Mt. Pumori Expedition

A member of our staff wearing your name tag will be waiting to greet you as soon as you exit the arrivals area at Tribhuvan International Airport.

After that, you will be driven to your hotel in the heart of the city and assisted with check-in. After a little respite, you have the option of continuing to relax or beginning your exploration of the city.

We will drive to Boudhanath Stupa, the largest Buddhist pilgrimage site in Nepal if you are interested and time permits, where we will have a good time and watch the sunset from one of the rooftop restaurants.

As soon as you enter the stupa’s gate, you’ll experience the serenity and see visitors and pilgrims making a kora, or circumambulation, to the main stupa.

From there, we will take a 15-minute journey to Pashupatinath Temple to attend the evening Aarti, which begins at around 7 o’clock. One of the four most important Hindu monuments in the world,

Pashupatinath Temple is located next to the airport on the banks of the revered Bagmati River. On the opposite side, you can see both an open-air cremation and an aarti ritual.

After walking through Thamel’s streets and returning to the city’s core, we leave you off at your hotel.

The two days will be spent exploring some of Kathmandu Valley’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites. After a sumptuous breakfast, your tour guide will pick you up from your hotel to begin a full day of escorted sightseeing.

Most of the seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the Kathmandu Valley will be seen by us. If we were able to view Boudhanath and Pashupatinath the day before, we would bypass them and concentrate on the remaining attractions, including Kathmandu Durbar Square, Swayambhunath Temple, Boudhanath Stupa, Patan Durbar Square, Bhaktapur Durbar Square.

One of the main sights in the Kathmandu Valley is Swayambhunath, which is perched atop a hill and offers a panoramic view of the city of Kathmandu and the surrounding high hills.

Nearly 4 kilometers from Thamel, this Buddhist pilgrimage destination is equally popular with Hindus and people of various religions.

One of the most exquisite displays of Nepalese craftsmanship may be found in Lalitpur, the city of beauty, at Patan Durbar Square. Within the compound of the Malla kings’ palaces are several historical and cultural attractions.

The Royal Palace, the Royal Bath, Sundari Chowk, and Krishna Mandir are significant treasures of medieval culture. Similar to this, the royal complex is home to several monuments that date back many centuries.

One of the most well-preserved historical sites in the Kathmandu Valley is Bhaktapur Durbar Square, which is situated in Bhaktapur, also referred to as the “city of devotees.”

The craftsmanship, fine art, and architecture of the magnificent palace complex, temples, and monuments are truly fascinating. The Golden Gate, the Palace with the 55 windows, and the Nyatapola Temple, among other famous landmarks, may be found here.

Kathmandu Durbar Square is a popular tourist attraction in Kathmandu, and it is located in the city’s heart, just a short walk from Thamel.

Due to its historical significance and beautiful Newari architectural design, it is the third durbar square in the valley and a must-see in Kathmandu. The most well-known locations are Kumari Ghar, Kasthamandap, Tajeju Bhawani Mandap, Kaal Bhairav Mandap, and Hanuman Dhoka Museum.

Above all, we’ll finish up the necessary paperwork and start further Pumori Expedition preparations. You can also take a tour through the historic marketplaces in Ason and New Road to see how Nepali markets operate.

Those who are interested can also experience something new by riding in a rickshaw through Thamel’s streets.

The Thamel market has great places to buy or rent hiking and expedition gear, so you can do any last-minute shopping there for the expedition. Before we set out on our excursion tomorrow, enjoy your dinner and have a nice night.

Today, we’ll fly to Lukla from Tenzing Norgay Airport, which is regarded as one of the most daring airports in the world.

The primary gateway to the Khumbu Region is Lukla, where we will fly early in the morning on a Twin Otter. You get a breathtaking glimpse of Everest in the distance during this risky and exciting trip.

We will meet the expedition crew in Lukla when we arrive, and we’ll then begin walking to Phakding (2610m).

Phakding, a small settlement on the main commercial route through the region, is located at the bank of the Dudh Koshi River, which drains the entire Khumbu region. We’re going to be in sturdy lodges.

We set off on this lovely excursion upstream, following the Dudh Kosi valley. On the first day of the magnificent trek to Mount Pumori, get prepared to be astounded. We will cross and recross the raging Imja Khola as the day goes on using reliable suspension bridges.

The excursion will primarily be on a plain stretch as we will be walking along the banks for the majority of today. But before the day’s walk is over, there will be one more difficult ascent to the Sherpa capital of Namche Bazaar (3440m).

After checking into our cozy lodge, the remainder of the day is free for lounging about or touring the bazaar.

Today is the rest day of our trip at €namche Bazaar and during our stay at Namche Bazaar, we will explore the nearby surrounding and explore the vicinity of the place. Similarly, this day is important in the expedition.

During the expedition, there is a lot of hardship. so, it is important When traveling at high altitudes, acclimatization is required. Therefore, to acclimate to the low oxygen levels, we will spend a day at Namche.

We will spend this acclimatization day hiking and relaxing, which will enable fasting acclimation in the altitude location. We will climb Syangboche hill after breakfast (3900m).

The entire Everest region, including Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, Kusum Kanguru, Tawache, Kunde, and numerous smaller snow-capped peaks, can be seen from this vantage point.

Additionally, we’ll go to Khumjung, a high Himalayan Sherpa village from which you can overlook the Hillary school. We then go a short distance by foot from Khumjung to the town of Khunde, where we visit the Khunde monastery.

Here, you can witness a clear representation of the Sherpa culture and customs in the area as well as a sculpture of the “Yeti,” about whom you may only have heard rumors.

We will travel back to Namche for an overnight stay after visiting these magnificent viewing places.

Today, we proceed along the Imja Khola’s banks to reach Thyangboche (3867m). Starting the hike requires climbing up a steep hill outside of Namche Bazaar to reach the trail.

To get to the new elevation, though, we must first get beyond that obstacle and continue on the well-maintained trail.

You won’t be disappointed when you get there because of the wonderful settlement that is situated on a ridge beneath the stunning north ridge of the Kang Taiga. The hike’s biggest feature is that practically the whole length of the trail offers views of Mount Everest’s peak.

After our climb for the day, we’ll relax at a hotel close to one of Nepal’s most significant monasteries, which also happens to be the largest in the Khumbu region.

The highest of the ancient, permanent habitations in the valley, Pangboche, is passed as we resolutely make our way towards the seasonal settlement of Dingboche (4350m).

This day’s walk is a little more difficult because there has been a bigger height rise than the previous two days. The hike is completely worthwhile, though, because mountains surround you. At Dingboche, we spend the night in a lodge.

To acclimatize, we will climb a little bit of height today. We start the day by ascending the upper Imja Valley on a hard, rocky trail to Chukung (4730m), which is beneath the magnificent south face of Lhotse. We return to Dingboche to stay at the lodge for a second night after becoming accustomed to climbing at such high altitudes.

Our trail takes us away from Dingboche and downhill to the Pheriche village.

On this day, one of the most breathtaking treks is over a ridge to Dugla and then on to the Khumbu Glacier. After around two hours of hiking from Pheriche, we will reach Dugla at 4,595 meters with a modest wooden bridge spanning the Khumbu glacier river.

At Dugla, we’ll eat lunch before continuing our hour-long ascent. Throughout our trip, we will be treated to breathtaking vistas of Mount Pumori and other lofty mountains west of Everest. Until we get to Lobuche, where we will spend the night, we continue our trek.

From Lobuche, we travel further today to the Pumori Base Camp. Our Sherpa team will quickly establish a base camp and start preparing for the remainder of the climb up Mount Pumori as we get to the campsite.

We’ll spend many days honing our climbing techniques and acclimatizing properly. And on the day of the summit, well acclimatized and with all the appropriate climbing gear, we will tackle numerous technical climbing parts under the guidance and instruction of our experienced climbing specialists.

In consideration of the weather, we make the ascent of Mount Pumori.

The amazing views of Everest, Lhotse, Cho Oyu, Makalu, Nuptse, and several other snow-capped high peaks in Nepal’s Khumbu region are our reward for the arduous climb to the summit of Mt. Pumori.

Before returning to base camp via the same trail we took to the top, we’ll spend some quality time at the peak.

We pack our possessions today and get ready for the journey back. After breakfast, we depart the Base Camp and start walking back along the same route that leads to Lobuche.

On our way back to Pangboche for the night, our road progressively descends from Lobuche as we travel through the towns of Pheriche and Dingboche.

As we head downhill toward Deboche, we leave Pangboche behind. Before reaching Tyangboche, our trail then ascends for a while through a wonderful pine forest. After that, the trail is flat for a while until we start our gradual descent to Phunke Tenga.

Our trail turns into a somewhat uphill hike as we get closer to Kyangjuma. The journey back to Namche Bazaar, the Sherpa capital, is pleasant from that point on. Feel free to browse the neighborhood stores and souvenir shops in Namche Bazaar in the evening.

We go from Namche Bazaar to Lukla via Monjo on the last day of our trip. Rhododendron, oak, and pine trees line our trail as it descends into a verdant woodland. Following the crests and troughs, we stroll down the Dudh Kosi River’s green banks.

With a slight climb in the terrain that we will follow to our Lukla lodge at the end of the day, we can anticipate a largely downward route to our destination.

The final celebration of our team with beer opening and delectable food. Overnight there.

Today, we get ready for a magnificent early-morning flight from Lukla back to Kathmandu. After landing at the airport in Kathmandu, you will be taken to the hotel.

Either choose guided sightseeing in the locations you missed on your second day of vacation or take a nap at the hotel.

The discomfort and exhaustion from hiking can also be relieved by visiting a spa or massage facility.

Today is a free day, so you may explore some of Kathmandu’s historical landmarks or wander through Thamel to finish up any last-minute shopping and pick up some gifts for loved ones.

In the evening, enjoy a farewell supper and cultural performance with a group of Himalayan trekkers at a genuine Nepali restaurant.
