Mountaineers usually have to pitch 3 high camps on the mountain of mount Ama Dablam 6812m.
To reach the first camp from base camp, the climbers have to pass the toughest and the difficult passing through the difficult saddle ridges; and then should turn to the north climbing up through the rocky ground and through the boulder. We are in Camp one now. From Camp I - one has to cross the rocky bowl and should climb the ridge via the fixed lines to Camp II. From Camp II after crossing over severe rocks and ridge which lead you to a camp 2.The climbing route from Camp II is mostly with the steep mixed alleyways of rock, ice and snow.

Information for Island peak:
Most of the summits lie in the heart in Sherpa World. We follow the classic Everest approach through the Solu Khumbu. Sherpa capital of Namche Bazaar is veering off the trail to Everest base camp. We will enter the magnificent Gokyo valleys, a land of high altitude lakes and icy glaciers, after crossing Chhukuma La at 6183m. (except going to Gokyo valley and Chhukuma La Pass you should proceed towards Everest base camp as well) we go towards the Khumbu glacier en route to Everest base camp 17,575ft and you can enjoy spectacular panorama from Kala Patthar at 18,192ft (5,545m.).
