The ascent of Ama Dablam offers us to contemplate Everest and the Khumbu region at an altitude of about 6800 meters. Located not far from the highest peak in the world, this mountain is known as one of the greatest Himalayan technical alpine objective. Less crowded then his neighbors such as the Island Peak, this will give you the opportunity to apply your alpine techniques in a really aesthetic and aerial environment.
From the summit, or all the way up through the summit ridge, your eyes will admire the East of Nepal and the beautiful Honku valley. You will walk on a really aerial crest that will gives you the impression of flying above the Himalaya. This ascent is the outcome of a magnificent trek towards Everest basecamp and the Gokyo lake region.
Take up this challenge with certified mountain guides and a devoted local team!

Basecamp
We organize every aspect of the basecamp, tents, kitchen equipment, tables, chairs, communication and everything else! You only have to install your personal equipment. The only equipment you have to provide for yourself is a sleeping bag and sleeping pad (for altitude camps) because our local agency provides it for the basecamp along all you need to sleep well.
At basecamp, we have a system to recharge electronic device. We also have lights and a heater to warm up the kitchen tent!

Since we have a lot of equipment to carry from Quebec, we are going to separate it amongst the participants and guides before leaving.
