The Lho La (Chinese: 洛拉山坳) is a col on the border between Nepal and Tibet north of the Western Cwm, near Mount Everest. Situated low on the West Ridge of the mountain at a height of 6,006 metres (19,705 ft), it is not exactly a pass but more of a saddle on the Mt. Everest massif. It has also been called Khumbu La.
