  • Ama Dablam is one of the most striking mountains in the Khumbu Region of Nepal. At 6,812 it may not be as tall as it's Himalayan neighbors of Lhotse, Everest and Pumori, but it makes up for this in sheer beauty!

    Canada West Mountain School had a very successful expedition to Ama Dablam in 2014 and we are heading back for the Autumn 2016 season. Our program includes acclimatization trips to Everest Base Camp and a climb of the popular and inspiring Khalla Pathar above Base Camp. After this, we will climb 6,120 meter East Lobuche as a training climb and further acclimatization.

    This schedule will put us at the base of Ama Dablam well acclimated to the altitude and ready to head up Ama Dablam. The route on the SW Ridge is quite straightforward terrain up to Camp 1, but above C1 it is very difficult to travel, making acclimatization on the mountain a challenge. Our previous week of climbing and trekking in the Khumbu valley will allow us to head straight up the route with minimal waiting.

    Our Guide Team will be comprised of local Sherpa High Altitude Guides and at least 1 Canadian IFMGA Guide with extensive Himalayan experience.
