Altitude Sickness

Climbing the rough terrain to an altitude of 6856 meters within a span of 13 days is a tough task. It is a challenging task as it is a great climb but the toll on your body may be other than just fatigue. The inability of your body to adjust to the high altitude may cause altitude sickness.

This may result in altitude sickness. So be sure to take proper breaks and acclimatization during your actual climb. Also, be sure to listen and communicate with your guides and the team.

The technicality of the climb

Your professional guides will hello you with the technical parts but you will need some prior knowledge and training. The first two days of the official climb will be a tough technical section. So be careful during your Ama Dablam expedition.

Weather Conditions

Another important thing to consider is weather conditions. Benign a challenging climb, the last thing you want is bad weather creating more obstacles. The thrilling climb needs nice weather to be memorable and safe. So be careful to choose a time of the year when the weather is mostly stable. Choosing the best time for your trip is the best way to avoid any uncertain weather mishaps.

When is the Best Time?

Everything has a right time and place. As with everything, the Ama Dablam Expedition also has the right time for it to be accomplished successfully. As with many other climbing expeditions, some times of the year are great for mountaineering than others.

Choosing the best time for Ama Dablam Expedition 27 days itinerary can be a tiring decision. Check following season wise guide.

Autumn Season

Autumn starts in mid-September and lasts till November in Nepal. This is the best season for almost all trekking or mountaineering activities in Nepal. With the skies clearing from the rainy clouds and the cold winter breeze slowly closing in, the weather is just right for adventurous activities. You could say this is the season for adventures.

For the Ama Dablam Climbing, you get the best weather with less to no rain during the Autumn season. This means you get clear views of the mountains nearby along with safe routes. You don’t have to worry about the rain being an obstacle during your climb. Doing the climb anywhere from late September to November will be the best for a safe and adventurous trek.

Also, Nepal is famous for its culture and traditions. If you are someone who is interested in learning new cultures and traditions, this season provides you with the best opportunity to do so. Many festivities in Nepal lie in this particular season so have a taste of Nepalese culture and traditions during this festive month.

Spring Season

You can enjoy your Ama Dablam Expedition all throughout the 27 days with the beautiful views of the mountains along with many other natural beauties like the waterfalls, the flora and fauna, etc.

Spring also provides you with the best temperature and weather for mountaineering. The temperature, especially in spring is favorable for climbing and mountaineering as it is neither too hot nor too cold.

Summer Season

Starting from June to August, the summer season in Nepal is mostly rainy. The rain may get heavy after June causing small floods and slippery roads. So it is better to avoid late summer for trekking and mountaineering in Nepal.

However, you can try small treks and tours during the summer in Nepal. If you are willing to take the Ama Dablam Expedition in summer, try to manage the date in early June as there is less chance of heavy rainfall. Also, be sure to carry rain gears if you are trekking in the summer in Nepal.

Winter Season

Winter starts from early December and lasts all through February. The winter in the higher regions is extremely cold. The people from the higher regions move downhill to protect themselves from the cold. So it is not recommended to travel to higher altitudes or attempt the Ama Dablam Expedition in the winter season.
