Mt Pumori Expedition (7161m)

36 Days Spring Nepal
Description:

Mt Pumori, a mountain 7161m high lays 8 kilometers west to the Mt Everest in the Mahalangur section of the Himalayas. Pumori is formed from two different words Pumo and Ri where Pumo means daughter and Ri means mountain. Hence, Pumori got its name from George Mallory, as it is regarded as the daughter of Mt Everest by some climbers.  

Most climbers prefer climbing Mt Pumori before actually heading to Everest as it poses some kind of challenges and once submitted prepares you to climb Everest. The route is quite technical and challenging as there is always a risk of Avalanches in this region. The top of the summit offers a distinct view of Everest, and other Himalayan ranges in Nepal as well as Tibet.

The expedition to Pumori is adventurous, thrilling and very rewarding. The first ascent to Mt Pumori was made on 17th May 1962 by Gerhard Lenser from the German-Swiss Expedition. Later in 1996, a new route was devised from the south face by two Czechs.
