Mera Peak is the highest trekking peak in Nepal, which
is climbable by people without mountaineering experience.
It is situated on the edge of the famous Khumbu region,
which is dominated by Mount Everest. Although very high,
Mera is a straightforward climb and is frequently ascended
by groups and individuals whose only climbing qualifications
are that they are fit and have an out-going sense of
adventure.

This
special expedition to Mera is designed for those who only
have three working weeks' holiday time available. The first
fourteen days take us south from the airstrip at Lukla, trekking
through beautiful forested hillsides and over several passes
before climbing up to the Mera La. After the climb, we descend
directly to Lukla via the Zatrwa La pass.
The Mera Expedition is
a high-altitude trek and climb and participants need to be
fit and conversant with the use of an ice-axe and crampons.
Instruction in the use of these will be given at our base
camp near the Mera La if required. In good conditions it is
possible for a fit party to reach the summit and return to
base camp in one day. It is normal, however, to establish
a high-camp at 19,000ft/5,800m on the Mera Glacier, in order
to shorten the summit day. This is a rewarding experience
as it provides glorious views of Nepal and a vista that takes
in Kangchenjunga and Makalu to the east and Everest appearing
over the massive southern aspect of Nuptse and Lhotse to the
north. To the west stand the spires of Ama Dablam and Kang
Taiga and in the distance is the mighty bastion of Cho Oyu.
This is a fine panorama of many of the world's highest peaks.
The climb itself takes
the north face glacier in a steady rise to the summit ridge
which leads, in an exposed and exciting situation, to the
top. After the mountain has been climbed, we return by a direct
route across a dramatic ridge to Lukla and the flight to Kathmandu.
