Mt. Pumori is one of the best mountains for mountaineering in Khumbu region of the pyramid shape on the border between Nepal and Tibet of Nepal at altitude 7161m. It is undoubtedly the most famous 7000 meters mountain in Nepal for climbing. Pumori rewards the climber with astounding views of mountains such as Lhotse and Mount Everest. The name Pumori was coined by English mountaineer George Mallory, which in Sherpa language means &ldquo;Unmarried mountain's daughter&rdquo;. The daughter mountain was first climbed in 1962 by Gerhard Lenser along with his members of a German-Swiss expedition. It is not technically hard climbing but also needs moderate technical climb on ice and snow to reach the summit. The Mt Pumori expedition is also known as the best expedition for climbing Mt. Everest as it lies 8km west of Mt. Everest and will help you to climb Mt. Everest. Most people use South East Ridge to summit this mountain. To climb this expedition you need to pass through 3 camps name as Camp 1 (5700m), Camp 2 (6200m) and Camp 3 (6480m). You will go through these camps after base camp at altitude 5300m. From the summit of Mt. Pumori, you can see the scenic views of Mt. Lhotse and Mt. Everest. Best season to explore this stunning peak is September to November and March to May.

Mount Pumori Expedition

Arrival:
As you descend for the final approach to Kathmandu, you leave your dreams in the snow-capped mountains to your right and your curiosity is aroused, as you almost glide the length of the valley to touchdown. You will be greeted in true Nepali style at the airport by our representative who will accompany you to your hotel. Welcome drinks will be served and the itinerary will be discussed in evening at a cultural dinner program.

Kathmandu Sightseeing:
Kathmandu is the cultural and historical capital of Nepal; many places here symbolize art, history, architecture, and culture of Nepalese tradition. You’ll visit many Hindu and Buddhist Shrine. Our city guide will make sure that you don’t miss out any important place.

Official formalities in Kathmandu:
Today after lunch your expedition leader comes to meet you and check your equipment that is it working or not. Then after that, He will brief about the expedition like what types of problem you have to face and what you should do to overcome.

Fly to Lukla, Trek to Phakding (2656m):
There's no other way of putting it: the flight to Lukla is hair-raising indeed, but as you step down from the plane, you'll be taking your first monumental step on the path to Everest Base Camp. After reaching Lukla you’ll hike towards the village of Phakding where you’ll spend the night.

Trek to Namche (3450m):
This morning right after an early breakfast, your trek truly begins. On the path from Phakding, you’ll cross rivers by suspension bridges. The villages along the way will set the pace and before you know it you'll have reached the entrance to Sagarmatha National Park. The trail continues rising sharply to reach Namche bazaar. Here you'll spend the night in a hotel with good facilities.

Acclimatization:
 Acclimatizing is the key for successful expedition in this region because you’re ascending to the highest altitude towards the Everest. While your body is doing its work, you can explore the Namche Bazar where restaurants, Pubs, coffee shops etc are available. You can visit Khunde Hospital which was set-up by Sir Edmund Hillary, or a one hour walk up to the Everest View Hotel above Namche.From there you can watch the sunset over Ama Dablam, Nuptse, Lhotse and Everest.

Trek to Tengboche (3870m):
The day begins with an easy walk to Phulki and onwards to Tengboche village, famous for its monastery probably the largest in the Everest region. It is located within the Sagarmatha National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here you can see panoramic views that take in the whole range of the Himalayas, including Mt. Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, Ama Dablam and Thamserku. You will stay overnight in Tengboche.

Trek to Dingboche (4410m): Descending the trail, you'll wend your way through lush forests of birch, conifer and rhododendron trees. You’ll reach Pangboche by this downhill path to Debuche crossing the Imja River on the way. Continuing through the Imja Valley and crossing the Lobuche River you'll finally ascend to Dingboche. A bucolic scene awaits you here in this picturesque village with beautiful barley, potato and buckwheat field complete with grazing animals.

Trek to Lobuche (4940m):
The trail will become more and more challenging, as you climb to higher altitudes. We ascend to the steep terminal moraine of the Khumbu Glacier. The trail goes through boulder-strewn slopes as we make our way up Chupki Lhara, a ridge that provides spectacular views. The next part of our adventure brings over craggy mountain terrain to Lobuche, a small settlement with views of Mt. Lobuche, Mt. Pumori and the Nuptse.

Trek to Pumori Base Camp (5300m):
Today after breakfast you will head towards the Pumori base camp. Continuing the path, it will take 6 hours to reach there from the Lobuche.

Day 11 to 30 (Climbing period): This is the actual climbing period of Pumori and providing the detailed plan of day to day wouldn’t be convincing. It’s determined by the expedition leader that suits the pace of the team. First few days will be for training for climbing, organizing food, practicing rope skills, and acclimatizing before moving above the base camp. 
Three Camp shall be passed before we arrive at the summit. The Base camp is at the altitude of 5300m and the first camp will be set up at an altitude of 5,650 m, at the phase of Mt. Pumori.

The second camp will be set up at an altitude of 6,000m and third camp will be at an altitude of 6,480m. From Camp 3 we wait for the perfect weather conditions to climb the summit of the Mt. Pumori.

Trek back to Pheriche (4371m):
Today, after the finishing climbing period we will return to Pheriche.

Trek to Namche: 
Here is the turning point of the trek from where we descend back to Namche. The walk from Tengboche is mainly downhill. You’ll be in Namche, where you’ll spend your last day near the mountains.

Trek to Lukla: 
Straight after breakfast, you'll trek back to Lukla via Phakding. You’ll revisit all the spectacular views of mountains, monasteries, and villages. This will be your last night on the mountain.....until the next time.

Fly to Kathmandu:
The flights from Lukla to Kathmandu are sometimes canceled due to weather conditions, so we reserve a buffer day in order not to impact on your departure plans.

Departure: Today we will arrange the shopping arrangements before you leave the country. After the lunch program, you will be transferred to the airport by our representative.

Standing tall at 7,161m, Mt Pumori is a pyramid-shaped mountain in Khumbu region, a famous mountain for climbing in Nepal, first climbed by Gerhard Lenser.
