FAQ's
Expand AllAma Dablam is a unique peak popular for its easiness to climb and mixed terrain. The rock, snow, and ice make the entire climbing experience more enjoyable. It is unique because it offers more than the Himalayan snow plod. The climbers enjoy climbing as a whole as it has moderate technical difficulty on the mix of rock, snow, ice, and mixed terrain. It offers you more than this and is a suitable adventure.
Ama Dablam looks difficult however the climbing grades are easy and mostly 3rd and 4th class scrambling.The sections the climbers need to cover are North American 5.7, British Severe, and French 4. Even though it is easy do not underestimate the challenges of mountains. It is extremely exposed, so it is necessary to carry good-quality ropes.
The perfect season to ascend Mount Ama Dablam is Spring ( April – May ) and autumn ( September – November ). These seasons are ideal for ascending due to stable weather conditions, clear skies, and suitable weather-climbing conditions.
Typically climbing Ama Dambalm does not require oxygen for many of the climbers. However, we carry emergency oxygen to minimize the risk.
It will take 28 days to climb the Ama Dablam expedition.
You need to acquire certain permits before climbing Ama Dablam. The climbers need to have a Climbing Permit from the Nepal Mountaineering Association(NMA), Sagarmatha National Park Entry Permit, and Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality Entrance Permit.
Lightweight running/trainers/trail shoes, robust single trekking/mountain boots made of full leather, ankle-high boots for boulder hopping and rock climbing, scrambling to camp 2, and 7000 / 8000-meter boots are recommended while selecting the boots.
The climbers must be at least age 16 to climb Ama Dablam. There is no maximum age as long as you're in good health conditions and are physically fit.
