Trip Introduction

One of the most well-known and sought-after climbing peaks in Nepal is Pokalde Peak, also known as Dolma RI Peak. Pokalde Peak, a trekking peak with an elevation of 5806 meters, is located in the Everest region. Pokhalde is ideal for beginning mountain climbers because one can reach the summit with only ropes and no other equipment. It is advised to avoid attempting the climb in poor weather because its exposed terrains may be highly deceiving, even though the only difficulties one may meet are sections of its loose rocks. You should choose this peak so that you can gain adequate climbing experience for all of your upcoming ascents.
