly recommend Discover Altitude. Will definitely be using them again.

A lifetime experience with Discover Altitude

My wife and I, both 55+ years of age and reasonably healthy, were looking for a tour agency to help us trek to Namche Bazar. I came across Discover Altitude's website among others. All throughout my research for a suitable tour agent, Kumar-ji from Discover Altitude was extremely patient in answering all my never-ending questions in great detail. That's what made me pick Discover Altitude. And they didn't disappoint.

Kumar-ji and later, Santosh, were extremely helpful in helping us prepare for the trek. They gave plenty of reassurances to another couple joining us who had no prior trekking experience. Right from the moment we landed at Kathmandu until the time we left, Kumar-ji, Santosh and their team took genuinly good care of us and ensured that we had the best experience possible.

I highly recommend Discover Altitude for all your trekking needs in the beautiful Himalayas of Nepal.

The tour agency you need!

Look no further if you are looking for an agency to book a trek or anything you need in Nepal! At first, I only contacted Discover Altitude to book a jeep ticket to Bupsa where I started my Three Passes trek. At the office, Kumar and Santosh were so friendly, helpful and genuine that later I even ended up booking a porter guide with them. And they did not disappoint! The guys were checking on me all the time, they were always a phone call away if i needed anything or when I had issues like when I had to change jeep in Salleri and the jeep organiser was keep refusing me to get on the jeep as my ticket was purchased at the counter and couldn’t make extra cash on me, Kumar sorted it out from afar so I can get on the next one. They also arrange last minute flight booking on the way back, everything you need.

And Pratap, my porter guide! I even had tears when we said goodbye! He was the sweetest person ever and my motivation. He had excellent knowledge of the trail, the mountains and a great trekking companion. I usually like trekking alone and he gave me space to enjoy the surroundings alone. He wasn’t too much like other guides who literally hold your hands all the time and try to be your mum away from your mum :). I say this from previous experience at Annapurna and hearing other trekkers’ feedback of their guides, they often cut off all your interactions with locals at the lodges and leave you with no independence.

Thank you, Guys, for making my trek an unforgettable experience! Looking forward to our celebratory beers on Saturday:).
