Hinku Valley. Trekking and camping in this wild land
of abundant rhododendron and Himalayan pine forests
is impressive. At Tangnag, we will explore the huge

village. We will proceed to Khare (16,729') and once

to climb Mera Peak, first climbed in May 1953. The

for our early morning summit. From high camp, we can
take in a sweeping view of Kanchenjunga, Chamlang,
Makalu to the east, Everest and Lhotse to the north
and Ama Dablam, Cho Oyu and Kangtega to the west.
This view is undoubtedly one of the most stunning
in all of Nepal. With good conditions, we will summit
Mera Peak the following morning. We will continue
north through the uninhabited Hinku Valley with almost
constant views of magnificent mountains. We will spend
several days camping beside the lovely lakes Dudh
and Panch Pokhari before climbing over Amphu Lapcha
(18,958'). We will make our way to Dingboche, then
Lobuche and along the moraine to the base of Kala
Pattar (18,192'). You will have the option of climbing
the "Black Rock" for a panoramic view of
some of the world's highest mountains including Everest,

Icefall. As we make our way back to Lukla, we will

Pass, 5400 M, and Gokyo Valley. For this considered
as Everest High Pass. Only good walkers are advised
