is quite a complex mountain, although its basic situation
is simple; it's a section of the long tapering SW Ridge
of Nuptse South of Kongma Tse with the Kongma La dividing
the two. This pass is used as a yak route between grazing
at Chhukung and the Khumbu. Although below 6000m and
20000ft the view is reward enough for a few hours scrambling.
The lake below the Kongma La is a good spot for BC.
From here the route is up a steep but straightforward
trail. The last 50 meters to the top is rather steep
so may need a rope Adventure begins with a brief flight
to Lukla, and next day taking an easy walk to a bustling
Namche Bazaar. Before our explorations of the high valleys
of Khumbu…. This unique itinerary takes us into
high and deep valleys, providing magnificent view of
the breathtaking sky soaring peaks. All the way we get
wonderful opportunity for having the close views of
the famous and interesting mountain peaks including-Gokyo
Ri (5,496 m.), Kala Pattar (5,634 m.), Pokhalde (5,806
m.), Island Peak (6,199 m.), Cho-Oyu (8,201 m.), Lhotse
(8,516 m.), Makalu (8,463 m.) and the Mt. Everest (8,848

time have passed this way.
You enter the awesome
Valley - the magical Imja Khola Valley crossing a high
Pass called the Kongma La (5,520 m.). You will be camping
just below this Pass for easy access and to enable you
to climb the 5,806 meter high Pokalde. The climb is
relatively easy with a scramble to the rocky summit
