TRIP OVERVIEW:

Pumori is a beautiful pyramid-shaped peak spreading in the Nepal-China border in the Mahalangur section of the Himalayas and has a height of 23,495 ft. It dominates the skyline behind Kala Pathar (19,000 ft). This is a very easy peak to identify because of its unique shape.” Pumori, meaning "the Mountain Daughter" in Sherpa language, was named by George Mallory. "Pumo" means young girl or daughter and "Ri" means mountain in Sherpa language. Climbers sometimes refer to Pumori as "Everest's Daughter". Mallory also called Clare Peak, after his daughter.

Climbing routes go via the southeast ridge, this is a technically challenging mountain offering sections of wild exposure requiring climbers to have previous mountaineering experience and excellent physical fitness level. Mt. Pumori Expedition is rewarded with stunning photographic views of snowy mountains including Mt. Lhotse and Mt. Everest.
