Baden-Powell Peak

Baden-Powell Peak rises to an elevation of 5,710 meters in the Himalayas, featuring steep snow-covered slopes that require technical climbing skills to ascend.

The Nepalese government renamed Urkema Peak to Baden-Powell Scout Peak in 2007 to commemorate the centenary of the World Scouting movement.

The mountain serves as a symbol of international cooperation, with climbing teams from multiple Asian nations participating in organized expeditions throughout the year.

The climbing season extends from March to May and September to November, with a complete expedition typically requiring 15 days from Kathmandu.

The summit provides direct views into Tibet, with clear sightlines to major peaks including Shishapangma and the Langtang Lirung Massif.
