Cholatse is a mountain in the Khumbu region of the Nepalese Himalayas. It has an elevation of 6,440 m (21,130 ft) above sea level. Cholatse is connected to the slightly higher Taboche by a long ridge. The Chola glacier descends off the east face. A lake is located to the east, which gave the mountain its name - in Tibetan cho means lake, la is pass, and tse is peak, hence Cholatse means "lake pass peak". Cholatse was first climbed via the southwest ridge in 1982. The north and east faces of Cholatse can be seen from Dughla, on the trail to Mount Everest base camp. This view of Cholatse was taken from the east close to Dughla, with a small section of the lake visible in the foreground.
