A permit is necessary to climb Mount Ama Dablam, and it may only be obtained through an authorized local business in Nepal. The law dictates that guides must be present on high Nepal peaks that are above 6,000 meters. Because a successful expedition requires a strong team composed of a competent base camp staff and knowledgeable, competent, and trustworthy climbing Sherpa guides, we urge all climbers to hire a guide. You'll also need a trekking guide and potters to assist you until base camp.
