"Mera Peak is a chance to venture into a little visited and as yet untouched region of Nepal where the hillsides are still densely forested and a need to be self-sufficient is essential. There is also, of course, the pleasure of going above 21,000 feet." - Bill O'Conner, The Trekking Peaks of Nepal.
Mera Peak is quickly becoming a classic Himalayan climb! It is, after all, the highest mountain in Nepal (6,476m, 22,476ft) accessible to people with no significant mountaineering experience.
We start this climb with a hair-raising flight into the small town of Phaflu. From there it is a six-day trek, with plenty of acclimatization days to keep us healthy at our ever-increasing altitude, through some of Nepal's most pristine Rhododendron, oak, silver fir and birch forests, past beautiful alpine lakes, and finally up to the foot of Mera Glacier where we'll establish base camp. We'll set up two more high camps, the first over 300 m above B.C. on the Mera Glacier, and the second after we cross the Mera crevasse field at 5,800 m. From here it is a steady climb to reach the summit, with awe-inspiring views of Kanchenjunga and Makalu to the east, Everest and Lhotse to the north, and Ama Dablam and Cho Oyu to the west.
