Mt. Pumori Expedition

Nepal » Mountain Expedition » Mt. Pumori Expedition

Pumori is one of the finest 7,000 m peaks that lies in the Upper Khumbu region of Nepal. It is ideal for those looking to pursue the 8,000 m peaks, or a fantastic climb in its own right. The route follows the south east buttress before it traverses to the East Ridge for the ascent. Requiring excellent physical endurance, Pumori offers wild views of Lhotse and Everest, with technical difficulty for any Himalayan alpinist. Pumori is a serious expedition peak designed only for experienced climbers. We need to have at least 3 camps after base amp to reach the summit. The base camp is just above Gorek Shep at the altitude of 5300m. After base camp, we can set up first camp at the altitude of 5,650m around the face of Mt. Pumori.

Best Season: April/May & Sep/Oct

Himalaya Heart Treks & Expedition will apply and obtain climbing permission and provide full support and all logistics including climbing Sherpas, high altitude climbing assistants, porters & cook. Please write to us all your requirements & we shall forward to you more details with tentative climbing cost.
