Ama Dablam is surely one of the most
beautiful of mountains and probably the most striking
of views. From one angle the mountain sits serenely
with its ridges extending towards you like welcoming
arms whilst high on the South-West face a hanging
glacier resembles a Dablam, the sacred ornamental
box worn by the Sherpini, and from which the mountain
takes its name. |

Pashupatinath (a major Hindu shrine) and the giant
Buddhist Stupa at Boudhanath are absolute musts. Our
