These treks are suitable for any walker looking for something a little more challenging and energetic. They are a combination of some longer and shorter walks and hill-walking experience is desirable. The duration is usually from 10 to 15 days. Following the up and down terrain of Nepal and walking to higher elevations contrasts these treks to those in the easy classification. However, you will be rewarded for your efforts with spectacular close-up views of glaciers and of the high Himalayas. Although the terrain is not difficult, some vigorous hiking experience is useful. There may be up to 6 hours a day on the trail and the elevation rises and falls from 800m/ 2624ft to 4000m/13210ft above sea level.

For those who seek the exhilarating challenge of technical mountain climbing in Nepal, look no further than the iconic Ama Dablam Peak. This expedition offers an opportunity to intimately experience the majesty of this legendary peak.
The prime season for an Ama Dablam Climb expedition is during autumn, spanning from October 10 to December 10. During this period, the onset of winter blankets the hard snow and rock with a pristine layer of ice and snow. Our team of seasoned climbing experts is poised and ready at the base camp to guide you through this formidable ascent. In comparison to autumn, spring, between mid-March and late May, ushers in a profusion of snow. Following the winter season, and with the advent of spring showers, the mountains are enveloped in snow and ice. Navigating fresh snow on Ama Dablam’s slopes can intensify the challenge of blazing a trail. Strong Sherpa guides are at hand, more than capable of expending extra effort during the spring ascent. Climbers should be prepared for potential weather-related interruptions during their summit window. If your schedule aligns with these time frames, consider joining our expedition.
The spring season presents an alternative window for conquering Ama Dablam, running from March to the end of May. However, spring sees a substantial accumulation of snow on the mountain compared to autumn. As winter gives way to spring, the fresh snowfall in the region elevates the difficulty level of trailblazing. Climbers should anticipate potential weather-related disruptions when planning their spring summit.
Ama Dablam stands as a captivating snow-capped pinnacle in the Everest region, gracing the sky at an elevation of 6,812 meters above sea level. Its name derives from the Sherpa language, where “Ama” means mother and “Dablam” translates to Necklace Jewel. Participants joining our group from the base camp must possess technical expertise in rock and ice climbing, in addition to well-equipped safety gear, as the climb from High Camp to Camp 1 is arduous, marked by rugged cliffs. Ama Dablam’s exquisite silhouette even serves as the symbol of a global insurance company.
Before embarking on the Ama Dablam Peak ascent, it is advisable to undertake the climb of either Lobuche Peak or Island Peak, both exceeding 6,000 meters in elevation. Following this acclimatization phase, you will join the Ama Dablam expedition, culminating in a high-altitude camp. The journey from Base Camp to the summit and back typically spans 13 to 15 days.
The Ama Dablam climbing expedition is orchestrated by Nepal Wilderness Trek PVT, Ltd., operating on a join-a-group basis from the base camp. If you plan to summit during the autumn and spring seasons, you can ascend the 6,812-meter Ama Dablam peak and etch your footprint atop its majestic summit.
If your schedule falls between October 10 and December 10 or from the first week of April to May, you can synchronize your dates with our Ama Dablam base camp group. During these periods, we establish a base camp and pre-arrange the logistics based on the confirmed dates and the number of climbers in the Ama Dablam Climb group.
