Baden Powell Scout Expedition – 16 Days

Baden-Powell Scout Expedition, a mushroom shaped mountain situated in the Langtang region in Nepal, is part of the Himalayan range. Standing roughly a hundred miles west of Mount Everest on the Nepal-China border, Baden Powell Scout Peak presents itself as an alluring alternative to Imja Tse or Island Peak in the Khumbu region. Majestic peaks like Langtang II, Langtang Lirung, Dorje Lakpa, and Shishapangma in Tibet rise up around it. Previously known as Urkema Peak, it was renamed Baden-Powell Scout Peak in 2007 by the Nepalese government to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Scouting and honor Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of the World Scouting movement. To mark the occasion, an international team of scouts from Australia, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Singapore embarked on the inaugural trek to the peak.
