It is located in the Mansiri Himal, part of the Nepalese Himalayas, in the west-central part of Nepal.

Ama Dablam is a mountain in the Himalaya range of eastern Nepal. The main peak is 6,856 m, the lower western peak is 6,170 m. Ama Dablam means "Mother's necklace"; the long ridges on each side like the arms of a mother (ama) protecting her child, and the hanging glacier thought of as the dablam, the traditional double-pendant containing pictures of the gods, worn by Sherpa women. For several days, Ama Dablam dominates the eastern sky for anyone trekking to Mount Everest basecamp.
