Pokhalde Peak poses few difficulties and it is often used as a warm-up for other Himalayan Peaks. It is one of the so-called ‘trekking peaks’ of Nepal and it does not require a huge amount of mountaineering skill. The term trekking peak is, however, a little misleading for some of these peaks which should be approached seriously. Most people climb the north ridge from the Kongma La. It is also possible to climb the South ridge (see route section.)
The mountain lies to the east of the Khumbu Valley which leads all the way up to Everest base camp. Pokalde is around two or three miles from Everest but the Lhotse ridge obscures the view of the highest point on Earth from the summit.
From the hamlet of Lobuche, which consists of only a handful of trekking lodges, the Pokhalde Peak does look impressive as a high point on the ridge across the valley. It sits above the Kongma La (pass) and in comparison to the busy paths leading to Everest, the route is infrequently travelled. The mountain is, of course, dwarfed by its impressive neighbors but nevertheless it is a worthwhile side trip from a trek.
- Since the terrain can be hard and the days long
- Hikers on these treks should be in good physical condition and have some previous mountain walking experience.
- But It does not require any technical experience.
- Steep climbing may be involved, although it is never necessary to use ropes.
