Pumori (7,161m \/ 23,494 ft) is an expedition peak in the Khumbu region of north-east Nepal, located on the Nepal-Tibet border immediately west of Everest Base Camp<\/a> and Kala Patthar<\/a>. The peak lies at approximately 27 degrees 58 minutes north latitude and 86 degrees 49 minutes east longitude, in the Sagarmatha National Park. The name Pumori means Unmarried Daughter in Sherpa, and the mountain is often called Everest Daughter due to its proximity to Everest and its similar pyramid shape. Pumori was first climbed on 17 May 1962 by a German-Swiss expedition led by Ernst Forrer, via the southeast face. The mountain is classified as an expedition peak requiring a climbing permit from the Ministry of Tourism.\n\nThe standard route climbs the southeast face, with Base Camp at approximately 5,300m near Everest Base Camp. The route establishes three high camps: Camp 1 at 5,700m on a broad snow shoulder, Camp 2 at 6,100m at the base of the southeast ridge, and Camp 3 at 6,500m on the ridge itself. The summit push from Camp 3 involves climbing 40-50 degree snow slopes with some short ice pitches on the upper mountain, with the final section traversing an exposed summit ridge to the top. The technical difficulty is rated AD+ on the Alpine grading system.\n\nPumori is one of the most popular 7,000m expedition peaks in Nepal due to its proximity to Everest Base Camp and the famous viewpoint of Kala Patthar (5,545m) at its base. The mountain is significantly more technical than Himlung Himal but is accessible to climbers with previous 6,000m peak experience and solid snow and ice climbing skills. The summit rewards climbers with one of the best views of Everest (8,849m) in the entire region - the summit looks directly across the Western Cwm at the South Col and the Southeast Ridge climbing route of Everest. The summit also offers views of Lhotse (8,516m), Nuptse (7,861m), Changtse (7,543m), and the Khumbu Glacier below.\n\nThe approach follows the classic Everest Base Camp trekking route from Lukla<\/a> through \ub0a8\uccb4\ubc14\uc790<\/a>, Tengboche<\/a>, Dingboche<\/a>, Lobuche, Gorak Shep, and Kala Patthar to Pumori Base Camp at 5,300m. The region is culturally Tibetan Buddhist Sherpa homeland, with traditional villages, ancient monasteries at Tengboche and Pangboche, and prayer walls along the trail. The best climbing seasons are spring (April-May) and autumn (October-November), with spring being more popular for Pumori due to more stable snow conditions.<\/p>\n","cost_includes":"All airport pickups and drops in private vehicle\nKathmandu hotel (3 nights, B&B) with welcome and farewell dinners\nDomestic flights where applicable to itinerary\nAll ground transport in private vehicle\nAll necessary permits (TIMS, National Park, Conservation Area, Restricted Area where applicable)\nThree meals daily (BLD) during the trek with tea\/coffee\nTea house or camping accommodation during the trek\nExperienced English-speaking trekking guide and assistant guide for groups of 6+\nPorters (1 per 2 trekkers, 15kg luggage allowance) with full insurance\nSleeping bag, down jacket, and duffel bag (refundable deposit)\nFirst-aid kit, pulse oximeter, and emergency oxygen\nSatellite phone for emergency communications\nAll government and local taxes\nClimbing permit fee (Ministry of Tourism)\nGarbage deposit and liaison officer fee\nClimbing guide (Sherpa, IFMGA-trained)\nHigh-altitude climbing Sherpa (1:2 ratio on summit day)\nClimbing equipment (crampons, ice axe, harness, helmet, ropes, carabiners, jumars, prusiks)\nHigh camp tents and cooking equipment\nOxygen cylinders for emergency (5+ bottles)\nGamow bag for altitude sickness\nSatellite phone for emergency communication\nBase camp services with full kitchen crew and dining tent","cost_excludes":"International airfare to and from Kathmandu\nNepal visa fee (USD 30 for 15 days, USD 50 for 30 days)\nTravel and high-altitude rescue insurance (mandatory)\nPersonal trekking gear and clothing\nHot showers, Wi-Fi, device charging, and alcoholic beverages\nLunch and dinner in Kathmandu\nTips for guide, porter, and driver (recommended 10-15% of trip cost)\nCosts from unforeseen events (weather, flight delays, route changes)","itineraries":[{"title":"\uce74\ud2b8\ub9cc\ub450 \ub3c4\ucc29","content":"\n

Above 3,500m, altitude sickness (AMS) affects 25-40% of trekkers. Our itinerary includes acclimatization days, guides carry pulse oximeters and emergency oxygen, and they are trained to identify early symptoms. Prevention: ascend slowly (no more than 300-500m sleeping altitude per day above 3,500m), drink 3-4 liters of water daily, avoid alcohol above 3,500m, eat light meals, and report any symptoms immediately. Travel insurance covering helicopter evacuation (USD 10,000) is mandatory.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
