| The Approach Trek |

This is the highest trekking peak in Nepal, standing at 6476m/21246 ft, and is situated in an uninhabited and unspoilt part of Nepal to the south-east of Everest. Whilst the summit of Mera is our ultimate goal, the outstanding feature of this trip is the trek through the Hinku valley which is one of the wildest and most beautiful in Nepal.
This will allow us to sample a true 'wilderness experience' en route to Mera.
We start the trek by flying to Lukla and from here proceed slowly to the east, crossing the Zatr La, and after nine days trekking we eventually reach the Mera La where we site our base camp.

From the Mera La it is possible to ascend to the summit in one day, but we will make use of a high camp to increase our chances of success. The steady climb to the north summit rewards our efforts with one of the finest viewpoints in Nepal, giving fantastic views of five 8000m peaks, Everest and Lhotse to the north, Kanchenjunga and Makalu to the east, and Cho Oyu to the west.
This trek is a fully equipped camping trek with accommodation in two person tents and food being cooked by our kitchen staff. Transport to and from the Everest region is by air.

'I had visited many remote parts of the world on my own, but used Sobek Nepal Treks for a trip to Mera Peak in 1997. I was impressed by their professionalism and their flexibility, which allowed me to manage my itinerary to suit my needs, and make a side trip to see the famous Mani Rimdu festival at Tengpoche monastery' Mike, UK
'I have made three trips with Sobek Nepal Treks - Mera Peak, Island Peak and a special trip to Tent Peak. Each time, Sobek Nepal Treks were very professional and helpful. I intend to return to Nepal again, and would always use Sobek Nepal Treks. Jan, Munich |
