Amadablam is a 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 expedition to Amadablam, we need to follow the trail of Everest base camp trekking. This trekking trail gives us 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 extra ordinary mountain marts.

Mt Amadablam climbing 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 expedition, it might sound weird, but Amadablam and Everest are comparable.
Both Everest and Amadablam are in 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 the sea level. But Everest is believed to be less technical than Mt Amadablam climbing.
Because of this technical challenge always compared in 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 a 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 vertical climb and narrow route of Mt Amadablam. There are nearly no place for proper camping while climbing up Mt Amadablam. 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 to 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 Amadablam expedition. Your experience in the mountain or rock climbing adventure resume will welcome 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 an 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 non-other than, Mt Amadablam. From the ground Amadablam looks perfectly carved statue of entire mountain beauty.
Similar to the astonishing shape of Amadablam from the ground, summit view of Mt Amadablam is mesmerizing.
