Pokalde Peak (5,806 m) also known as Dolma Ri in the southwest of Mt. Everest is the easiest and shortest peak in Everest Region. This peak was first submitted in 1953 via Kongma La along its north ridge and from the top, has the impressive views of Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, Makalu, Amadablam, Pumori and other mountains of Khumbu Region.
During Pokalde Peak Climbing, we begin our journey with adventures flight to Lukla and continue the trail to Everest Base Camp till Lobuche. Since Everest Base Camp and Kalapatthar are just a day away from Lobuche, we visit the base camp of the highest mountain and hike to Kalapatthar which gives us the jaw dropping view of Mt. Everest along with its neighbors; Nuptse, Lhotse and others. Then we return to Dingboche and trek to Pokalde Base Camp just below Kongma La Pass. We stay at Pokalde High Camp before summiting the Pokalde peak. After the summit, we descend to Chukung Valley and retrace back to Lukla.
Pokalde Peak can be climbed with the help of just ropes without using any technical equipment however; it is challenging in the section of loose rocks and not advisable for attempt in bad weather for its exposed terrains.
