I summitted Ama Dablam with Tim in 2003. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend him or an expedition of his. He works with rigour, vigour and extremely good humour. Trip felt in control at all times in terms of both climbing and general organisation.
5 stars.
Have a good time on the trip! - R.Bull

 

AMA DABLAM 2007
4 week climbing itinerary

(From only £2400 Ex Kathmandu)

Professionally Led and Organised
by Everest Summiteer Tim Mosedale


Ama Dablam is one of the most stunning mountains in the world. The maps report Ama Dablam as being anything from 6812m to 6856m - but one thing for sure is that it is over 22,000 feet. It commands the Everest region and is by far and away the most impressive peak along the Khumbu trail. People who trek in the region will always come away with a few mountain names added to their vocabulary, and Ama Dablam will be one of them.

This trip not only takes in the sights and sounds of Kathmandu but also the historic trading post of Namche Bazaar and the world famous monastery at Tengboche. What better way to acclimatise and get ourselves ready for the mountain of a lifetime?


This climbing itinerary is based on a 4 week Saturday to Sunday period.

27 Oct - Depart UK.
28 Oct - Arrive Kathmandu (KTM).
29 Oct - Sightseeing in KTM. Sort gear / final preparations for the expedition.
30 Oct - Fly to Lukla (2800m).
31 Oct - 16 Nov - Trek to Ama Dablam Base Camp. Rest. Train. Climb. Party.
23 Nov - Fly to KTM. Sort gear. Sightseeing. Party again.
24 Nov - Sightseeing and last minute shopping in the morning. Depart KTM
25 Nov - Arrive home.

What is it going to cost?

Despite a general increase in insurance costs, flights and agency fees I am keeping the trip at the same cost as last year (for the 3rd year in a row). Based upon a group of 6 to 9 from Kathmandu to Kathmandu the cost is £2950 per person. For 10 or 11 £2750 per person and for a group of 12 the cost will only be £2400.

If you want to make your own way in to the Khumbu and meet at Ama Dablam Base Camp, or if you want to just join the permit and are arranging all your own logistics, then please contact me so that I can give you a competitive quote.


Please remember that these estimates do not include international flights (allow approx £750). I do not provide flights but have a contact with a local travel agency who have some seats 'held off' - if you require a flight I will gladly put you in touch with them.
