|  The bulk of Mera, officially
the highest of Nepal’s permitted trekking peaks, ries to the south
of Everest and dominates the watershed between the wild and heavily
woded valleys of the Hinku and Hongu Drangkas . Mera (Peak) is
a chance to venture into a little visited and as yet unspoilt
region of Nepal where the hillsides are still densely forested
and a need to be self-sufficient is essential. There is also,
of course, the pleasure of going above 21,000 feet.” Both the
Hongu and Hinku valleys remain uninhabited although there are
Kharka in the Upper Hinku basin where Sherpa from the South, near
Pangkongma, graze their animals during the grass- growing monsoon.
The upper Hongu Basin is truly a mountain wilderness, a place
of massive moraines, glacial lakes and spectacular peaks that
include Charmlang and Baruntse.
 Additionally, it offers some
of the most spectacular mountain scenery, pristine forest, and
high altitude climbing in the world. We start this climb with
a hair-raising flight into the small town of Lukla at 2,800 m
(9,184 ft). From there it is a six-day trek, with plenty of acclimatization
days to keep us healthy at our ever-increasing altitude, through
some of Nepal’s most pristine Rhododendron, oak, silver fir and
birch forests, past beautiful alpine lakes, and finally up to
the foot of Mera Glacier where we’ll establish base camp. We’ll
set up two more high camps, the first over 300 m above B.C. on
the Mera Glacier, and the second after we cross the Mera crevasse
field at 5,800 m. From here it is a steady and steep climb to
reach the summit, with awe-inspiring views of Kanchenjunga and
Makalu to the east, Everest and Lhotse to the north, and Ama Dablam
and Cho Oyu to the west.
