Pokalde Peak Climbing, proudly standing at the elevation of 5,806m-19048ft above sea level. It is one of the most carefully designed Trekking Trails in the most popular Khumbu Region of Nepal. Climbing Pokalde Peak is considerably taken as one of the most difficult peaks to be climbed because of constituent appearing challenges and obstacles in the journey. It is most common to face some challenges and difficulties in such a Peak Climbing journey, but proper climbing training and physical fitness allow tackling upcoming obstacles and make your journey completely adventurous and explorative.
However, Pokalde Peak falls in group B, by Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA), and is considered the most demanding peak to be climbed. Especially, the Peak Climbing trail follows the completely unfrequented trail in the backdrop of the towering Himalayas, providing you with unique exploration and offerings. The first ascend to Pokalde Peak was made via the cliff, which is connected to Kongma La Pass (5,535m-18159ft) with a peak, and it was made in late 1953.
Pokalde Peak Climbing journey is the most fascinating trip towards the countryside and mountainous region of the country. The scenes and views you were eager to capture in your whole life are going to be fulfilled on each day of this trek. Our journey completely lies in the backdrop of Himalayan ranges in the eastern part of the country. The Pokalde Peak Base Camp is considered an amazing creation of nature, which lies just below the Kongma La Pass. Kongma La Pass is considered one of the highest passes of the Everest region, at an elevation of 5,535m-18159ft from sea level, housing a beautiful glacial lake in the middle of the pass. The base camp and the summit of Pokalde Peak are just 650 meters apart, so it won’t be much trouble to summit the peak after reaching the base camp. But, still, you have to face some challenges and thrills on the way to the summit of the peak. Touching the summit of the peak is our only mission in this journey, leaving behind all the explorations and adventures on the trekking trail.
However, from the summit of the peak, you can capture magnificent views of high peaks like giant Nuptse (7,861m-25790ft ), Lhotse (8,516m-27939ft), Ama Dablam (6,812m-22349ft), and many snow-capped peaks in the Everest range. Considerably challenging paths and lots of explorative and adventurous deeds add more beauty to this journey. This is a brief description of our overall journey towards the summit of Pokalde Peak and returning to Kathmandu valley (1,400m-4593ft).
You can start the Pokalde Peak Climbing journey with a scenic flight to Lukla (2,860m-9383ft), as usual in most journeys in the Khumbu Region of Nepal. From Lukla, you can start your actual trek and follow the way passing through Phakding (2,610m-8562ft), Namche Bazaar (3,440m-11286ft), Everest View Hotel (3,880m-12729ft) (Hike and back to Namche Bazaar), Tengboche (3,860m-12664ft), Dingboche (4,410m-14468ft), Lobuche (4,950m-16240ft), Gorakshep (5,164m-16942ft), hike to Everest Base Camp (5,364m-17598ft) and Kala Pattar (5,550m-18208ft), and again back to Lobuche, Pokalde Base Camp (4,400m-14435ft) via Kongma La Pass (5,535m-18159ft), High Camp (5,000m-16404ft) and finally to the summit of the peak at 5,806m-19048ft).
