Himalayan Windhorse’s special package, Amadablam Expedition with Island Peak summit !

Mount Ama Dablam, is one of the most popular and beautiful mountain of the Himalaya” is also one of the most gorgeous mountains in the world located in the Himalayan range of Eastern Nepal. Ama Dablam characterizes itself with its unique pyramid shape. The hanging glacier seen on the southwest face of Ama Dablam bears a resemblance to the sacred ornament box used by Sherpa Women, which is known as Dablam, therefore giving it the name “Ama Dablam” This peak is 6,812 meters in elevation from the sea level. This mountain is not impressive for its height but for its aesthetics it holds. Mt. Ama Dablam is located in the Khumbu region of Nepal, south of Mt. Everest. One should see some splendid views during the ascent to the pinnacle.

The usual ascension to Ama Dablam is done from the Southwestern ridge. This was the same route followed by the climbers who reached the top for the first time to the top in 1961. Commonly, climbers set up three camps just below and on the right of the hanging glacier, “Dablam”. The hike is modest up to camp 1, but the challenge starts from camp 1 to camp 2 as it gets more technical in the narrow edges of ridges made from granite. This challenge increases even more from camp 2 to camp 3. Some risk of glacier falls cannot be escaped but it is said that adventure without risk is Disneyland. One should train himself in the skills of rock and ice climbing and get used to high altitudes before thinking of Ama Dablam. If you have former climbing experience and wish to join a team on an expedition to the world’s most extraordinary mountain, then Ama Dablam Expedition is the right choice.

Mount Imja Tse peak (6,189m)or also popularly known as Island Peak stands tall with a modest height of 6,189m. English Mountaineer Eric Shipton named it an Island Peak in 1953.

With very few technical aspects, it offers itself even to beginner climbers with competitive endurance. Hence, it is one of the most popular choices among the 6000m. Island Peak welcomes hundreds of climbers every year as it’s the most popular trekking peak.

Mt. Tilicho Peak is a tower at a height of 7,134m. Mountaineers rate this as a technical climb, and not so easy. There are two ways to reach up to Base Camp. Tilicho Peak expedition starts up with a drive to Khudi followed by several days trekking to the Tilicho Base Camp via Manang and Khangsar Village as well as another way is a short mountain flight from Pokhara bringing us to the dry and dusty hill town of Jomsom as well as start from Beni Bazaar to Jomsom.

From here we proceed east and north to cross the high and very difficult Mesokanto Pass at an altitude of 5300m. At the top of the pass, we managed to locate some marine fossils (shells) which testify to the fact that the Himalayas was once beneath the sea. We choose the first idea as this allows enough time for acclimatization and fewer difficulties for taking all the logistics. The views on the routes are breathtaking; anything that can surpass your imagination. What you see is Tilicho Peak and the azure and peaceful Tilicho Lake below. It is a glacial lake and unfriendly to marine life. People say they often find marine fossils (shells) that probably support the fact that the Himalayas were once beneath the sea.

Mt. Gyachung Kang is a high mountain in the Khumbu region. It is the highest peak between Mount Everest and Cho Oyu. Its twin snow and rock peaks tower above the immediate surroundings, separated by a narrow saddle.

The approach is easy by Gokyo Lake, then by crossing from the Ngozumpa glacier. This peak was first climbed by Y. Kato and Pasang Phutar on a Japanese expedition in 1964. The route presents some small technical difficulties and care should be taken for possible avalanches.

Mt. Annapurna III is situated in the Annapurna mountain ranges,  and at 7,555 meters (24,787 ft) tall, it is the 42nd highest mountain that is not a subsidiary peak of another mountain.

Mt. Nuptse shares in the glory of the Everest Massif and is the southern border of the Western Cwm. It’s joined on the tight by Lhotse via Tenzing Peak. Viewed from the Kalapatthar it appears as a massive wall guarding the approach to Everest.

Mt. Nuptse the highest among 7,000 meters peaks at 7,861 meters the climb is regarded as one of the toughest technical mountains to climb to its summit top. Mount Nuptse was first ascended by British national Dennis Davis and Nepali national- Sherpa Tashi on the north ridge (Scott-route) on May 16, 1961. Mount Nuptse expedition emerges as a massive wall guarding Mount Everest when it is viewed from the Tengboche Monastery. The name ‘Nup-tse’ originated from the Tibetan language meaning ”west-peak”.

The summit of Nuptse is extremely dangerous due to loose snow with a lot of hollows, and there are also weakly attached cornices of snow. This provides a barrier to climbing, yet is not sturdy enough for safe climbing.
