The Ama Dablam Expedition offers an unforgettable adventure! Trekking through the stunning Khumbu Valley and experiencing the rich Sherpa culture, combined with the challenge of climbing, makes this journey truly unique.
Standing at 6,812 m, Ama Dablam is one of the Himalayas’ most striking peaks and the third most popular expedition mountain. Its name, meaning “Mother’s Necklace,” comes from the long ridges on either side that resemble a mother’s arms embracing her child, along with the iconic hanging glacier that drapes the mountain like a jewel.
