Mera Peak is one of the highest trekking peaks in Nepal, from the summit you are rewarded with some of the best views in the entire Solu Khumbu region. Rising to the south of Everest, the peak was first scaled on the 20th May 1953 by J.O.M. Roberts and Sen Tenjing. The ascent of Mera is generally technically straightforward requiring little more than crampons and an ice axe (ropes are fixed where necessary.) Your journey begins with a mountain flight from Katmandu to the mountain airstrip of Lukla, heading southeast from Lukla the route follows high rocky ridges through dense forests and across several streams before reaching a pass that enters the remote and largely uninhabited Honku Valley. Trekking in this wild land of Himalayan pine forests is a special experience. A rest day is taken at Tangnag for exploration and acclimatisation where you have time to explore the huge moraine and the beautiful glacial lake north of the village.The next day we trek on to Khare (5,099m) and set up Base Camp. The ascent follows the glacier that leads to Mera la (5,415m) and then on to a high camp to prepare for an early summit the following day. From high camp there are some sweeping views of Kanchanjangha, Chamlang and Makalu to the east, Everest and Lhotse to the north and Amadablam and Cho-Oyu to the west. This view is undoubtedly one of the most stunning in all of Nepal. With good conditions the summit of Mera is made early in the morning, before returning to base camp the same day.The route back down the valley and on to Lukla follows the route in. From Lukla a flight is taken back to Kathmandu.This is an ideal trekking peak for people with less climbing experience although you need to be fit.
The three passes trek is made for adventure seekers this is a fantatic trek that takes you over the famous three passes of the Everest Region, the Renjo La pass, the Cho La pass and the Kongma La pass. The mountain views are unparalled in a region of true alpine beauty. Some people say without doubt it is the grandest mountain scenery in the world.The highlights of the trek include the Sherpa village of Khumjung, the pristine clear and blue Gokyo Lake and of course the breathtaking panoramic scenery from all the passes, there is even time for a visit to Everest Base Camp.Unlike other treks in the Everest region, this trek makes a loop so there is no tracing back on yourself. Another advantage is despite having to cross three passes; you do not require any technical climbing ability. If you have a good level of fitness and perhaps previous trekking experience you are more than likely to succeed.
This trek not only takes you to the foot of Mount Everest but also provides the challenge of climbing one of the peaks in the region. Imsa Tse peak is popularly known by the name of Island peak. It was named "Island" in 1953 by Eric Shipton as the peak resembles an island in a sea of ice when viewed from Dingboche. Later in 1983 the peak was renamed as Imsa Tse.Nepalese Mountain Dreams and Journeys
