Peak Climbing
Overview
The large number of Himalayan Peaks on the vicinity of highest mountain of the world has always been a great attraction to the mountain climbers. Mera Peak (6344m/20815ft) stands to the south of Everest and dominates the watershed between the heavily wooded valleys of the Hinku and Hongu Drangkas. Mera is among the highest of Nepal’s official ‘trekking peaks’. It lies in the Khumbu Himalayan Range. This peak is located south of Everest in the Hinku valley and is relatively easier to climb than most other peaks. Besides the charm of climbing Mera Peak, the trek to base camp from Lukla is rewarding to experience rare un-spoilt regions of Nepal with densely forested hillsides.
With the unparalleled views and stunning panoramas, it makes this trekking peak one of the most sought after mountaineering trips in Nepal. Mera Peak is suitable for novice climbers as the difficulty is not in the climb itself, but in dealing with the effects of altitude. The panorama takes in Kanchenjunga, Chamlang and Makalu to the east, while to the north Everest, the unclimbed south face of Lhotse and the Nuptse/ Lhotse ridge are visible. To the west Ama Dablam and Cho Oyu, what is undoubtedly one of the most glorious views in the whole of Nepal.
This itinerary is designed best to those who have some kind of previous experiences in high altitudes over 5965m/19572ft and are habitual for walking 7-8 hours in a day which allow us to walk a very long distances with required amount of high altitudes acclimatizing. Also the itinerary goes though the nice mountain valley and various geographical elevations.
