A successful Ama Dablam Autumn 2023 Expedition comes to an end

December 1, 2023

Ama Dablam (6814m/22365ft) is located in the Mahalangur sub-range of Nepali Himalaya. The name Ama Dablam translates to Mother’s Necklace. The long ridges of the mountains present on either side are considered as arms of the mother (Ama) protecting the children and similarly, the hanging glaciers are considered as Dablam (a traditional double pendant ornament inscribed with gods worn by Sherpa women).

Located on the west of Mount Everest, the summit of Ama Dablam offers panoramic views of some of the world’s highest mountains including Makalu, Lhotse, Everest, and Cho Oyu. Ama Dablam, commonly known as the Matterhorn of the Himalayas, is a technical climb to the summit and the third most popular Himalayan mountain open to expeditions. This mountain tests the climbers in all possible ways.

In this Autumn 2023

Seven Summit Treks organized an expedition in Ama Dablam with a huge achievement of around eighty climbers making it to the summit of the mountain. As an expedition organizer, the team members of Seven Summit Treks are happy and proud to make the dream climb of all climbing members come true.

The expedition was initiated with precise planning and strategic preparation, where climbers, guides, support staff, and all the team members made an impactful coordination to turn this expedition into a great success. This success is all about the extraordinary and dedicated climbing guides, support staff, and everyone who worked on and off the field.

On expeditions with Seven Summit treks, we provide careful planning, experienced guidance, and unwavering commitment to safety.

It is not only a successful ascent of the mountain but a lifetime of memories and experiences.

Mardi Himal trek. A wonderful trek ideal even for beginners. Wonderful views, great facilities. Our choice for this trek was through our honeymoon. Seven Summit Treks organized and prepared everything. Sherpa Tashi and porter Nima were great. We could talk, they always prepared everything. I have been in contact with the guys from Seven Summit Treks since the expedition to Makalu and I know that I can rely on them. Thank you for your help and wonderful experience. And see you at the next event.

Our first co-operation was in 2013 in Pakistan with Arnold Coster expeditions and Sevensummittreks towards the Gasherbrum. After that, we continued to work together on expeditions towards Everest, Makalu, Lhotse, Manaslu (winter), and AmaDablam. For me, SST is a very professional company with a lot of experience and knowledge. We have full confidence in their capabilities and appreciate their flexibility. I would like to thank them for all those years of cooperation and I look forwards to new adventures in Nepal and Pakistan.

I have been on many expeditions in Nepal over the years, most of them I organized with friends and used Seven Summit Treks only for their base camp services with great service! This year none of my friends were available to climb in Nepal in the Autumn season so I contacted SST and decided to sign up for the Mera Peak and Baruntse expedition. SST organized everything and provide me with a personal climbing Sherpa for the entire trip. Throughout the entire trip, everything was taken care of by SST, including lodging, tea houses, and meals. At Baruntse base camp I had a nice private tent and the cook and kitchen staff always had smiles and cooked great meals. My Sherpa (Jangbu) was great and we became close friends and climbing partners. Jangbu was always there with a smile, a very strong climber, always wanting to help in any way he could. There was plenty of time to decide how and when we were going to make a summit push based on the weather. We had fantastic summit days on both peaks and finished the trip crossing the Amphu Labste pass into the Khumbu Valley staying each night in nice lodges with all meals included. I would highly recommend using SST for any expedition that you want to go on. Thank you Seven Summit Treks for a great trip and your attention to detail!!
