Mera Peak Expedition
This superb trek takes us away from the busy trails leading to Everest Base Camp, and over a little-used pass into the sparsely-inhabited Hinku Valley.
From here we walk through a beautiful high alpine environment, where Mera Peak, the highest trekking peak in Nepal at 6476m, towers over the valley.
Traversing around to the north we find a softer side to the mountain, and from here it is a non-technical climb which anyone with ice-axe and crampon experience can attempt. If you've acclimatised well, have strong lungs and plenty of willpower, you can reach the summit of this beautiful Himalayan peak.
A tough but rewarding expedition.
