Manaslu + Ama Dablam Combo Climb
Join the Manaslu team and finish your adventure by climbing Ama Dablam back to back! This combo provides an excellent opportunity to use your prior acclimatization on Manaslu to facilitate an expedited speed ascent of Ama Dablam in as little as 7 days.
Following your climb of Manaslu, you will return to the comfort of Kathmandu to celebrate with the team and enjoy a few days of rest and recovery before travelling into the Khumbu for your Ama Dablam climb.
Often referred to as the most beautiful mountain in the world, Ama Dablam is iconic in its shape and prominent in the Khumbu Valley of Nepal. This stunning peak is an iconic goal for climbers seeking steeper, technical climbing challenges.
This expedition provides full logistics, food, support, oxygen, and expert guidance for a summit attempt on Manaslu, the world’s 8th-tallest mountain, and Am Dablam. Our seasoned Sherpa team establishes and maintains the routes, fixes lines, and stocks each camp with the equipment and supplies you’ll need, allowing you to climb efficiently and focus on the ascent itself.
Though well protected with fixed lines, the climb demands a high level of fitness and solid technical ability. Those who reach the summit are rewarded with one of the most extraordinary panoramas in the Himalaya—stretching from Annapurna to Everest, a view that rivals the famed vista from Ama Dablam and reminds climbers why these two peaks make such a powerful Himalayan pairing.
This is your opportunity to tag two Himalayan gems in a single trip.
