Pokalde peak is one of the easy trekking
peaks for climbing which can be combined
with Everest base camp trek. It is a
chance of an extra adventure fit trekkers
after the rewards of reaching Kala Pattar
& the base camp. The peak can be
approached from either Bibre or Dughla.
These two routes provide several ways
to approach the peak: North Ridge, North
– East Face, North – West
Face, South Face etc. For Bibre route,
we will follow Everest trekking trail
up to Tsuro Og and trek to Yarsa. Base
camp will be set up near the lakes beneath
the Kongma La. We climb to a rugged
pass and follow beautiful snow ridge
and cross rocky pinnacles. We continue
following the ridge to a little more
difficult climb through stones and finally
to the narrow rocky summit. The North
– East Face of the mountain from
east of Kongma La could be the easiest
way to get to the summit. We climb up
through broken rocks and snow to the
summit ridge and then to the summit.
