Ama Dablam (6812 m) is often described as the most starkly beautiful mountain in the world due to its dramatic and awe inspiring features. It is located in the heart of Khumbu region and lies next to well-worn path to the Everest Base Camp. The normal route to climb mount Ama Dablam is from its South- West ridge.
