WHY THIS TRIP Ama Dablam is often climbed as a great climb independent of other 8000m plans. It is significantly more technical than most of the normal routes on 8,000m climbs including Everest but the overall atmosphere is similar. It is a shorter climb by time.
Trip Notes • We reserve the right to change and that the program may be reversed. Things can happen that make it impossible to meet them as planned. If any meeting or plan would not be feasible, we always try to find an equivalent alternative. In Nepal, you always have a plan B and C!
• What follows is a general flow of events. Expect the unexpected and prepare to be flexible • A trekking permit is a must to travel to controlled areas. Permit, however, is issued only to groups. Individual trekkers will not be issued trekking permit • 5% of the total cost of the package will be allocated for the benefits of local people in the Everest region.
