Recognized as one of the most dangerous airports in the world, the flight to Lukla is an adventure in itself. The small airstrip nestled high on a cliff has an uncharacteristically short runway. The flight to Lukla gives us unprecedented beautiful views of the mountains and the mountainous terrain of Nepal. However, there are chances of flight delays or cancellations and we have proper plans to accommodate such incidents in our journey. We leave Lukla and move forward. The walk is a nice one through the magnolia and rhododendron forests. We will be crossing some old bridges and farms to reach Nangbu. We continue ahead towards Chutanga along the pleasant trail with great scenic backdrops. Upon reaching Chutanga, we can observe the lifestyle of the people in the region.

Today, after breakfast, we will move out and cross small passes after which we will get the first glimpse of Mera Peak (6,476m).

We make our way to Thangnak today, where we will spend two nights to acclimatize. The ascent isn’t steep making it an easy walk. We will be able to see the desolate upper Hinku valley which provides magnificent views of Kusum Kanguru (6,367m) and other peaks. We will pass a small Gompa also which seems to have camouflaged perfectly with the rocky setting. We will further climb up to reach Thangnak. Overnight at a lodge or guest house in Thangnak.

Acclimatization is the key to any successful trek. This allows you to adapt to low oxygen at high altitude and is often done by hiking around surrounding hills. Keeping oneself active and moving around is the best-recommended method for acclimatization. We can append the day by exploring the areas around Thangnak.

With wonderful vires of Mera (6,476m), Kusum Kanguru (6,367m) and Kyashar (6,769m) mountains, we will trek on the easy path to Khare. We will be able to see many colorful tents from various expeditions and lodges while the cloudy atmosphere adds to the mysterious beauty of this place. The human settlement is the last one before the Base Camp of Mera peak. Overnight at a lodge or guest house in Khare.

As we are at a height of 5000m, it is crucial that we acclimatize. We will make short hikes around the area and adapt our bodies to the Himalayan atmosphere. If any discomfort is felt, be sure to immediately inform your trekking guide. He will take the necessary steps according to the progression of the symptoms.

The climb today is going to be relatively easy. We will gradually ascend to Mera La pass (5415m) and continue on the trail ahead. As we move up, we reach the base camp we see many tents set up by many expeditions. You can explore the area and converse with people and share your experiences.

We will be making our move to ascend the peak at early hours of the morning, while it’s still dark. It is a slow walk to the top as the sun slowly rises and shines a light on the mountains. Everest (8,848.86m) can be seen along with peaks such as the Makalu (8,463m), Lhotse (8,414m), and Cho Oyu (8,188m) and even Kanchenjunga (8,586m) towards the far east of Nepal.  On reaching the peak we will get an immense feeling of accomplishment and witness the highest mountains of the world which is an absolute delight.

If we are unable to make the summit on the proposed day, we will be attempting the climb today. This is a reserve day to keep us safe from unpredictable weather conditions, which might hamper the ascent. Overnight at a lodge or guest house in Khare.

We will make quite a descent today to Khare. Retracing our steps we will cross the small settlements and little monasteries on our way.

We follow the same paths as we did before. While previously we walked these steps we were filled with anticipation, now we are filled with a sense of accomplishment. We will walk through Thuli Kharka and also pass the Zatrwa La pass (4610m). Before reaching Chatrabuk, we will go through sparse rhododendron forests.

Our last day of walking, we move towards Lukla bidding farewell to the Himalayan ranges and exotic landscapes. This walk is a good time to reminisce and experiences of the trek and the climb.
