Mera Peak Climbing
19 Days
Description
Mera peak climbing is one of the major and popular trekking peaks in Nepal. The Peak itself rises to the south of Everest. The ascent to this peak is technically straightforward. However, the heavy snow and the web of crevasses can make the way longer to the summit. Besides the charm of Mera Peak, the trek to its base camp from Lukla is rewarding for experiencing less-frequented area by tourist and as yet unspoiled region of Nepal with densely forested hills. There are several approaches to Mera Peak base camp besides the easy and normal route. The route crossing Amphu Labtsa (5,780m) and the Mingbo La (5,871m) provides the most demanding trekking with spectacular scenery through remote glaciated valleys and high passes.
