Ama Dablam has long been considered the prettiest mountain in the world. High on her Southwest face hangs a glacier resembling a Dablam the sacred ornament box worn by ladies in the Sherpa community. It was this spectacular feature that got her name "Ama Dablam". She lies alongside Everest in the heart of the Khumbu valley offering a superb climb up a spectacular ridge.

The route we follow begins at Lukla 2850m. and the initial days of the treks pass through the legendary Sherpa coutry up the spectacular high valley of the Khumbu. Much of the route on the actual climbing is fixed with no icefall or glacier to negotiate, and most of it is concentrated on the crest of a ridge. The climb is relatively safe through exposed and sheep and not really a mountain for debutantes.
