Mount Amadablam stands at 6,812m and it is located in the heart of world’s highest mountain range, in Khumbu region. It is one of the most beautiful mountain on earth known for technical climbing and as a big challenge for mountaineers. The most famous route to climb up this mountain is Southwest Ridge. It was climbed by by Barry Bishop’s team for the first time in 1961.
Firstly, we will reach the Base Camp and will take couple of rest days to allow our bodies to acclimatize by climbing slowly. Two camps are set after the Base Camp to approach the top of Amadablam. You will enjoy every single day when we move through camps I and II. The trek offers spectacular panorama views of Khumbu Himalaya including world’s highest Mountain Everest that stands at 8,848m.
The mountain is steep rock and hard compact ice so that we suggest you at least to have good skills on rock and ice climbing with technical competency. Utmost Adventure will provide qualified and experienced climbing guides and skillful altitude Sherpa climbers. They will guide you in every step of the way to the top of the mountain. We assure your safety and help you to realize your dreams of ascending Mt. Amadablam.
Amadablam Expedition Highlights:
We will be staying at 3 star hotel in Kathmandu, and in tea-houses during the trek. All rooms are on twin-double bedrooms. Single bedroom will be arranged on request and with additional cost. Utmost Adventure will arrange rooms with private bathrooms; however, tea-houses often have only shared bathrooms and toilet facilities. Also note that single rooms are easily available in Kathmandu and in trekking regions at lower elevation; however, it might be difficult to find them at higher altitude.
In Kathmandu, breakfast will be available. There will also be a welcome and a farewell dinner organized for our guests. During the trekking, all meals will be provided, including tea and coffee prepared by our cook. We will have breakfast and dinner in the camping area, whereas we will spend lunch on our way to next destination. The menu will offer both authentic Nepalese, Tibetan and continental meals.
