Pumori is not easy as like the other mountains, there are difficult technical parts in this route while climbing to Pumori, you should take climbing Sherpa and who will guide you to reach the summit. You need to have at least 3 camps after base camps to reach the summit. The base camp is just above Gorakhshep at the attitude of 5300 m. After base camp, you can set up at the altitude of 5300 m. Set up your camp at the altitude of 5650 m around the phase of Mt. Pumori. The most technical part for this peak is around camp 1 & 2. You should spend your time at camp 3 at the altitude of 6480 around the corner after the ridge. You can ascent summit from the camp 3 to the top of Pumori.
Most of the climbers use a normal route for this expedition every year. Some few climbers use South – West ridge of Pumori which is very difficult and follows directly from the top of Kalapatthar and goes straight over the ridge nearly by 75 degrees. Because of the difficulties on the way ascending, you should go to the normal route of Pumori.
