Mera peak climbing
Mera Peak, at the awesome height of 6476m, is Nepal's highest trekking peak and boasts an absolutely stunning summit panorama that includes five of the world's 8000m peaks: Kangchenjunga, Makalu, Lhotse, Everest and Cho Oyu.
It is one of the most popular trekking peaks in Nepal. The Peak itself rises to the south of Everest in the Hinku (Hongu) Valley (seen at left). The ascent of the peak is technically straightforward, however, the heavy snow and the maze of crevasses can make the way to the summit a puzzle. Besides the thrill of climbing Mera Peak, the trek to base camp from Lukla is rewarding in itself for experiencing this little-visited and as yet unspoiled region of Nepal with densely forested hillsides. There are several approaches to the base camp besides the easy and normal route which is mentioned below. The routes crossing Amphu Labtsa (5,780m) and the Mingbo La (5,871m) provide some the most adventurous trekking with spectacular scenery through remote glaciated valleys and passes.
North Face Glacier Route from the Mera La.
The Base Camp can be set up at 5,300m near Mera La on the Hongu side in the moraine below the ice. From here a High Camp (HC) is set at 5,800m near a rocky outcrop on the Mera Glacier. The high camp boasts one of the most stunning vantage points in all of Nepal, offering a panoramic view of Kanchanjunga, Chamlang, Makalu and Baruntse sweeping around from the east and Amadablam, Cho Oyu and Kangtega to the west. The giant faces of Everest, Lhotse and Nuptse appear in the north. There are three main summits which are climbable without much difficulty. The south summit (6,065m) is the most accessible. The Northern Summit (6,476m) is the highest, which can be reached by skirting the Central Summit (6,461m) to the north and following the snow ridge to its top. Climbing the middle summit requires an ascent on steep snow and is more technical. Mera North is the most straight-forward climb.
