Mera Peak - Nepal
|
Mera peak (6654m) is the highest of Nepal's permitted
trekking peaks rises to the south of Everest and
dominates the watershed between the heavily wooded
valleys of the Hinku and Hongu Drangkas. The first
ascent on Mera was made in May 1953 and the route
taken then, has now become the standard route. There
are many routes to Mera peak, none of them easy.
Some of the route traverses through difficult
passes, and the arduous climb then becomes a true
mountaineering experience. The end however, is worth
all the effort, as Mera is definitely on of the
finest viewpoints in Nepal.
The panoramic view here takes in Chamlang,
Kanchanjunga, Makalu and Baruntse in the east and
the peak of Choyu, Amadablam and Kang Thega to the
west. To the north one can glimpse Everest over the
crumpled sedimentary rock bands that make up the
massive unclimbed south face of Lhotse and the Nuptse/Lhotse
ridge. Weather conditions permitting, it is possible
for a very experienced and able team to reach the
summit from the base camp and return to the same
day. It is also possible for very skilled skiers to
"ski" to the summit ridge, enjoy the breath-taking
views and return the same day. |
