About BadenPowell Peak
Baden-Powell Peak, also known as Urkema Peak, is located in the Helambu region of Nepal and forms part of the Langtang Himal range. The peak was renamed in 2007 in honor of Lord Baden-Powell, the founder of the Scout Movement, to commemorate the centennial of Scouting. It stands at a height of 5,718 meters (18,753 feet) and has become a popular destination for trekkers and mountaineers. The peak offers stunning views of the Langtang range and the rich cultural experiences of the Tamang and Sherpa communities. The trek to the base camp of Baden-Powell Peak traverses through the lush forests of the Helambu region, dotted with Buddhist monasteries and picturesque villages. The climb itself is challenging but rewarding, with technical aspects that require good mountaineering skills. The journey to the summit provides climbers with an opportunity to experience the serenity and majesty of the Himalayas while also embracing the spiritual and cultural heritage of the local communities.

Beautiful Poon Hill Trek
The whole trip was an experience for a lifetime! From the pickup in Kathmandu over the trip on astonishing existing and busy roads to the cosy tea houses with overwhelming views on deep valleys and high snowy mountains, all was well prepared and planned. Praksh knows the people in the area very well and is always up for a joke. It was very motivating to hike with him and his friends and also to see how well they managed to bring even the weakest to the finish line. It was a hiking with - not against each other. I'll definitely come back to see this beautiful country with his unique nature and warm culture of open-minded people again.
