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.)
