Khongma Tse, standing above the Khumb Glacier opposite to Lobuche Village is one of the several small summits which include Pokhalde. It makes one of the longest south west ridges of Nuptse between Khumbu and Nuptse Glaciers. It was also called Mehra Peak in the past. The name was changed to Khongma Tse to avoid the confusion with Mera Peak, the peak with a diamond shaped glacier hanging with a steepy inclined rock wall in its North Face.
