Two iconic summits. One exceptional Himalayan journey.

Experience the Khumbu in its most refined form with an exclusive ascent of Lobuche Peak (6,119m) and Ama Dablam (6,812m). Designed for experienced mountaineers, this expedition combines technical Himalayan climbing with exceptional service, thoughtful acclimatization, and seamless expedition logistics.

Begin with Lobuche Peak, an ideal high-altitude ascent to prepare for the greater challenge ahead. Then progress toward the striking slopes of Ama Dablam, where steep ice, exposed rock, fixed ropes, and dramatic ridgelines create one of the Himalayas’ most rewarding technical climbs.

Beyond the summits, discover the elegance of the Khumbu—Sherpa villages, ancient monasteries, pristine valleys, and extraordinary views of Everest and the surrounding Himalayan giants.

With expert high-altitude Sherpa leadership, carefully arranged accommodation, premium expedition support, comprehensive logistics, and dedicated safety coordination, every detail is managed so you can remain focused on the mountain.

Lobuche prepares you. Ama Dablam defines the journey.
