Everest Base Camp with Pogalden Peak

About Everest Base Camp with Pogalden Peak
Trip Overview

Pokaden Peak (or Dolma Ri) is a mountain peak of Nepal situated 12 km southwest of Mount Everest. Pokalde Peak is one of the shortest and easiest trekking peaks in the Everest Region. Pokalde Peak can be easily climbed in half a day by a fit and acclimatized group with appropriate leadership.

Pokalden is one of the easiest trekking peaks in Nepal, and can be easily combined with an acclimatizing Everest Base Camp trek. From Lobuche, Pokalden Peak rises impressively to the south of the Kongma La (5,535 meters), and the summit of the peak provides a great viewpoint for panoramic views of the Himalayan range.The base camp of Pokalde Peak is situated in a raised “amphitheater” style valley with a large circular lake in the middle below the Kongma La pass. About 40 minutes from the base camp is the Kongma glacier. This glacier offers ice walls suitable for ice climbing training by appropriately equipped and motivated groups. The glacier is said to be receding in size.
