Route highlights
Pumori (7161m), the mountain in the Mahalangur section of the Himalayas, on the Nepal-Tibet border is one of the very famous seven thousand in the world. Located 8 kilometers west of Mt. Everest, this pyramid-shaped mountain’s summit presents a mind-blowing view of Tibet, Nepal, Everest, Lhotse, and other peaks in the upper Khumbu region of Nepal. Pumori (meaning “Unmarried Daughter” in the Sherpa language) as named by George Leigh Mallory is also famous as Everest’s Daughter”. First climbed on May 17, 1962, by Gerhard Lenser, a member of the German-Swiss expedition, Pumori now is also famous as a training peak, before climbing Everest.
The Pumori Expedition: This expedition in total is a 37-day expedition, in which 18 days are set aside to climb the mountain. The expedition begins with a flight to Lukla from Kathmandu. Trekking from Lukla to the base camp of Pumori requires about 9 days. The climbing day starts on day 12 and for the next 18 days, we will be spent climbing Pumori. Starting base camp at 5,300m, above Gorak Shep at the base of Kala Patthar, we climb the mountain from the South-East Ridge. 3 camps: camp 1 at 5700m, camp 2 at 6200m, and camp 3 at 6480m will be set above the base camp. From the base camp to Camp I the route passes through the glaciers, from Camp I to Camp II is a 40-60 climb on a snow wall, and from camp II to camp III is through the ice walls and crevasses. From camp III, passing through the crevasses we climb up to the Pumori cliff and then, finally ascent the summit. Climbing Pumori also requires a lot of technical climbing. The view of Nepal, Tibet, Everest, and other surrounding peaks are simply marvelous.
Amigo Treks and Expedition make every possible arrangement to help you enjoy a hassle-free expedition while maximizing the summit opportunity. Full board (meal and accommodation) will be arranged both during the trek and the climb (only bed and breakfast in Kathmandu). During the trek, food and accommodation will be arranged in teahouses/lodges; however, during the climb, our experienced cooks and helpers will serve three freshly cooked and plentiful meals and hot and cold drinks 24 hours a day. Accommodation during the climb will be in the tent. Moreover, we also provide a dining tent, kitchen tent, toilet facilities, portable shower facilities, and tent accommodation for our staff, in the base camp. For communication, we provide satellite telephones, internet access, and handheld radios. We also provide solar panels to charge the batteries. We only provide experienced, trained, licensed, and English-speaking trekking and climbing guide that is dedicated to providing professional service. Moreover, we arrange all permits, necessary documents, and transportation required during the expedition.
Late spring is the best season to plan Mt. Pumori Expedition. Bring a group and get a special group discount. You can also ask us to customize the package if you need to add up or remove certain services. Moreover, if you are looking to try some other expeditions in the Khumbu region, we can also arrange the very popular Everest Expedition or even Lhotse Expedition.
