great many magnificent natural landscapes. You will have a direct view of the
southern face of the Everest from this point of your trek. Moreover, you will
have great many rare glances of watershed area, the wild and heavily wooded
valleys Hinku and Hongu Drangkas from this heavenly space. In this route to the
Mera peak, you can experience the rarest of the rare chances of venturing
through little visited and as yet un-spoilt region of Nepal where the hillsides
still remain densely forested for everyone’s pleasure. As you set to trek
towards Mera Peak, you start gathering great pleasure of reaching above 21,000
feet and looking down the whole earth. You will be marching through the Hongu
and the Hinku valleys which have remained uninhabited although there are
Kharka, places for cattle grazing in the Upper Hinku basin where Sherpa from
the South, near Pangkongma, are occasionally seen grazing their cattle during
the grass- growing monsoon season. As you pass through the upper Hongu basin,
you will march through a mountainous wilderness. You will also venture through
some beautiful forests, massive moraines, glacial lakes and spectacular peaks
that include Charmlang and Baruntse.
This trek is difficult, but not technical. Therefore, a
physically fit and acclimatized person (amateur or serious climbers) with basic
technique and information on mountaineering can opt for this trek in the Khumbu
region. Those looking for more of a challenge can try another package, that is,
Everest Base Camp with Island peakclimbing. Moreover, climbing Pisang Peak is also another excellent
selection of thrill seekers.
