Both the text and the attached photograph refer to "Pumori".

Technically the name "Pumori" is incorrect.

In Nepali, "ri" = "mountain".

Thus the correct name is "Pumo Ri".

For example, Kala Pattar's equivalent "hill" just a few miles west in the Gokyo Valley is "Gokyo Ri", and not "Gokyori."

It's not a big deal since "Pumori" is in fact used colloquially 99 percent of the time, despite it being incorrect.

I've also noted this on the talk page for the gallery kalapattar.jpg.
