Mount Ama Dablam is normally climbed from the South-West ridge. The most common way for beginners to begin mountaineering is to climb this mountain. In the Everest region, Ama Dablam is a small snowcapped peak of 6812 meters, most mountaineering beginners start their climb there. 6812 meters high, Ama Dablam is a small peak in the Everest region with a snowcap of 6812 meters. Mount Ama Dablam is considered to be the most technical and difficult mountain in the world to ascend by using this South-West Ridge. On their climbing route, the mountaineers have to cross difficult ice rocks and steep snow slopes. On Mount Ama Dablam 6812m, mountaineers usually pitch three high camps.

From base camp, climbers pass through the toughest and most difficult saddle ridges before climbing up through the rocky ground and boulders until they reach the first camp. As we are now in Camp 1, one has to cross the rocky bowl and climb the ridge to Camp II via the fixed lines. You reach Camp 2 after crossing over severe rocks and ridges after crossing Camp II. Climbing from Camp II requires mostly steep mixed alleyways of rock, ice, and snow. A steep snow and ice tunnel leads from the slope to snow ground, then along the snow ridge to Camp III, and from here to the summit, it is a steep climb on snow and ice to the right of a huge hanging glacier. Stunning views of Everest 8848m, Lhotse 8516m, Island Peak, Makalu 8463m, Khumbu Himalayas and other snowcapped mountains can be seen from the top of Ama Dablam.

Information for Island peak: The majority of summits are located in the heart of Sherpa World. Through the Solu Khumbu, we take the classic Everest route. Namche Bazaar, the Sherpa capital, is deviating from the trail to Everest base camp. After crossing Chhukuma La at 6183m, we will enter the Gokyo valleys, a land of high altitude lakes and icy glaciers (As well as going to Gokyo valley and Chhukuma La Pass, you should proceed to Everest base camp). At 18,192 feet (5,545 meters), Kala Patthar offers spectacular views of the Khumbu glacier on the way to Everest base camp, 17,575 feet above sea level. You descend to Dingboche and go to Chukkung valley and Island (Imja Tse) Base Camp.

After spending a night at the high camp perched on the South West Ridge, we attempt the summit of 20,305ft. It is possible to see magnificent views of the Khumbu. When descending to base, you can see Chukkung valley's landscape. Island Peak is very easy and common; therefore, visitors from around the world are eager to see it. You can see the vistas of the Himalayas of Mount Everest, Mount Makalu, Mount Lhotse (over 8,000m), and many other mountains from there. After arriving at Lukla airstrip, you fly back to Kathmandu
