MERA
PEAK 6654m. (Amphu Lapche &
Island Peak 6189m.)
Mera Peak is the highest permitted
trekking peak of Nepal. It stands
to the south of Everest and
dominates the watershed between
the heavily wooded valleys of
the Hinku and Hongu Drangkas.
J.O.M. Roberts and Sen Tenzing
made the first successful ascent
on 20 May 1953. The trek starts
from Kathmandu with a drive
to Jiri and a trek to Lukla
at 2800m. This is a good way
to begin as it helps develop
physical fitness and is excellent
for altitude acclimatization.
But most of the people take
a flight to Lukla and stay there
overnight. From Lukla to Chutanga
we walk through rhododendron
and pine forests. Crossing the
Zatra-La pass the trek is very
steep but the reward is a view
of Cho Oyu, the world’s
6th highest mountain and the
Numbur Himal.
We now descend into the Mera
Valley. From Chatrabu, after
a walk of about around one and
half hours we get the best view
of Mera’s South, Central
and North peaks. Then we go
through more forests, of rhododendron,
bamboo and pine to reach Kothe
(Hinku khola) from where the
trekking is easier to Khare
Base Camp, at 5000m. From Khare
to Mera-La it is steep, but
from Mera–La to our high
camp at 5800m is easier, though
we must take care as there are
many deep crevasses. We will
follow the ‘standard’
route to the summit, reaching
the Central peak and, perhaps,
the slightly higher North summit.
There are many other routes
to the peak, but none of them
are easy, some requiring the
crossing of high and difficult
passes (though, of course, this
adds to the true mountaineering
experience). But in the end
all the effort and hard work
pays off as Mera provides one
of the finest viewpoints in
Nepal, with a panoramic view
of Chamlang, Kangchenjunga,
Makalu and Baruntse to the east,
and Cho Oyu, Ama Dablam and
Kangtega to the west. Everest
is seen to the north over the
massive unclimbed south face
of Lhotse and the Nuptse/Lhotse
ridge. Under favourable conditions,
it is possible to climb the
peak and to descend to Base
Camp on the same day.
