Mt. Pumori is one of the most popular and delightful mountain which is situated in the Northwest part of Nepal at Everest region (Khumbu). This is a moderate technical pyramid-shaped snow and rock mountain for climbing. It dominates the skyline behind Kala Pathar (5,545m.). This is a very easy peak to identify because of its unique shape. Pumori” means “Unmarried Daughter” in the language of Sherpas. Pumori expedition is a lifetime experience as the summit offers a mesmerizing view of the surrounding peaks in the Everest region. Generally easiest route is grade three although with significant avalanche danger. Our normal route is classic South-East Ridge. Mount Pumori was first climbed on May 17, 1962, by Gerhard Lenser on a German-Swiss expedition. The summit from Pumori provides excellent photography views of snowy mountains which will be a great perception for mountaineers. This is technically challenging mountain offering sections of wild exposure requiring climbers to have previous mountaineering experience and with excellent physical fitness level. Mt. Pumori Expedition is rewarded with stunning photographic views of snowy mountains including Mt. Everest and Mt. Lhotse.

Information about Camp:
Camp 01 - After climbing training and climbing preparation at Base Camp, we will walk about 3 hours to reach Camp I. We will walk about 500m. at the elevation of 40 to 65 degree to reach camp I (5,700m.). Mt. Pumori has many rocks, steep, some ice walls and tunnel climb. Sometimes you may need fixed ropes.

Camp 02 - It is located on a narrow ridge at altitude of 6,200m. The route further includes ice climb for about 400.

Camp 03 - It is at the altitude of 6,850m. From here we can reach the summit of Mt. Pumori. As the climb is still Ice climb and danger of crevasses, fix-ropes are most important to fix. The camp is also too windy.
