The Himalayan Deep Dive
Mera Peak offers a distinctly different experience from the busier Everest Base Camp trail. After flying to Lukla, the journey heads towards the quieter landscapes of the Hinku Valley.
The approach passes through forest, high mountain terrain and isolated settlements before reaching Thangnak and eventually Khare, where the main preparation for the climbing section takes place.
Acclimatization and practical training are included before the team moves higher towards High Camp. From there, the objective is an attempt on the 6,476-metre summit of Mera Peak.
Because of this considerable altitude, Mera Peak requires good physical preparation, careful acclimatization, appropriate equipment and a conservative approach to summit day.
