At 6,812 meters (22,349 ft), Ama Dablam is often called the most beautiful mountain in the world. Its sharp ridges and soaring peak dominate the skyline above Pangboche, standing like a guardian of the Khumbu Valley. Known as the “Matterhorn of the Himalayas,” Ama Dablam is a dream climb for mountaineers — technically challenging yet achievable for well-prepared adventurers.
Why Climb Ama Dablam with Dorjee’s Adventures?
Ama Dablam is more than a mountain for Dorje Gyaljen Sherpa — it’s home. Born in Pangboche, directly beneath the peak, Dorjee has summited Ama Dablam 29 times, making him one of the most experienced Ama Dablam guides in the world. His deep knowledge of the mountain’s routes, weather patterns, and cultural significance ensures an unparalleled climbing experience.
