This is the easier route to climb this peak and most of the expedition climbers climbed this peak so far have used this route. As you know Pumori is not easy as like the other mountain, 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 5300m. After base camp, you can set up at the altitude of 5300m .Set up your camp at the altitude of 5650m around the phase of Mt. Pumori. The most technical part for this peak is around camp 1 & 2. You should send 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 this route for the expedition to Mt. Pumori in every year. Some few climbers use south – West ridge of Pumori which is very difficult follows directly from the top of Kalapatthar and goes straight over the ridge nearly by 75 degree. Because of the difficulties on the way ascending, you should go to the normal route of Pumori.

Cho oyu Expedition

Cho-Oyu at 8201 metres/26,906 feet has only recently become a popular mountain to climb. It is now known to be one of the most accessible of the world’s fourteen 8,000 metre/26,500 foot mountains. This is because the ascent to the summit plateau is short and direct, with a few small technical sections, less than 6 metres/20 feet high, climbed using fixed lines. Additionally, the mountain can be easily reached by four-wheel-drive vehicle, and the trail to camp 1 at 6,400 metres/21,100 feet, is basically a steep walk on talus slopes, often done in sturdy leather trekking boots with good ankle support
