    When Everest was first climbed by Edmund Hillary and Tenzing in 1953, they walked virtually all the way to Base Camp from Kathmandu. We start, of course, by driving to Jiri, but nevertheless the initial route to Namche is very much the same as that used originally. Since that first ascent, Edmund Hillary has devoted his life to building schools, medical centres, bridges and airstrips to raise the standards of living for the Sherpa people.

    The Mountain Mera Peak is officially the highest of Nepal's permitted trekking peaks that rises to the south of Everest and dominates the watershed between the wild and heavily wooded valleys of the Hinku and Hongu Drankas is truly a part of the Khumbu Himal.

    It was first climbed by J.O.M Roberts and Sen Tenzing on 20th May 1953, using what is now the standard route through Mera La. This highest trekking peak boasts an absolutely stunning summit panorama that includes 5 of the world's 8000m peaks: Kangchenjunga, Makalu, Lhotse, Cho-Oyu and Everest and other many smaller mountains.

    Although very high, Mera is a straightforward climb and is frequently ascended by groups and individuals whose only climbing qualifications are that they are fit and have an out-going sense of adventure.

    This special expedition to Mera is designed for those who only have three working weeks holiday time available. The first fourteen days take us south from the airstrip at Lukla, trekking through beautiful forested hillsides and over several passes before climbing up to the Mera La. After the climb, we descend directly to Lukla via the Zatrwa La pass.

    In good conditions it is possible for a fit party to reach the summit and return to base camp in one day. It is normal, however, to establish a high-camp at 19,000ft/5,800m on the Mera Glacier, in order to shorten the summit day. The climb itself takes the north face glacier in a steady rise to the summit ridge which leads, in an exposed and exciting situation, to the top. After the mountain has been climbed, we return by a direct route across a dramatic ridge to Lukla and the flight to Kathmandu.
