The Ama Dablam expedition with Island peak climbing lets you conquer two more than 6,000 meters (19,685 ft) above peaks in the Himalayan range of Nepal. Mount Ama Dablam and Island Peak both are quite famous in Nepal for beginner climbers. If you are stepping into climbing for the first time in Nepal, then the Island Peak is one of the great options. Likewise, if this is your first time approaching a technical mountain, then Ama Dablam is a fantastic option to start with.
Island Peak is located in the Chukkung Valley and was first climbed in 1953 by Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing as their practice peak before the Everest expedition. Island Peak is 6,189 meters (20,305 ft) above sea level and offers a perfect technical scenario for beginner climbers to hone their climbing skills. The view of Mount Everest from the top of the Island peak is just unbelievable.
Mount Ama Dablam is 6,812 meters (22,349 ft) above sea level. It was first climbed by the expedition team of Mike Gill (NZ), Barry Bishop (USA), Mike Ward (UK), and Wally Romanes (NZ) on 13 March 1961. Ama Dablam is one of the mainstream Himalayan mountains open for climbing. We will approach the summit from the southwest route, making three camps, not including the base camp, before we touch the summit.
Climbing both mountains requires strong fitness, mental resilience, and previous climbing experience. You need to have an understanding of rock climbing, ice climbing, first aid, etc. Before pushing towards the base camp, our guide will give you pre-climbing training, which will help you boost your confidence. First, we will climb the Island peak and then head towards Ama Dablam.
Climbing Island Peak is relatively manageable. However, during the Ama Dablam climbing, we will make three camps and also do rotation climbing to adjust to the elevation before pushing toward the summit. Our crew will help you set up the tents and prepare the meals. The views of Everest (8,849 m/29,032 ft), Lhotse (8,516 m/27,940 ft, Nuptse (7,861 m/25,791 ft), Makalu (8,463 m/27,766 ft), Cho Oyu (8,188 m/26,864 ft), Kanchenjunga (8,586 m/28,169 ft), Pumori (7,161 m/23,494 ft), Thamserku (6,608 m/21,680 ft), etc, are phenomenal from both mountains.
During trekking, you will spend nights in Sherpa villages, including the famous Namche Bazaar (3,440 m/11,290 ft), and hike to Hotel Everest View (3,962 m/13,000 ft). You will also visit the ancient Tengboche (3,860 m/12,660 ft) and Pangboche (3,985 m/13,074 ft) monasteries. Our Ama Dablam expedition with Island peak climbing itinerary does not go to Everest base camp (5,364 m/17,598 ft, but you can definitely extend the itinerary. It will help you acclimatize and explore the region further.
