POKALDE PEAK
Pokalde is one of the easy trekking peaks for climbing which
can be combined with Everest base camp trek. From Lobuche
the peak looks interesting rising to the south of Kongma La
(5,535m.) and the summit of the peak provides a good
viewpoint for the panoramic views of the Himalayas.
The peak can be approached from either Bibre or Dughla.
These two routes provide several ways to approach the peak:
North Ridge, North – East Face, North – West Face, South
Face etc. For Bibre route, we will follow Everest trekking
trail up to Tsuro Og and trek to Yarsa. Base camp will be
set up near the lakes beneath the Kongma La. We climb to a
rugged pass and follow beautiful snow ridge and cross rocky
pinnacles. We continue following the ridge to a little more
difficult climb through stones and finally to the narrow
rocky summit. The North – East Face of the mountain from
east of Kongma La could be the easiest way to get to the
summit. We climb up through broken rocks and snow to the
summit ridge and then to the summit.
