Pokalde Peak (5806m.)
Pokhalde looks like a crenulated rocky ridge dominated by the vast bulk of Nuptse. The mountain has a small hanging glacier, which is best reached along the ridge rising from the Kongma La, on its northern side. Although the summit is comparatively smaller than the rest, it provides a good viewpoint.
