An early morning mountain flight to Lukla (2,840m) with spectacular views of Gauri Shankar (7,135m), Melungtse (7,181m), and Numbur (6959m) takes us to our gateway to Everest Base Camp. We climb Mera Peak with an easy walk through the woodland above Lukla. The trail leads through pasture to the edge of a diminishing forest of rhododendrons and pines that cloaks the steep hillsides above Lukla. En route, we cross small streams and forests. Mostly, the walk is uphill. Chuthanga itself is in a big clearing and a few summer shelters.
The next day of our Mera Peak Climbing, we cross the Kalo Himal Ridge, which divides Khumbu and Hinku Valley towards Chetra La Ridge in a long day’s walk. Turning to the right, we drive down a steep track to Thuli Kharka, a big pasture.
Our expedition to Mera Peak climbing carries on, and we descend to the Hinku valley of Kothe, where the local lifestyle is observed. Then we go along the shady wood to Hinku Valley to Kothe.
The Mera Khala ridge is the one that we walk along Mera Khola and Hinku Khola, a standard leg of Mera Peak Nepal. After a long, smooth walk, arrive at Thangnag, a grazing ground in summer.
Climb from Thagnag up to Mera Base Camp at Khare. The lateral moraine of Dig Glacier reaches Dig Kharka, where we get a magnificent view of Charpate Himal. We take a rocky route through a high pasture to Khare (Mera Base Camp), and this gives us some experience of a high level of hiking.
Climb some distance to Mera La (5400 m) to experience ice climbing and walk back to Khare. Our climbing Sherpa offers you the mountaineering training course that you will need to climb Mera Peak successfully.
