Ama Dablam Expedition 2023/2024

Ama Dablam Expedition 2023/2024 Overview

Mount Ama Dablam of 6,812-meter altitude is a popular mountain of the Everest region renowned for its beautiful outlook deriving its name from the glacier of the southwest face. The glacier resembles a jewel box hanging on the neck of the mountain which further resembles the jewel box necklace on the neck of Himalayan Sherpa women. So the mountain was given name as My Mother’s Jewel box necklace in locale language leading to the name as Ama Dablam where Ama is Mother and Dablam is a jewel box.

The Ama Dablam Expedition is an exciting mountain climbing ascending over one of the most wanted Himalayas of the Everest region. Mount Ama Dablam is a renowned mountain for its beautiful looks for a long time. Mount Ama Dablam looks like a pyramid of ice with sharp ridges. The mountain is difficult in climbing due to its steep snow and ice glacier lying over a rocky foundation. The ascend to the top is made through the South-west ridge route. The Ama Dablam Expedition is scheduled with three high camps beside the first base camp. The climbing to High-camp1 is easy climbing as a regular mountaineering expedition ending at High-Camp2. The route from High-Camp2 is mostly covered with steep alleyways of rock, snow, ice glacier, ice tunnel going over the ridge of snow that takes the climbers to High-Camp3. The climb from Camp3 is a steep climb towards the huge hanging glacier of the mountain or the Dablam which is a bergschrund. The final landing on the top is a long steep climb over the snow and ice glacier to the summit. The summit of Mount Ama Dablam has rewarding views of Mount Everest, Mount Lhotse, Island Peak, Mount Makalu, Khumbu Himalayas, and the rest of the surrounding mountains.
