The Ama Dablam Expedition 2025 with AltiNepal Treks is designed for experienced climbers who want a technical, elegant Himalayan peak without the chaos of the 8000ers. Often called the “Matterhorn of the Himalaya,” Ama Dablam stands high above the Khumbu Valley as a perfect pyramid of rock, snow, and ice visible from almost every classic Everest viewpoint.
Your journey starts in Kathmandu, followed by a flight to Lukla and a classic approach through Phakding, Namche, Khumjung, and Pangboche. The trek itself is already a highlight, with monasteries, spinning prayer wheels, suspension bridges, and constant views of Everest and Ama Dablam drawing closer each day.
At Ama Dablam Base Camp (~4,570 m), you shift from trekker to climber. Under the guidance of professional technical mountain guides and Sherpa climbers, you spend several days on pre-climb training, safety briefings, and equipment checks. Rotation climbs and load carries up to higher camps allow your body to adapt and build familiarity with the route.
The summit push follows the traditional route through Camp 1 and Camp 2, tackling mixed rock, snow, and exposed ridges that have made Ama Dablam legendary in the mountaineering world. The climb is steep, technical, and incredibly rewarding with jaw-dropping views of Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, and the entire Khumbu.
After the summit window, a helicopter flight from Base Camp to Kathmandu brings you quickly and comfortably back to the capital, where the expedition ends with a well-earned farewell celebration.
This is a serious mountaineering objective, crafted for climbers who respect the mountain, value professional logistics, and want to climb Ama Dablam the right way with a strong local team, solid planning, and safe pacing.
