Mera Peak Climbing 19 Days (6467m.)

Mera Peak is the highest trekking peaks in Nepal . When this is combined with the fact that it offers unparalleled views and stunning panoramas. it makes this trekking peak one of the most sought after mountaineering trips in Nepal . Mera Peak is never particularly technically difficult, but there is the altitude to contend with which makes this an exciting and challenging trip. We fly to Lukla and trek in to the Hinku Valley over the Zatrwa La. After careful acclimatization and some instruction to ensure that we will be safe on the mountain we set up the Base Camp at the Mera La. From here we can make our summit bid and enjoy the views of the Khumbu Himal to our north.Then we head north towards of the Mingmo- La Pass, which gives us access to the Khumbu valley beyond. It also means that we do not have to retrace our steps, giving us a circular journey and chance to explore different regions during the trip.

There are spare days allocated in the itinerary for acclimatization and in case of bad weather. The Base Camp is in a stunning setting but the views from the summit are perhaps unrivalled than from any of the other trekking peaks. The panorama takes in Kanchenjunga, Chamlang and Makalu to the east, while to the north Everest, the unclimbed south face of Lhotse and Nuptse&Lhotse ridge are visible. To the west Ama Dablam and Cho Oyu completely what is undoubtedly one of the most glorious views in the whole of Nepal . We take the opportunity, during the trek in, to make sure that every one is well acquainted with the technical equipment that we will be using on the mountain and to brush up on personal skills.
