Mera Peak |
The bulk of Mera, officially
the highest of Nepal’s permitted trekking peaks,
ries to the south of Everest and dominates the
watershed between the wild and heavily woded
valleys of the Hinku and Hongu Drangkas . Mera
(Peak) is a chance to venture into a little
visited and as yet unspoilt region of Nepal
where the hillsides are still densely forested
and a need to be self-sufficient is essential.
There is also, of course, the pleasure of going
above 21,000 feet.” Both the Hongu and Hinku
valleys remain uninhabited although there are
Kharka in the Upper Hinku basin where Sherpa
from the South, near Pangkongma, graze their
animals during the grass- growing monsoon. The
upper Hongu Basin is truly a mountain
wilderness, a place of massive moraines, glacial
lakes and spectacular peaks that include
Charmlang and Baruntse.
Additionally, it offers some of the most
spectacular mountain scenery, pristine forest,
and high altitude climbing in the world. We
start this climb with a hair-raising flight into
the small town of Lukla at 2,800 m (9,184 ft).
From there it is a six-day trek, with plenty of
acclimatization days to keep us healthy at our
ever-increasing altitude, through some of
Nepal’s most pristine Rhododendron, oak, silver
fir and birch forests, past beautiful alpine
lakes, and finally up to the foot of Mera
Glacier where we’ll establish base camp. We’ll
set up two more high camps, the first over 300 m
above B.C. on the Mera Glacier, and the second
after we cross the Mera crevasse field at 5,800
m. From here it is a steady and steep climb to
reach the summit, with awe-inspiring views of
Kanchenjunga and Makalu to the east, Everest and
Lhotse to the north, and Ama Dablam and Cho Oyu
to the west. |
