Pokhalde Peak poses few difficulties and it is often used as a warm-up for other Himalayan Peaks. It is one of the so-called ‘trekking peaks’ of Nepal and it does not require a huge amount of mountaineering skill.
Pokhalde Peak poses few difficulties, and it is often used as a warm-up for other Himalayan Peaks. It is one of the so-called ‘trekking peaks’ of Nepal and it does not require a huge amount of mountaineering skill.
The term trekking peak is, however, a little misleading for some of these peaks which should be approached seriously. Most people climb the north ridge from the Kongma La. It is also possible to climb the South ridge (see route section.)
Upon arrival at Kathmandu Airport (TIA), you will be greeted by a representative of the Himalayan Glacier Trekking. After completing customs clearance (such as a visa), pick up your luggage and find our representative on the Unique Path at the arrival gate.
Then move to hotel. After check-in, you will need to go to the office to prepare for your trip and meet the crew. In the evening, we will have a “welcome dinner” at a wonderful traditional Nepali restaurant. Here you can enjoy a Nepali cultural program and delicious food.
On day two of Pokhalde Peak Climbing. Early in the morning after breakfast, we will move to the domestic airport and head for Lukla. After a 40-minute flight through the breathtaking green and white mountains, you’ll arrive at Lukla’s Tenzing-Hillary Airport.
It is one of the most beautiful flight routes in the world, providing dramatic landings on slopes surrounded by towering peaks. Meet other crew members at the airport.
There is time to take a walk while the guide manages the porter’s luggage separately. Start trekking through the thriving village of Lukla until you reach Phakding. For adaptation, I only have a short hike today. However, if you are interested in additional activities, detour to a nearby monastery.
Trekking begins in the morning after breakfast. Today’s trek is comfortable with several short ascents and descents with some crossroads of the Dudh Kosi River and spectacular views of Mt. Thamserku (6,608 m / 21,675 ft) from Benkar Village. Cross several more bridges to reach the entrance to Sagarmatha National Park in Monjo.
Trekking permits are confirmed here and records of trekkers and local trekking staff are kept. A slow downhill walk will bring you to Giorsale, the last village in front of Namche Bazaar. The riverbed walk is comfortable and you will arrive at the Hillary Suspension Bridge. Climb uphill towards Namche Bazaar and stop here at Chautara for spectacular views near Kwande Peak, its sister Peak, Kusumkangar, Mount Everest, Lhotse, Tawache, and many other wonderful mountains. Finally, you will arrive at the colorful village of Namche Bazaar, the main gate of the Khumbu region.
After having breakfast in Namche, start your trek to Tengboche, enjoying spectacular views of Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam and a close-up view of Thamserku. Our trekking follows a gentle, low-lying path overlooking the magnificent views of the magnificent Himalayas. Along the way, you’ll find wildlife such as pheasants, musk deers, and herds of Hemitragus. The trail gradually descends to Kayanjuma. The trail eventually reaches Shasa, the main intersection between the Gokyo Valley and Everest Base Camp. The trail passes through a pine forest, crosses a bridge over the Dudh Koshi River decorated with prayer flags, and then arrives at Punki Tenga, a small teahouse surrounded by alpine forests and a small settlement with a small army. After a relaxing lunch at Phunki Thenga, it’s a little difficult to climb the pine forest suddenly before arriving at Tengboche. Tengboche is a great place to get a close-up of Ama Dablam, Nuptse, and Everest, with the largest Buddhist monastery in the entire Khumbu region. We will visit the monastery around 3 pm on the same day. Witness a ceremony at the most important and popular monastery in the Everest region.
The monastery of Tengboche with the mountains in the background looks more spectacular in the morning. Take pictures of the monastery and its surroundings and start your day tour as usual. Choose the upper trail for a better view to visit the village of Pangboche and its ancient monasteries. Pass by some Chortens and Mani walls and a small village. Enjoy lunch with a wonderful close-up view of Ama Dablam. Drive north to Felice in the afternoon or follow the eastern trail beneath the towering north face of Ama Dablam. From here, enter the Imja Valley, trekking is fairly calm. As you approach the confluence of the Lobuche River, the valley ahead opens. Descend into the river and start the last steep uphill of the day to the stone wall of Dingboche, collecting barley, buckwheat, and potatoes to protect. From cold winds and grazing animals.
This section of summit climbing reaches the base camp of Pokhalde Peak. On the way to the base camp, it takes about 4-5 hours to reach the base camp in Pokhalde Peak on a steep uphill trail. Hiking today is short, but useful for acclimatization purposes. When you arrive at the base camp, you will be introduced to your ice climbing skills. The Pokalde Peak base camp is located near a large circular lake in the middle under the Konmara Pass. The Summit Base Camp also offers fascinating views of Makalu Mountain, Ama Dablam, the south side of Nuptse and many other notable mountains in the Everest region.
Today, the trail takes us first to the Kongma La Pass, from which you can enjoy views of the wide basin with frozen lakes. The magnificent view of Pokalde Peak from the high pass is inevitable. Upcoming mountaineering trails will also offer breathtaking views of Cholatse, Nuptse, Lhotse, Makalu, Ama Dablam, and several other mountains in the Khumbu region. Today’s trail ends at the high camp of Pokhalde Peak, enjoying the fascinating views of the highest mountains in the Everest region.
Today, We trek from High Camp to Pokhalde Peak. Similarly, this will be an interesting journey. This may be the climax of the entire ride withinside the Everest region. Hence today, we can awaken early withinside the morning and flow forth toward our destination. This phase of the ride is traumatic because the ride follows the marginally tough hiking path via stones. The hiking path in the long run reaches the slender rocky summit, Pokhalde Peak. Upon conquering the apex of Pokhalde Peak, we can take a look at the maximum breathtaking and panoramic perspectives of the world`s maximum mountains which encompass the perspectives of Mt Makalu, Ama Dablam, Pumori, and some of different tallest peaks withinside the Khumbu region. After celebrating the charming vistas from the pinnacle of the peak, we retrace passing via Kongma La Pass to the bottom camp. The subsequent phase of the path from the bottom camp brings us to Dingboche.
On day 9 of our journey, we will use the same trail that we used while ascending from Tengboche to Dingboche.
On day 10 of our journey, we will use the same trail that we used while ascending from Namche Bazzar to Tengboche.
Today, The path descends steeply downward so we want to stroll slowly and beneath neath manage as our shaky legs constantly warfare the rocky terrain. After crossing the suspension bridges over the quick flowing Dudh Koshi and its tributaries the path turns into an extra degree and natural. Nowadays we begin to get warmed up with the aid of using the mild breeze. Any closing sore throats and colds can be long gone with the aid of using nowadays as we skip thru this fascinating mountain air. Although we’re journeying the identical course down, we sense one-of-a-kind views. We snap a combination of open plains, rhododendron, and pine forests, and withinside the distance snow-blanketed peaks. We stroll thru the Sherpa villages noticing extraordinary religion in Buddhism and the way of life of prayer stones and prayers flag whilst we stroll thru the villages. Upon arrival in Lukla, we stretch the sore legs and bear in mind the reviews of an ultimate couple of weeks. We enjoy the result of an excellent trek on a satisfied notice with all of us lower back secure and sound with smiles on our faces.
Today, we fly back to Kathmandu after our long mountain journey. The early morning flight drops us in Kathmandu. We can relax and loosen up for the day at the hotel. If we get involved to take a few presents domestic from Nepal for pals and relatives, we will go to a few close by stores or task out in Thamel for normal Nepalese goods. This quick tour both may be assisted with the aid of using Himalayan Glacier`s courses or we will do it ourselves too.
Finally, the trip ends with a farewell party and Departure from Kathmandu. Similarly, today our trip departure representative will leave you at the Tribhuwan International Airport for your final departure.
The mountain lies to the east of the Khumbu Valley which leads all the way up to Everest base camp. Pokalde is around two or three miles from Everest but the Lhotse ridge obscures the view of the highest point on Earth from the summit.
From the hamlet of Lobuche, which consists of only a handful of trekking lodges, Pokhalde Peak does look impressive as a high point on the ridge across the valley. It sits above the Kongma La (pass) and in comparison to the busy paths leading to Everest, the route is infrequently traveled. The mountain is, of course, dwarfed by its impressive neighbors but it is a worthwhile side trip from a trek.
Pokhalde Peak is beautiful and is one of the shortest trekking peaks in the Everest region. This trekking peak is southwest of Everest. With little or no advanced climbing skills, the Pocarde Peak Climbing Tour will be one of the easiest climbing in the Everest region.
This 5,806-meter peak is mostly rocky and does not require crampons or ice axes to climb. It is considered one of the easiest peaks to climb, but it is a very exposed peak at this altitude, so there is a considerable risk of bad weather.
The peak is close to the Kongma La and Kongma glacier, surrounded by Makalu, Ama Dablam, Pumori, and several other mountains. This peak is one of the most popular trekking peaks in the region because it is not technical and offers a fascinating view of the Himalayas from above. Before climbing to the summit, the journey will take you to the legendary Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar for stunning views of the summit, including Mount Everest. This trip fulfills all adventurers’ dreams of climbing the top of the Himalayas.
The Pokhalde Peak Climbing is a very exciting journey. Everyone should do the Pokhade Peak Climbing when they are in Nepal. Enter the awe-inspiring magical Imja Khola Valley and cross the Everest High Pass called Kongma La (5,520m). The camp is just below this pass, easily accessible and you can climb the 5,806-meter high Pocarde. Scrambling to the Rocky Mountains and climbing is relatively easy, and I regret enjoying the breathtaking views of Everest, Makalu, Cho Oyu, Pumori Lhotse, and Nuptse.
This peak can be combined with other peaks such as Island Peak, KhongmaTse, and Lobuche East. The itinerary may cross the Chola Pass and enter the Gokyo Valley. The view from the top of Pokalde Peak is spectacular, especially on the huge south side of Nuptse. With a series of Himalayan experiences, the Pokalde Peak mountaineering trip ends at Lukla Runway, which passes through the traditional commercial center of Namche Bazaar.
The trip embarks from Kathmandu and then fly to Lukla. Similarly, from Lukla trek to Phakding and Namche Bazaar. Then, rest in Namche Bazaar and from there to Tengboche. After Tengboche to Pheriche and Pheriche to Lobuche. Then, after the trek to Kala Pathar (5545m) and back to Gorak Shep.
After that excursion to Everest Base Camp and trek back to Lobuche. Then Lobuche to Dingboche. Similarly, from Dingboche to Chhukung. Likewise, from Chhukung to Pokalde. Then climb the peak and back to Chhukung.
From Chhukung to Dingboche and Dingboche to Tengboche. Then, trek to Namche Bazaar to Pakding. And, Phakding to Lukla. Then fly back to Kathmandu for the final departure.

Temperatures during this period in the Nepali mountains remain relatively warm 10° to 15°, much warmer than the one you experience during the winter. The most important thing about this season is that mornings mostly remain bright and clear. The afternoons remain mostly filled with warm air. The rhododendron forests in springtime create a spectacular scenes. You can experience the wild and natural “Himalayan” beauty. Needless to say, June is much warmer and greener.
Another best season for trekking in the Nepal is from September to the half of December. This is often regarded as the ideal time for the panoramic view of mountains. Days during these months typically remain sunny and clear. Moderate temperatures and comparatively cool evenings make the experience of trekking in this part of the world quite unique.

Making trekking around Mustang, Rara, Dolpo, Annapurna circuit, Lantang Valley, Jomsom Trek, Everest base camp, and Gokyo valley during this season enables you to explore nature in their unique blend.
As long as you are in good physical shape, you do not require any hiking experience for this trek. Good fitness level, proper training plan, and acclimation make the trek much easier.
Proper training like 3-5 days of week (hiking, brisk walking, jogging, cycling, swimming) are essential for an enjoyable and successful trek in Nepal. Generally, you need to walk 6 to 7 hours each day while trekking in Everest.
Respecting local customs and traditions enhances your experience and fosters positive interactions with the community. Here are some aspects to keep in mind:
The traditional greeting in the Everest region is “Namaste.” Use it when meeting locals or fellow trekkers.
Dress Modestly: Dress modestly, especially when visiting monasteries or religious sites.

You may bring power bars, Gu, Power Gel, cereal bars or similar high energy foods, powder Gatorade is also recommended to fight dehydration.
Many people are concerned about altitude sickness. This problem, often known as Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) is a particularly important medical consideration while trekking in Nepal and Tibet. Altitude illness rarely occurs lower than 2800 meters (9520ft) and only minor symptoms occur below 3000 meters (9,800ft). AMS occurs when the body does not adapt well to less oxygen at higher altitudes. At 18,000 ft (5490m), there is one half the oxygen available as at sea level; on top of Mount Everest, only one third. The body tries to adapt to less oxygen by increasing the rate and depth of breathing, as well as the heart rate. Individual susceptibility to altitude sickness seems to be genetically determined.
What happens to the body during altitude illness? Fluids accumulate in between the cells in the brain and/or the lungs, creating mild or severe symptoms. Mild symptoms include headache, loss of appetite, nausea, fatigue, lack of sleep and dizziness. These symptoms usually resolve by spending one or two extra nights at the same altitude. If symptoms worsens descent to lower altitudes is warranted..
If you are resting at the same altitude and your symptoms are becoming worse, then it is also necessary to descend.
More serious symptoms of AMS include increased tiredness, severe headache, vomiting,, loss of coordination, shortness of breath, cough. These extremely dangerous symptoms are called High Altitude Cerebral Edema (or HACE). They can lead to unconsciousness and death within 12 hours.
Increasing shortness of breath, cough and tiredness may also be signs of High Altitude Pulmonary Edema or HAPE. HAPE can also be rapidly fatal if ignored.
Respiratory depression (the slowing down of breathing) can be caused by various medications, and may be a problem at altitude. The following substances can do this and should never be used by someone who has symptoms of altitude illness:
To prevent AMS and respiratory depression, drink at least three liters of liquids a day and avoid getting cold. Altitude sickness can to a certain extent be prevented by acetazolamide (Diamox SR), 750mg per day. Some experts suggest a two-day trial before the trip. Please seek the advice of your personal physician. Please note that taking Diamox SR does not mean that you can ignore advice about proper acclimatization.
To recap, serious symptoms of altitude sickness include:
In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with descent to the lowest possible height.
Prevention of Altitude Illness:
AMS are headache, loss of appetite, nausea, fatigue, lack of sleep and dizziness. These symptoms can resolve once someone is acclimatized e.g. by spending one or two extra nights at the same altitude or symptoms may worsen needing someone to descend to lower altitudes.
-Alcohol
-Sleeping pills (acetazolamide is the sleeping tablet of choice at altitude)
-Narcotic pain medications in more than modest doses
