Mera PEak climbing - 20 days |
 |
Mera peak is considered as
one of the major and popular trekking peaks in Nepal.
The Peak itself rises to the south of Everest with the
ascent, technically straightforward; however, the heavy
snow and the maze of crevasses make the way a bit longer
to the summit. Beside the charm of climbing Mera Peak
there is a unique reward of experiencing rarely visited
and un-spoilt region of densely forested hill side on
the trek to its base camp from Lukla. To reach the Base
Camp there are several different routes beside the
conventional one which is easy. The routes crossing
Amphu Labtsa (5,780m) and the Mingbo La (5,871m) provide
some of the most adventurous trekking experience with
spectacular sceneries through remote valleys and passes
filled with glaciers.
North Face Glacier from “Mera La”: The base camp is set
up at 5,300 meter near Mera La on the Hongu side in the
moraine below the ice. From here a high camp is set at
5,800 meters near a rocky outcrop on the Mera Glaciers.
The high camp displays one of the most glorious
viewpoints offering panoramic views 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 in
reach of a climber without much difficulty. The south
summit (6,065m) is the most accessible with the Northern
Summit (6,476m), the highest, which can be reached by
skirting the Central Summit (6,461m) to the north and
following snow ridge to its top. Climbing the middle
summit requires ascent up on steep snow and is more
technical. Mera North is straight-forward climb.
When to climb?
The typical eastern Himalayan climbing seasons apply:
April-May before the monsoon, or October-November after
it, more or less. However, some outfitters are seen
booking this trip during the Christmas holiday season,
but it may not be advisable as it could be excessively
cold and dark then! |
