News Stardom : Kolkata, 28th. October, 2020. MT. AMA DABLAM (6,812 m) EXPEDITION, 2020.
Overview: —
Located in the Himalayan range near Mt. Everest, Ama Dablam, popularly known as the “Matterhorn of the Himalaya” for its stunning shape. Ama Dablam is one of the most gorgeous mountains in the world. Height of the main peak is 6,812 metres (22,349 ft). Ama Dablam means “Mother’s necklace”; the long ridges on each side like the arms of a mother (ama) protecting her child, and the hanging glacier thought of as the dablam, the traditional double-pendant containing pictures of the gods, worn by Sherpa women. Ama Dablam characterizes itself with its unique pyramid shape. Mt. Ama Dablam is located in the Khumbu region of Nepal, south of Mt. Everest.
The usual ascension to Ama Dablam is done from the South-western ridge. This was the same route followed by the climbers who reached to the top for the first time to the top in 1961. Commonly, climbers set up three camps just below and the right of the hanging glacier, “Dablam”. The hike is modest up to camp 1, but the challenge starts from camp 1 to camp 2 as it gets more technical in the narrow edges of ridges made from granite. This challenge increases even more from camp 2 to camp 3. Some risk of glacier falls cannot be escaped but it is said that, adventure without risk is Disneyland. One should train himself the skills of rock and ice climbing and get used to high altitude before thinking of Ama Dablam.
The Team consists of Debasish Biswas, Satyarup Siddhanta, Malay Mukherjee and Kiran Patra. The Sherpa Leader is Tashi Sherpa of Darjeeling (Brother of Pemba Sherpa). The Agency of this expedition is Seven Summit Treks of Kathmandu, Nepal.
