Trip Overview:
Take on a dual Himalayan challenge with the Lobuche Peak and Ama Dablam climbing expedition, a unique adventure that blends trekking, peak climbing, and alpine mountaineering. This combination is ideal for those seeking to progressively push their limits — starting with the technically moderate Lobuche East (6,119m) and advancing to the iconic Ama Dablam (6,812m), one of the most beautiful and technical peaks in the world.
The expedition follows the Everest Base Camp trail, providing ample acclimatization and cultural immersion in Sherpa villages like Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, and Pangboche. The climbs are guided by certified professionals, and safety, acclimatization, and climbing instruction are all carefully planned.
