Hey Allemaal, We zijn reeds met 3 voor Mera Peak te beklimmen. Heeft er iemand interesse om mee te komen. Mera Peak is de hoogste Trekking Peak van Nepal. D.w.z. geen technische voorkennis vereist. Kostprijs 1000 Euro, zonder vlucht. Hoop op enkele reacties … Zie hier beneden ons reisschema… Mera Peak (6476 m) Day 1 Arrival in Kathmandu. Transfer to hotel. Day 2 Free day in Kathmandu. Equipment check and trek preparation. 20 april Day 3 Kathmandu – Lukla(2800m) Poyang(2835m): Fly to Lukla, meet trek crew and sort out equipment. We follow down path on the south side of the airstrip and descend steeply for half an hour before meeting the main trade route coming up from the south to the Khumbu. Continue descent to Surke before climbing up to the Chhutok La. Some more up and down before arriving at a good campsite at Poyang. Day 4 Poyang - Pangkongma(2957m): After crossing the Poyang Khola turn off the main route onto the old trade route climbing up to the ridge line over looking the Khare Khola. Reach to Kharte for lunch. After lunch, leaving the main trail start roughly contouring east and descend to subsidiary stream of the Khare Khola. Then steady climb up to the attractive farming and trading village of Pangkongma. Day 5 Pangkongma –Najing Dingma (2500m.): Fine views west back to Takshindu Monastery, Lamjura and north-west to Kwangde. A climb through thick rhododendron forest and bamboo leads to Pangkongma La (3175) before an attractive descent to the small settlement of Shibuje. There are beautiful views from here looking south across the endless foothills rising each side of the Hinku valley and shortly after the descent, Mera with its twin vertical south face come into sight at the top end of this most impressive valley. After lunch the trail drops steeply for two hours down to a small bridge over the Hinku Khola. It is then a climb up to our campsite Najing Dingma. Day 6 Najing - Cholem Kharka(3200m): Following up the south flank, a deceptively long and steep climb leads to the Surke La(3085m). Shortly after we pass the trail that leads east to Tumlingtar and east Nepal and another one leading to a small village called Chosumb. We follow a third way up and cross the slope. After one and half-hour or so climb an attractive campsite set amidst for and rhododendron is reached. Day 7 Chalem Kharka –Chambu Kharka (4200m): We follow the west side of the ridge before climbing through the last scrub rhododendron. The trail turns north climbing between two bluffs. Passing through more grazing country the route leads us a steep climb and a pass at about 3900m, offering marvelous mountain views east right across to Kanchenjunga and to the north some of the mountains surrounding the Hongu and Hinku villages. More hard work climbing up to around 4450m leads to an ill defined trail down to the banks of the main lake and camp further down near small stream. Day 8 Chamu Kharka – Khote (3691m): A steep climb leads out of the valley before the trail encounter along and around towards the main Hinku valley. This is followed be a series of steep descents first west wards down scree, then north west through scrub rhododendron and on into fir. A scrambling descent of around 690m brings us down near the valley floor where we cross the Mojong Khola and on through a boulder strewn forest to a lunch spot at Rondruk Dingma. After the route follows along a fairly rough trail following the bank of the river to Khote Day 9 Khote – Thaknag (4356m): The trail leads up and then after lunch steepens before turning east and gradually leveling off into the valley with the Wela La straight ahead and Mera Peak up and to the right. Day 10 A day rest for acclimatization day offering worthwhile diversion / exploration trip up to the Saboi Tso Lake Day 11 Tangnag – Khare(5000m. Much will depend on conditions at the time but in any event the afternoon should be kept free for sorting gear, checking crampons etc. in preparation for the climb. Day 12 Khare – Base Camp: From Khare it is a two hour climb up a steep little winding path which leads to a small high pass. It is then 45 minutes to cross the tongue of the Mera glacier and the route moves out onto the glacier itself. It is about one and half hour up to the Mera La pass(5415m.) which offers fine views east and west. Day 13 A high camp is put in anywhere between half and an hour above the pass itself. In some ways the higher the better to easy the length of the climb the following morning. Day 14 Ascent of Mera Peak 6476 m. Return to Khare Day 15 Khare-Khote Day 16 Khote– Tsetare (4225m): From Khote the the trail turns uphill and we gradually climb above the tree line onto more broken and uneven ground. A day of almost constant ascent leads us to camp. Day 17 Tsetare –Lukla (2800m): The climb continues for about one and half hour up to the Zaterwala pass at (4500m). There are a series of chortents and Mani walls marking this pass which offers fine views across to kwangde, Lumding Himal and Kariolung 6400m). Also views back east to the Poyan valley and across to our earlier route on the far side of the Inuku. The descent towards Lukla starts steeply down. Day 18 The trek ends with the spectacular flight from Lukla to Kathmandu. Day 19 Free day in Kathmandu. Day 20 Transfer to airport for onward flight. ---

hallo, ieder jaar ga ik tweemaal naar Nepal. steeds ben ik bij dezelfde familie, welke ook de trekkings en de expedities organiseren. ik merk dat u reeds klaar bent met de organisatie voor de trekking naar de Mera Peak. Mijn bedoeling was meer om mensen uit te nodigen om met mij mee te gaan dan omgekeerd. graag uw reactie met vriendelijke groeten luk ---

Beste, het past misschien een volgende keer. goed om weten: wij maken steeds een programma op maat en op verzoek van de mensen die meegaan. Wij bereiden ook een expeditie voor het beklimmen van de Everest (over 2 à 3 jaar) ieder jaar doen wij trainingen in de Hymalaya. Zo gaan we ook in het najaar trainen op Island peak - basic camp - hoogte kamp en “speciaal” tamang camp - vanuit dit camp trainen we op techniek - team work - hoogte - enz… laat maar iets weten groeten Luk
