Mera Peak
Fixed Departure - Nepal
|
Mera
peak (6654m) is the highest of Nepal's permitted
trekking peaks rises to the south of Everest and
dominates the watershed between the heavily wooded
valleys of the Hinku and Hongu Drangkas. The first
ascent on Mera was made in May 1953 and the route taken
then, has now become the standard route. There are many
routes to Mera peak, none of them easy. Some of the
route traverses through difficult passes, and the
arduous climb then becomes a true mountaineering
experience. The end however, is worth all the effort, as
Mera is definitely on of the finest viewpoints in Nepal.
The panoramic view here takes in Chamlang, Kanchanjunga,
Makalu and Baruntse in the east and the peak of Choyu,
Amadablam and Kang Thega to the west. To the north one
can glimpse Everest over the crumpled sedimentary rock
bands that make up the massive unclimbed south face of
Lhotse and the Nuptse/Lhotse ridge. Weather conditions
permitting, it is possible for a very experienced and
able team to reach the summit from the base camp and
return to the same day. It is also possible for very
skilled skiers to "ski" to the summit ridge, enjoy the
breath-taking views and return the same day.
