7 May - We did it! Today, the entire Team Lobuche + Ama Dablam pulled into Pangboche after a successful and genuinely fun summit of Lobuche Peak. The climb was exhilarating, and the energy is high as we shift our focus to the next big challenge.
Tomorrow’s plan: We head to Ama Dablam Basecamp, where the rest of our Ama Dablam team is already waiting for us. I can already tell – that reunion is going to be something special.
The weather, though? Classic Himalayan unpredictability. Today has been a real mixed bag. The morning started with heavy snowfall, which seriously cut down visibility. But, as the day wore on, the skies began to clear. Now we’re being treated to some of the most incredible mountain views you can imagine. Moments like this make it all worth it.
Right now, as I’m writing this blog, please take a moment to check out the stunning Ama Dablam in the photo below. Absolutely breathtaking.
Stay tuned as we continue pushing toward Ama Dablam. Next stop: Basecamp.

28 April - Expedition Update: Lobuche–Ama Dablam Team Progress
The expedition team for Lobuche and Ama Dablam reached Namche Bazaar
The team took a rest day on April 29 at Namche Bazaar. During this time, the weather was a bit foggy with some light rain, which is slightly unusual for this season but did not affect the team’s routine.
After the rest day, the team left Namche Bazaar and has now arrived at Pangboche. They are currently resting, enjoying hot drinks, and spending time together in good spirits.
Along the trail, the team enjoyed beautiful views of blooming rhododendrons, adding vibrant color to the journey.

27 April - Today we reached Phakding. Our Ama Dablam–Lobuche team arrived on 25 April. We completed all last-minute shopping for the climb and attended our mandatory meeting and briefing. This morning, we woke up at 4:30 a.m. to fly to Lukla. We went down to the hotel lobby at 5:00 a.m. with all our climbing and trekking bags and headed to the domestic airport. Unfortunately, we couldn’t get on our scheduled flight because of bad weather , but we were fortunate to find a helicopter which could fly in a small weather window as well. In the end, we successfully flew to Lukla with all our bags. Thank you very much weather for granting us the for flying. Tomorrow, we plan to hike to the famous Namche Bazaar.
