Mount Pokhalde, a Nepal Mountaineering Association climbing peak

  
Mt. Pokhalde is quite a complex mountain, although its basic situation is simple; its 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 Chukhung 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.
