Pokalde Peak (5806m)
Pokhalde (5806m/19049ft) was first climbed in 1953 from the Kongma- la. The peak itself is the seemingly in significant looking mountain when seen from Pheriche, however, it dose offer interesting scrambling on the well-defined ridge. The northern side of the mountain has a small hanging glacier. Pokhalde appears to be most of a rocky ridge dominated by the vastness of the Nuptse. Though not of any great magnitude. Pokhalde was first climbed by "giants in the mountaineering field".
