A closer look at the journey.
Khongma Tse, also called Mehra Peak, stands in the high country above the Khumbu Glacier. This programme first approaches and attempts Pokalde before moving to a separate camp for Khongma Tse. The two objectives share a Khumbu trek but involve different mountain terrain, making careful route assessment and an agreed climbing plan important.
The programme combines an approach trek with time for climbing preparation and a summit attempt. Snow, glacier conditions and weather can change the route and daily plan. Tell us about your mountain experience before booking so that we can agree the equipment, guiding and preparation needed for this particular climb.
- Two Khumbu summit objectives
- Dedicated Pokalde and Khongma Tse camps
- Imja valley return through Chhukung
