This
is the highest trekking peak in Nepal, standing at 6,476
m. and is situated in an uninhabited and unspoilt part
of Nepal to the south-east of Everest. Whilst the summit
of Mera is our ultimate goal, the outstanding feature
of this trip is the trek through the Hinku valley which
is one of the wildest and most beautiful in Nepal. This
will allow us to sample a true 'wilderness experience'
en route to Mera.
We start the trek by flying to Lukla and from here proceed
slowly to the east, crossing the Zatrwa La, and after
nine days trekking we eventually reach the Mera La where
we site our base camp. From here it is possible to ascend
to the summit in one day, but we will make use of a high
camp to increase our chances of success. The steady climb
to the north summit rewards our efforts with one of the
finest viewpoints in Nepal, giving fantastic views of
five 8,000m peaks, Everest and Lhotse to the north, Kanchanjunga
and Makalu to the east, and Cho Oyu to the west.
This trek is a fully equipped camping trek with accommodation
in two person tents and food being cooked by our kitchen
staff. Transport to and from the Everest region is by
air.
