Overview And Highlights

Private and Group Joining Climb

Mount Ama Dablam (6,812m) is the third most popular climbing peak in Nepal and lies in the Everest region. The beautiful mountain clearly seems from Namche and the upper part of the Khumbu valley.

Climbing over the Amadablam peak is the most well-known course by a significant margin is the initial ascent path along the Southwest Ridge. It is a typical climb with three camps, and the ridge, with the three camps located just below the right side of the hanging glacier, the Dablam and the Dablam, meaning the ice that breaks off of the glacier disappears within the campsite.

A climbing permit is required to climb Ama Dablam Expedition. In order to climb over the mountain, you must have a solid base of rock climbing and ice climbing experience. The majority of the climbing route of Ama Dablam is fixed by climbing rope, therefore climbers have to be skilled at climbing or descending fixed ropes, as well as passing anchors.

Amadablam Climbing History

Mount Ama Dablam was the first ascent on the 13th of March in 1961, by Mike Gill (NZ), Barry Bishop (USA), Mike Ward (UK), and Wally Romanes (NZ) via the Southwest Ridge. They had been well-acclimatized to the high altitudes, having spent wintering at 5,800m close to the summit’s base during the Silver Hut Scientific Expedition of 1960-61, commanded by Sir Edmund Hillary.

Ama-Dablam Climbing Route

You can join the climb during the Everest climbing time between  April-May in the spring and September-October-November in the fall season. It is well-known that you can join the Ama Dablam expedition on a trip up to Everest Base Camp or climb from Island Peak.

The second option is a great method to prepare for the climb. The trek toward Everest Base camp is a beautiful way to pay homage to Everest and to experience the iconic Everest views from Kalapathar.

Incorporating the Ama Dablam trek along with the Island Peak climb offers a unique perspective of Everest from the top that is self-denying and provides a pleasant climbing experience.

The normal climbing route uses the Southwest edge, with a typical plan comprising three camps high: Camp One (5,600m), Camp Two (5,900m) as well as Camp 3. (6,200m) with a base Camp situated at 4,500m. Camp 3 is situated on the ridge’s shoulder, just beneath and to the left of the final, steep snow slope until the summit.

Additional Information

Nepal has four climatic seasons Spring:


Spring: March-May

March/April/May months are called the spring season which is the best for holidays in most of the Himalayas of Nepal. The sky and the weather are very clear and sunny in these months and warmer. The weather forecast will be 20 to 25 degrees till the 3,500m during the daytime. And at night time and in the morning will be colder. But above the 4,500m will be -10 to -15 degrees cold in the morning and at night. Some time will be rainfall in these months. This is the best season for blooming the rhododendron flower in the mountain which is our national flower. There will be many different kinds of natural flora and fauna in the mountain which makes this season beautiful and attractive for tourists in mountains. The tourist comes for trekking/peak climbing and expedition during this season. This is one of the perfect seasons to visit Nepal Mountain to see and take the experiences of walking and climbing mountains.

Summer: June – August

We called the monsoon months June/July August because of the heavy rainfall in Nepal. Mostly July/August and till mid-September. It’s still possible to do the trek in Mid June which isn’t heavy rain yet. During the monsoon time is difficult to do the trek in mountains and the sky and the weather isn’t visible and difficult to walk during the heavy rain and scare with flooding. Mostly, It’s difficult to do the trek in the Everest region because the flight is not on time. Sometimes, It will take a few days long wait to fly Lukla or long waiting to fly to Kathmandu were lots of chances of missing an international flight. So, During these months, It’s idle to choose dry places for trekking in Nepal, Upper Mustang Trek, and Upper Dolpo Trek. These are the recommended trekking for holidays by Peace Nepal Treks (p Ltd and also we provide our best services for our customer.

Autumn: September – November

Mid-September to Mid December is the best season for mountain holidays in Nepal where ever can choose in the mountain as your timing frame and the budget. We have many different kinds of trekking/peak climbing and Expedition services packages for you. This is one of the most outstanding seasons with a beautiful clear sky and the temperatures will be moderate. These months are the feast and festival time were the biggest Dashain festival/Tihar festival and Chhad festival fall. And also have a long holiday from government and people have time to visit shortly in holidays and to meet friends and relatives around. There is no heavy long rainfall but there is a clear sunny day and warmer on these days. So for it, Nepalese people also visit for short holidays around and the International people come for trekking and peak climbing expedition for long or short holidays. Most of the popular trekking regions will be full of trekkers and quite busy times. Like, mostly busier trekking regions will be the Annapurna region/Everest region and the Langtang region. But there are several less crowded trekking holidays places in Nepal, such as Manaslu circuit trek, Tsum Valley Trek, Upper Dolpo Trek, Mustang Trek, Naar Phu Trek, etc.

Winter: December – February

December to February are the winter season in Nepal. This season isn’t idle to visit long trekking high altitude trek. This is the season of snowfall in the mountain region above the 4,500m and the temperature will be -30 degrees below which is too frozen and the people of hotel lodges also not staying these months in the higher mountain and they moved to nearby city or in Kathmandu or in Pokhara. So these months are good to visit short trekking route a week or 10 days only around the Kathmandu city, Ghorepani poon hill, Nagarkot visit, Chitwan National park, Bardia National park, Pokhara city or staying local village homestay, etc. But the sunrise and sunset will be very visible and attractive these months. So the short best trekking is good to visit in Nepal.

While there are no seasonal constraints on traveling to Nepal, different trekking regions are best visited in different seasons. Once you inquire about any trekking itinerary we’ll email you regarding the best season for that particular trek. Nepal for all seasons. 

Check-list of personal equipment:

This equipment for holidays is a guideline to make easier for your holidays in Nepal. You can choose and take the equipment as your holiday’s timing frame longer holidays or in shorter holidays. It’s depending on the higher elevation of the mountain region, challenging walking of trek harder or moderate. And the peak climbing or in Expedition. However, the guideline will help you to carry and bring the right equipment for your holidays. We always suggest bringing your most important equipment from your country and also can buy in Kathmandu many different brands of product or Nepali product get in cheaper than another popular brand. We say, not too much worried about the trekking gears if you left or did the mistake to bring with you which can buy in Kathmandu easily.
