Climb Ama Dablam 6,812 mt

Welcome to one of the most vibrant cities in the Himalayas. The sensations of Kathmandu will prepare you for the days ahead. Wander around, visit the historical sites and enjoy the local food.

First stop: Lukla. After an exhilarating flight to one of the world's most remote airports, we'll begin our trek from Lukla to Phakding. As we step into the heart of the Himalayas, we'll start to feel the energy of the towering peaks while our mind and body gradually acclimate to the altitude and surroundings.

After breakfast we will walk to Namche Bazaar, one of the main towns in the region and where we will spend two days to allow for proper acclimatization. We will enjoy strolling through the town and the views that the site offers.

We'll spend the day in Namche Bazaar. We can go to visit Shangbouche Hill. Perched at 3,900m (12,795 ft), Shangbouche Hill offers the most breathtaking mountain views in the area. From here, you'll take in stunning panoramas of Mount Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, Thamserku, Konde Ri, and Khumbila. This serene and peaceful spot is perfect for spending an hour immersing yourself in the Himalayan atmosphere while acclimatizing.

We will walk from Namche Bazaar to Thame in about 6 hours and with a gradient of approximately 400m. We will cover the 10 km that separate the towns and we will contemplate the wonderful landscape that we will find along the way.

The village of Thame, located near the Tibetan border, is home to a nearly 350-year-old Buddhist monastery. The walk from Thame to Mende is a relaxed and scenic journey, allowing you to take in the peaceful surroundings. We are already close the Kyajo Ri base camp.

We'll arrive at the Kyajo Ri base camp, where we'll spend the next few days preparing for the ascent. At 6,186 meters, Kyajo Ri is a challenging peak, and those who feel ready will have the opportunity to summit it.

Kyajo Ri is not an extremely technical mountain, but it presents a challenge as it rises above 6,000 meters and is set in an alpine and glacial environment. Participants who feel ready will have the opportunity to summit. Moreover, it is one of the best acclimatization climbs for Ama Dablam and, due to its characteristics, an excellent preparation for our final goal.

After summiting Kyajo Ri, we will descend to Namche Bazaar for some well-deserved rest before returning to the approach path leading to Ama Dablam base camp. By this stage, our bodies will be well acclimatized, allowing us to continue toward our ultimate goal.

The trek from Namche Bazaar to Tengboche is a stunning journey, with amazing views and a real sense of entering the Khumbu. We depart early, passing through Namche's streets before climbing out of town onto the trail to Tengboche.

We will arrive at Ama Dablam's base camp, where we'll settle in for the next week. From here, we'll assess the conditions for attempting the summit in the coming days. Our camp will be fully equipped with an expedition tent, dining area, bathroom, and other amenities to ensure a comfortable stay.

Guided by Marc, we will ascend through the various high camps in our attempt to summit Ama Dablam. Along the way, we'll take in the stunning beauty of this legendary route and experience the incredible high camps, with Camp 2 being one of the most breathtaking in the world.

We will return to Kathmandu by helicopter, offering us a chance to see the entire route we trekked on foot. As we fly over rugged mountains and deep valleys, we'll make our way back to civilization, where we can celebrate our incredible achievement.

It's time to say goodbye and wish each other amazing future adventures! We're heading home full of energy and already looking forward to our next expedition. This journey has been unforgettable, and the memories will stay with us as we plan our next steps, ready to embrace even greater challenges ahead. Until then, let's keep the spirit of adventure alive!
