Ama Dablam (Son nom, qui signifie le collier de la mère en langue sherpa) est considérée comme l’une des plus belles montagnes de la planète. Elle est située dans le parc national de Sagaramatha, dans la région du Khumbu. Cette pyramide de roc et de glace constitue un objectif prestigieux pour des alpinistes confirmés. L’ascension de l’Ama Dablam offre une progression technique dans un décor spectaculaire, avec à la clé une vue fantastique sur les géants de plus de 8 000 m qui l’entourent, dont l’Everest.
Nous emprunterons la voie originelle d’Hillary, en établissant 3 camps d’altitude, successivement à 5700 m, 6000 m et 6300 m. Celle-ci sera équipée en cordes fixes pour les passages les plus difficiles, ce qui vous permettra de contempler l’Everest et sa couronne de 8000 m depuis le sommet, et cela, en toute sécurité.
Cette ascension requiert une solide expérience de la haute montagne et une excellente condition physique. Elle se déroule sur plusieurs jours, avec une longue phase d’acclimatation et des rotations entre le camp de base et les camps d’altitude.

The Ama Dablam Expedition is a high-altitude climbing adventure in Nepal, targeting Ama Dablam (6,812m / 22,349 ft). It combines trekking through the Everest region with technical mountaineering, making it one of the most challenging and rewarding climbs in the Himalayas.
The expedition is suitable for experienced mountaineers with prior high-altitude trekking or climbing experience. Climbers should have good physical fitness, technical skills in ice and rock climbing, and the ability to adapt to high altitudes.
The ideal seasons are:

- Autumn (September–November): Stable weather, spectacular views, and cooler temperatures.
Winter and monsoon seasons are generally not recommended due to harsh weather conditions.
The standard expedition lasts 26 days, including arrival, trekking to Base Camp, summit attempts, and return to Kathmandu.
- Starting point: Lukla (2,840m)
- Base Camp: 4,600m
- Summit: 6,856m

Nepal offers a variety of local and international foods in teahouses. For those with special dietary needs (gluten-free, vegan, or allergies), it is highly recommended to bring extra snacks. This ensures you stay nourished during remote trekking days.
To reduce plastic pollution in the Himalayas, we encourage trekkers to avoid bottled water. Most teahouses provide boiled water, which is safe to drink and does not require additional treatment.
