Ama Dablam-which translates to “mother’s necklace”- is a life-changing ascent. Located in the Nepali Himalayas, Ama Dablam is a daunting peak rising 6,856 meters in elevation.



Mount Amadablam is a popular mountaineering destination for experienced mountaineers, not only for its incredible natural appeal but also for the exhilarating challenges that accompany the climb.
