Nepal Peak Climbing

Nepal Climbing Information

Climbing in Nepal >> Khongma Tse (Mehra) Peak Climbing - (5849m)

Khongma Tse (5,849) meters, was formerly called Mehra Peak or simply Mehra. It rises to the north of Kongma La and stands above the Khumbu Glacier opposite of Lobuje. It is one of several summits, which make up the long south-west ridge of Nuptse. It is part of the south west ridge of Nuptse. A climb here gives splendid views of Nuptse and Pumori peaks. The route to the mountain follows the trail to Everest base camp before veering off into the Imja Valley. The climb goes up the southeast ridge and requires you to climb a glacier and scramble up broken rocks to gain the south ridge below the summit.

Seen from the lakes east of the Kongma La, a small, stepped glacier descends from the summit between long, rocky arms that make up the mountain's South and South-East Ridges. The margins of the glacier provide the normal route of ascent. Another highlight of this trek is the climb of Pokhalde Peak, which provides spectacular views of the peak. The views northwards towards Pumori and the Lho La are impressive as well.
