MERA PEAK (6654m) |
|
Mera peak
(6654m/21831ft NMA official height)
officially 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
unclimed 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.
