The Pokhalde peak is sometimes also known as the Dolma Ri. The peak which has a height of 5,806m lies 12 km South West of Mount Everest. The summit of the peak therefore offers an unsurpassed view of Everest, the highest peak in the world. Makalu, Ama Dablam and Pumori are the other peaks that can be seen from the summit of Pokhalde.
Pokhalde is a popular and commercial ‘trekking peak’ as it does not require prior climbing experience to ascent to the top of this peak. However, proper acclimatization is essential to make it to the summit. We understand this and have devised our programme allowing enough time for acclimatization.

Nepal has four climatic seasons
* Spring : March-May
* Summer: June-August
* Autumn: September-November
* Winter: December-February.
There is no seasonal constraint on travelling in and through Nepal. Even in December and January, when the winter is at its severest, there are compensating bright sun and brilliant views. The monsoon season does affect the summer months, so be wary that trekking can be hazardous, although there are some regions that are actually best visited at this time – please see our list of treks for more information.
