How long does it take to summit Mt. Ama Dablam?

Generally, the Ama Dablam Expedition takes 25-30 days for a successful summit. The duration of this climb depends on the itinerary and the physical condition of the climbers during the entire trip. Trekking to Ama Dablam Base Camp usually takes 10-12 days with acclimatization days in Namche and Dingboche. Moreover, 1-2 days will be separated for pre-climb training considering the progression of the climbers. And. Next, another 12-15 days guide you to the summit of Ama Dablam and get back to Lukla retracing the same EBC Trekking route. Therefore, give or take 25-30 days Itinerary would be perfect for climbers seeking this adventure in Everest.

Ama Dablam Climbing Route

The Mt. Ama Dablam Climbing Journey commences from Kathmandu to Lukla and follows the standard Everest Base Camp Trekking Route. From Lukla, navigate the trail through Sherpa villages like Phakding, Namche, Tengboche, and Dingbochebefore embarking on the Ama Dablam Base Camp. En route, enjoy the vibrant settlements, and immerse yourself in Sherpa Culture. Likewise, the trail delivers the sights of Mount Everest, Ama Dablam, Cho Oyu, Thamserku, Kongde Ri, Kusum Kangaru, and many more peaks.

Although most climbers trek to Ama Dablam Base Camp from Pangboche, our itinerary will take you to Dingboche for acclimatization. The route will follow from Dingboche to Ama Dablam Base Camp before the summit. The total climbing days from the base camp will be 12-15 days. There will be High Camp I, Camp II, and Camp III before pushing to the final summit. After reaching the top, capture the majestic moments and return to base camp retracing the same route. Eventually, from here get back to Lukla via Pheriche, Namche, and Lukla.

Major Camps while climbing the Mt. Ama Dablam

Advanced Ama Dablam Base Camp to Camp I (5700 meters)

The beginning of this summit to Ama Dablam starts from Advanced Base Camp to Camp I at 5700 meters. You will hike through the lush pastures exposing the views of Mt. Ama Dablam and valleys. Next, the route moves eastward navigating the frozen and grassy moraine to arrive at a highland at 5150 meters. This highland provides a stunning view of Mingo La Pass. From this highland continue climbing north as the challenging section starts to approach. Climbers have to traverse deep cracks and slabs to reach Camp I.

Camp I to Camp II (5900 meters)

The next camp will be 5900 meters from Camp I. It will be a strenuous climb compared to the previous climb to Camp I. The route involves rocky slopes scattered with high rock formations. Likewise, as you climb higher the ridge becomes narrow with several cracks on the slabs. Moreover, climbers will navigate an east face after arriving at the base of Yellow Tower. The next 15-meter pitch using the necessary fixed ropes creates a different challenge. Also, camping at Camp II is another difficult task to do as it lies in a narrow space.

Camp II to Camp III (6300 meters)

Another ascent starts from Camp II and stretches to Camp III at 6300 meters. This ascends involves more terrain with a mixture of snow and ice rocks. Likewise, the climbing route crosses a gorge between Grey Tower and a lower rock wall, dodging around a knob of red rocks before climbing down to track a ridge full of snow. Lastly, the steep snowy part of the route will test the skill of climbers due to its endless snow.

Final Summit Day to Ama Dablam (6812 meters)

This day will throw different challenges because of its high altitude and weather conditions. Also, the route will advance above the hanging glacier and ice to approach the eastern part of Mt. Ama Dablam. Likewise, the climb continues to snow slopes unless it arrives at the ice cap. From here, you will cross the ice fields and continue through the snow rib sloes to reach the top of the summit. Finally, your destination to reach the top of Ama Dablam arrives. Get a handful of pictures of outstanding views of Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Baruntse, Pumori, Makalu, and Cho Oyu.

Is Ama Dablam harder to climb than Mount Everest?

Well, both the Ama Dablam Expedition and the Everest Expedition have their features, climbing days, atmosphere, and so on. In a solid technical sense, Ama Dablam is slightly harder than Mount Everest. However, Everest dominates its difficulties because of the high altitude, glaciers, ice falls, and duration. It takes around 45-60 days to complete the Everest expedition. Meanwhile, within 25-30 days, you can complete the ascent to Ama Dablam. Therefore, it’s difficult to compare two of these iconic mountains of Nepal in terms of difficulty.

Travel Insurance mandatory for expeditions in Nepal

Any climbers must obtain quality travel insurance before boarding any adventurous trip in Nepal including Mt. Ama Dablam Expedition. Medical expenses including Helicopter rescue are the most important coverage on your insurance policy. We suggest our clients include policies such as Rescue evacuation, medical expenses, injuries, altitude sickness, damaged goods, and so on in their insurance policy. Also, before issuing the climbing permits you must provide us with your insurance copy for further procedures. The insurance helps you financially and gives you the freedom to enjoy the trip.

Responsible Tourism while climbing Ama Dablam

Preserving nature, culture, and the pride of high mountains are our responsibilities. Therefore, during this mountain expedition in Nepal, we are well aware of our activities and their effect on the Himalayas. That’s why our clients must deposit all the garbage they produce during the trip. If in case, climbers fail to bring back the garbage, they have to pay a penalty of up to $500 as a garbage deposit.

Besides nature and mountains, respecting the local atmosphere is equally crucial. Along the trip, you will be staying at the teahouses of the local people, mostly Sherpa. Enjoying their local dishes, greeting them with “Namaste”, and involving their lifestyle gives them joy. Likewise, while visiting the local monasteries make sure you follow the local rules set by Buddhism. Greeting their fellow guides and porters will inspire them to do their job properly as well.

Training and Preparation Before Climbing the Peak in Nepal

Climbers must have a good climbing game in their hand and excellent skill while crossing the technical sections. Also, the top rock-climbing skills would be handy to navigate those snowy rocks of Ama Dablam. Also, experience of high-altitude peak climbing would be a plus point. In Nepal, Mera Peak Climbing,Island Peak Climbing, and Lobuche Peak Climbingare the most popular peaks to climb which can be done in preparation for Ama Dablam Summit.

A bold commitment and desire are essential to join this category of the expedition. Likewise, familiarity with using ice axes, ropes, crampons, ascenders, descenders, harnesses, etc. is crucial. Similarly, climbers must train at least 6 months before the expedition.
