Mera
Peak Climbing-6654m
Mera Peak is
highest trekking peak in Nepal,
It
is considered one of the major and popular
trekking peaks in Nepal. The Peak itself
rises to the south of Everest. The ascent
of the peak is technically
straightforward, however, the heavy snow
and the maze of crevasses can make the way
longer to the summit. Besides the charm of
climbing Mera Peak, the trek to its base
camp from Lukla is rewarding for
experiencing little-visited and as yet
unspoilt region of Nepal with densely
forested hill sides. 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 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 is
set at 5,800m near a rocky outcrop on the
Mera Glacier. The high camp proves to be
one to the most glorious viewpoints in
Nepal offering the 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 climbable
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 to climb.
