Highlights of the Trek |
|
This peak is officially the highest of
Nepal's permitted Trekking peaks. Rising
to the south of Sagamartha and
dominating the watershed between the
wild and heavily wooded valleys of the
Hinku and Hongu Drangkas, Mera is not
truly speaking part of the Khumbu Himal.
The Mera ascent is technically straight
forward however after a heavy fall of
snow or when the maze of crevasses are
open, the way can be long and demanding.
There is also of course the pleasure of
going above 21000ft.
Mera Peak is one the most popular of
Nepal's 18 "Trekking peaks". For the
trekker, the walk from Lukla Bazaar
through the Sherpa country of the remote
Inkhu Valley is an unforgettable memory
& experience, offering superb scenery
and abundant wildlife - including
rumored sightings of the legendary Yeti.
About 700 foreigner visitors climb the
6,654m. Mera Peak each year, an
achievement which requires
mountaineering skills and a special
permit from the Nepal Mountaineering
Association.
