trip Overview

Nepal Mountaineering Association categorizes Pokalde (5806m) as a group B Climbing Peak. But, you can walk up to the top of Pokalde with just the assistance of ropes near the top. There is no requirement of gear like crampons and ice axes. Once you reach its base camp, you need to go up for only about 650 meters. And the only challenges you encounter are the sections of loose rocks. But, with some mountaineering experience do not even require the assistance of ropes for climbers. However, its exposed terrains mean that you should not try climbing it in bad weather.

It stands in the Khumbu region some 12 kilometers southwestern direction from Mount Everest.  Pokalde, also called Dolma Ri, provides an extraordinary mountain spectacle from the summit. Mt Makalu, Ama Dablam, and Pumori rise in the prominent view from the summit, along with a vast mountain vista of the Khumbu region to be had from its top. Besides, you can include all the central attractions of Everest Treks as you go up to climb the peak and return after its ascent.

First ascended in 1953, Pokalde Ascent fulfills your amateur mountaineering desires. It takes you above the normal experience of mountain treks. Also, below the technically equipped, skill-and-effort demanding climbing expeditions. The base camp for the peak is at the valley below the Kongma La Pass (5,535m). It has a turquoise glacial lake in the middle. For the final ascent, you can reach the pass and follow the ridge (the route of the first ascent). Or you can move to the opposite side of the mountain facing Mt Makalu and proceed towards the top.

The following itinerary consists of many side trips and detours. It combines all the fabulous locations and vantage points of the Everest region in a single route. If you have enough time, follow this to make the best of your vacation, as you will traverse the entire Everest Base Camp trekking trail with Kalapatthar. Gokyo, a climb of Gokyo Peak, as well as Chola Pass. Together they make up a trail with dazzling adventure, with icing on the cake provided by Pokalde Climb. If you are short of time and energy to have all of it, we will customize the itinerary as per your needs.
