Pokhalde is quite a complex mountain,
although its basic situation is simple; it's a section
of the long tapering SW Ridge of Nuptse South of Kongma
Tse with the Kongma La dividing the two. This pass is
used as a yak route between grazing at Chhukung and the
Khumbu. Although below 6000m and 20000ft the view is
reward enough for a few hours scrambling. The lake below
the Kongma La is a good spot for BC. From here the route
is up a steep but straightforward trail. The last 50
meters to the top is rather steep so may need a rope
Adventure begins with a brief flight to Lukla, and next
day taking an easy walk to a bustling Namche Bazaar.
Before our explorations of the high valleys of Khumbu….
This unique itinerary takes us into high and deep
valleys, providing magnificent view of the breathtaking
sky soaring peaks. All the way we get wonderful
opportunity for having the close views of the famous and
interesting mountain peaks including-Gokyo Ri (5,496
m.), Kala Pattar (5,634 m.), Pokhalde (5,806 m.), Island
Peak (6,199 m.), Cho-Oyu (8,201 m.), Lhotse (8,516 m.),
Makalu (8,463 m.) and the Mt. Everest (8,848 m.) - the
world's No. 1 greatest mountain on earth, and you can
feel proud to yourself with the knowledge that many of
the world's famous climbers once upon a time have passed
this way. You enter the awesome Valley - the magical
Imja Khola Valley crossing a high Pass called the Kongma
La (5,520 m.). You will be camping just below this Pass
for easy access and to enable you to climb the 5,806
meter high Pokalde. The climb is relatively easy with a
scramble to the rocky summit and there be regretless as
you can enjoy the stunning best views of the Mt.
Everest, Makalu, Cho-Oyu, Pumori Lhotse and Nuptse,

Equipments checklists -
climbing trips
In addition to the above list of suggested
trekking equipment, you should take along with
various items of mountaineering tools. For any
trip which has crossed by steep, snow-covered
ground, or which has included section of glacier
travel, it might be necessary for the group
roping up as a safety precaution. To facilitate
this process of roping up, you will need to
maintain a minimum requirement, a climbing
harness, a climbing sling and two locking
carabineers. Plastic mountaineering boots, a
mountaineering ice axe and a pair of crampons
with front points are the other items of
equipment, which are required for our trekking
peak trips. (Please note: Our recommendation
that you take no more than 33 pounds of trekking
equipment DOES NOT include your plastic boots,
ice axe, crampons or harness/carabineers. During
the trek, climbing hardware will be carried
separately from your personal trek bag in-group
bags until needed).
An explanation of the equipment that you will
need
Daypacks for climbing trips
3000-4000 cubic inches. For climbing trips, you
will be required to carry more warm clothing
during the climbs and also your personal
climbing gear. For this reason, you will need a
slightly bigger daypack than for a trekking-only
trip. If you have any questions about gear,
please do not hesitate to call our office for
advice.
Equipment Rental
In order to minimize your expense outlay for
trekking and climbing equipment you may never
use again, we offer a wide range of equipment
available for rent for the duration of your
trip. All rental equipment can be picked up from
