Mount Ama Dablam is a beautiful snow-capped mountain located almost southwest of Mt. Everest and Lhotse in the Khumbu region. It is a steep pyramid of ice with vertical walls and sharp, exposed ridges. Mount Ama Dablam leaves a lasting impression on many trekkers in Nepal, as it is perhaps the most stunning mountain along the popular trekking route to Everest Base Camp.
The Southwest Ridge is the normal and most popular route for ascending Mt. Ama Dablam. Our ascent is also made from the Southwest Ridge route, a technical route with three camps above Base Camp. The climb is usually completed in less than five weeks. The route involves pure rock climbing on exquisite granite followed by mixed snow and rock climbing. The last section to the summit involves ice climbing followed by a long steep snow slope up to the top.

Thanks for a very memorable Annapurna Trek that you and your group managed for my party. We found the Mountain Hawk team to be excellent, and everyone involved did their utmost to ensure our trip was successful, safe, and enjoyable. Our trek leader, Badri Karki was great, and he really went the extra mile to make sure our trekking experience was first rate. Thanks again, and best wishes.
I had a wonderful week in Nepal in 2007 on the Poon Hill trek. I was very fortunate to have Prem Pandit as my guide. Prem is a very experienced guide who speaks excellent English. He was a delight to spend time with as he was able to tell me all about the mountains and the flora and fauna. He was also able to tell me about the local customs and lifestyles of the people who live in the small Himalayan villages. Prem goes out of his way to make sure that you are comfortable at all times. I wholeheartedly recommend Prem as a guide. He is absolutely first class.
Mountain Hawk Treks organised a great trek for my family and I during the month of August 2011. The team of porters and our guide were excellent and very attentive. We had beautiful weather and plenty of wildlife. All in all it was everything we wanted. Will be coming back for sure!
Another chapter added to our lives. Mahesh and the whole Mountain Hawk team, big thanks for an experience we won't forget. From the most dangerous aadmi!
