Amphulapcha High pass Trekking in Everest region
This is one of Nepal's most challenging treks and peak climbing set in breathtaking high mountain scenery. Mera Peak is situated in the Makalu Barun National Park on the edge of the Khumbu region. At 6476m it is the highest of the Nepal Trekking Peaks, and commands one of the best viewpoints in Nepal; there are panoramic views of Everest, Lohtse, Nuptse, Makalu, Cho Oyo, Kanchenjunga, Ama Dablam, Chamlang and Baruntse. However, Mera is a technically straightforward peak to climb, attainable by non-climbers who are fit and who have an out-going sense of adventure, who are able to meet the challenges of trekking to significant altitude in the presence of a competent guide, supported by a team of porters. Climbers will need to make use of crampons to make the ascent, will use a long ice axe for support, and be roped to a guide across the glacier. First time users of these aids will be given instruction on their use at the base camp.
This course lead you to the most popular climbing peaks Mera and Island. Mera is the highest trekking peaks in Nepal considerably easy to ascend. We will be walking through the dense forest of rhododendron with standing Himalayan pine in first few Days. The summit of Mera peak gives you outstanding views of Mt. Makalu, Mt. Baruntse and Mt.
