Mt Amadablam Expedition is not as hard as you would imagine, although stated as expedition rather than climbing, but never underestimate the power of a mountain and do not ignore the vertical climb it has.
Amadablam is the hardest mountain to climb in Khumbu region – hardest among all the commercial peaks of Everest like; lobuche peak, island peak, pokalde peak or any other.
The Trail
For the expedition to Amadablam, we need to follow the trail of Everest base camp trekking. This trekking trail gives us a chance to visit Tengboche monastery, Namche bazar, Khumjung village, Pangboche monastery, Amadablam village and many other small villages.
Saying that; mt Amadablam expedition tour is not just about getting to the top of a mountain but also getting to the summit & meeting local people, knowing culture and tradition of the region.
Namche Bazar is one of the extraordinary mountain marts.
Tengboche monastery is a special monastery of the entire Khumbu region. Pangboche monastery and Khumjung monastery have scalps of Yeti and Yeti hand/head.
Mount Ama Dablam is one of the most appreciative beauties of nature. This mountain expedition collaborated on a significant trek with snow and ice climbing.
Amadablam Expedition vs. Everest Expeditions
Mount Everest is the tallest mountain of earth whereas Mount Amadablam is not even an eight thousand – er mountain. And in this scenario, I am comparing these 2 mountain expeditions, it might sound weird, but Amadablam and Everest are comparable.
Both Everest and Amadablam are in the Everest region inside Sagarmatha national park, also known as Khumbu Himalaya region in Nepal. Amadablam standing at 6812 meters or 22343 feet above the sea level is not the major mountain of Everest. However this is an iconic and the most dazzling mountain of Everest base camp trekking trail. Mount Everest is 8848 meter or 29021 feet above sea level. But Everest is believed to be less technical than Mt Amadablam climbing.
Because of this technical challenge always being compared between Mt Amadablam and Mt Everest, I dared to compare as well. Interestingly, most of the Everest summiteer has climbed this peak Amadablam, if you do not believe, ask to Nirmal Purja – this guy did something amazing in expedition history, famous as “Project Possible” and at the end he climbed Mt Amadablam to show he is a hero.

1. Physical Requirements/ Mt Amadablam climbing Difficulty
Mt Amadablam is technically harder than Everest Expedition. Climbers spend more than 2 months for Everest Expedition but for Mt Amadablam expedition, less than a month is recommended, so the acclimatization and height is not an issue while climbing Mt Amadablam.
But the real issue is the vertical climb and narrow route of Mt Amadablam. There is nearly no place for proper camping while climbing up Mt Amadablam. The Amadablam expedition route is not fixed like the climbing route of Everest expedition. That is why; Mt Amadablam expedition is a challenge for climbers.
Climbing Amadablam is accepting a mountaineering challenge, rather than climbing for generalized fun. Unlike trekking peaks, Mt Amadablam Expedition demands technical skill and sweating hard work to climb up the vertical rope.
Technical knowledge and knowledge of using climbing gear is necessary for the Amadablam expedition. Your experience in the mountain or rock climbing adventure resume will be welcomed by the summit of Mt Amadablam. All in all, Amadablam is a difficult mountain, a challenge to the summit and something “proud of climbing”. Admit it or not, climbing Amadablam is extreme mountaineering.
2. Scenery
The prime location of Amadablam peak has proven itself as the best climb in Everest region from the Everest base camp trekking trail. The first mountain to be pointed by trekking guides, climbing guides or any first timer trekkers in Everest base camp is none-other than, Mt Amadablam. From the ground, Amadablam looks like a perfectly carved statue of the entire mountain beauty.
Similar to the astonishing shape of Amadablam from the ground, the summit view of Mt Amadablam is mesmerizing. Located approximately in the middle of Khumbu Himalaya range, Mt Amadablam is a perfect view point for thousands of Mountains. From the summit of Mount Amadablam, bird eye view of Khumbu Himalaya range, Number range, Makau mountain range and mountain range from Tibet can be witnessed at its best.
Despite Mount Everest behind the beauty of Mt Lhotse, the infinite range of Mountain and the deep river valley of Pheriche and Dingboche will be an unreal view from the top of Mount Amadablam.
Last but not the least, you will make a best Nepali friend, your climbing guides and porters. Our best climbing team will surround you to assist you for Mt Amadablam peak climbing, at the office of Nepalgram Adventure.
