Trip Overview

Mount Ama Dablam stands stunning with its most impressive mountain peaks at the centre of the Khumbu valley in Nepal,. Ama Dablam Expedition is located in Solukhumbu district, Nepal. The mountain is known simply for its beauty and the pure exposure running high on its sides. Mount Ama Dablam was first climbed by Mike Gill, Barry Bishop, Mike Ward, and Wally Romanes in 1961 using its southwest ridge. The name of the mountain originated from the glacier lying on its Southwest face. The literal meaning of Mount Ama Dablam is “Mother’s Necklace.”  Mount Ama Dablam and Mt. Matterhorn, in the Alps, look a lot like each other in shape.
