The trail to this peak begins from Lukla and takes you to the bustling Namche Bazaar before heading into the high Valleys of the Khumbu. Pokhalde peak is a complex mountain which tapers off from the south west ridge of Nuptse South and Kongma Tse, with the Kongma la dividing the two. The pass is very interesting as it is used as a yak herder’s route between grazing pastures. The base camp is situated at a lake just below Kongma La. The climb is steep but straight forward with good views of the valley. To reach the summit you have to scramble for a bit over the rocky surface but its well worth your efforts.
