Ama Dablam (6,812m \/ 22,349 ft) is an expedition peak in the Khumbu region of north-east Nepal, located in the heart of the Everest region between namche basar<\/a> samt Everest Base Camp<\/a>. The peak lies at approximately 27 degrees 51 minutes north latitude and 86 degrees 51 minutes east longitude, in the Sagarmatha National Park. The name Ama Dablam means Mother and Child in Sherpa, referring to the long central ridge (the mother) and the smaller hanging glacier (the child, or dablam, the traditional pendant worn by Sherpa women). Ama Dablam was first climbed on 13 March 1961 by Mike Gill, Barry Bishop, Mike Ward, and Wally Romanes of a New Zealand-American expedition led by Edmund Hillary, via the Southwest Ridge.\n\nAma Dablam is widely considered one of the most beautiful mountains in the world, with its distinctive pyramid shape, perfect proportions, and dramatic hanging glacier. The standard Southwest Ridge route is technically demanding, with sustained rock, snow, and ice climbing on all four camps. The route establishes Base Camp at 4,600m, Camp 1 at 5,700m on a broad ridge, Camp 2 at 6,000m at the base of the Yellow Tower, and Camp 3 at 6,300m above the Yellow Tower. The summit push involves climbing the Yellow Tower (a vertical rock pitch), traversing the Mushroom Ridge, and climbing the final snow slopes to the summit. The technical difficulty is rated TD on the Alpine grading system.\n\nAma Dablam is one of the most sought-after expedition peaks in the Himalaya due to its combination of technical climbing and iconic beauty. The mountain is significantly more technical than trekking peaks but is accessible to climbers with previous 6,000m peak experience and solid rock, ice, and snow climbing skills. The famous hanging glacier (the dablam) below Camp 3 has historically been a significant hazard, with a major ice avalanche in November 2006 that killed four climbers. Our route uses an alternative camp 3 position to avoid this hazard. The summit rewards climbers with views of Everest (8,849m), Lhotse (8,516m), Nuptse (7,861m), Makalu (8,485m), and the entire Khumbu range.\n\nThe approach follows the classic Everest Base Camp trekking route from lukla<\/a> through Namche Bazaar, tengboche<\/a>, og pangboche<\/a> to Ama Dablam Base Camp at 4,600m. The region is culturally Tibetan Buddhist Sherpa homeland, with traditional villages, ancient monasteries at Tengboche and Pangboche, and prayer walls along the trail. The best climbing seasons are spring (April-May) and autumn (October-November), with autumn being the most popular for Ama Dablam due to colder but more stable conditions.<\/p>\n","cost_includes":"All airport pickups and drops in private vehicle\nKathmandu hotel (3 nights, B&B) with welcome and farewell dinners\nDomestic flights where applicable to itinerary\nAll ground transport in private vehicle\nAll necessary permits (TIMS, National Park, Conservation Area, Restricted Area where applicable)\nThree meals daily (BLD) during the trek with tea\/coffee\nTea house or camping accommodation during the trek\nExperienced English-speaking trekking guide and assistant guide for groups of 6+\nPorters (1 per 2 trekkers, 15kg luggage allowance) with full insurance\nSleeping bag, down jacket, and duffel bag (refundable deposit)\nFirst-aid kit, pulse oximeter, and emergency oxygen\nSatellite phone for emergency communications\nAll government and local taxes\nClimbing permit fee (Ministry of Tourism)\nGarbage deposit and liaison officer fee\nClimbing guide (Sherpa, IFMGA-trained)\nHigh-altitude climbing Sherpa (1:2 ratio on summit day)\nClimbing equipment (crampons, ice axe, harness, helmet, ropes, carabiners, jumars, prusiks)\nHigh camp tents and cooking equipment\nOxygen cylinders for emergency (5+ bottles)\nGamow bag for altitude sickness\nSatellite phone for emergency communication\nBase camp services with full kitchen crew and dining tent","cost_excludes":"International airfare to and from Kathmandu\nNepal visa fee (USD 30 for 15 days, USD 50 for 30 days)\nTravel and high-altitude rescue insurance (mandatory)\nPersonal trekking gear and clothing\nHot showers, Wi-Fi, device charging, and alcoholic beverages\nLunch and dinner in Kathmandu\nTips for guide, porter, and driver (recommended 10-15% of trip cost)\nCosts from unforeseen events (weather, flight delays, route changes)","itineraries":[{"title":"Ankomst til Kathmandu","content":"\n
