Mt Ama Dablam Autumn Expedition | Sponsorship

Oct 29 – Nov 20

First Expedition from Bengal

AMA DABLAM – Mother’s Necklace

Ama Dablam, popularly known as the “Matterhorn of the Himalaya” is one of the most gorgeous mountains in the world located in the Himalayan range of Eastern Nepal. Ama Dablam characterizes itself with its unique pyramid shape. The long ridges on each side like the arms of a mother (Ama) protecting her child and the hanging glacier seen on the southwest face of Ama Dablam bear a resemblance to the traditional double-pendant used by Sherpa Women, which is known as Dablam, therefore giving it a name as “Ama Dablam” This peak is 6,812 meters in elevation from the sea level. This mountain is not impressive for its height but for its aesthetics it holds. Mt. Ama Dablam is located in the Khumbu region of Nepal, south of Mt. Everest. One should see some splendid views during the ascent to the pinnacle.

The usual ascent to Ama Dablam is done from the South-western ridge. This was the same route followed by the climbers who reached to the top for the first time to the top in 1961. We will set up three camps just below and the right of the hanging glacier, “Dablam”. The challenge starts from camp 1 to camp 2 as it gets more technical in the narrow edges of ridges made from granite. This challenge increases even more from camp 2 to camp 3. The true mettle of a climber is tested in this mountain and is considered as tougher than Mt Everest. Only a handful few Indians have climbed Mt Ama Dablam
