NEPAL:MERA PEAK - IMJA TSE CLIMBING This very demanding high-alpine tour leads through mostly uninhabited areas of the Hongu Himal and needs all your team spirit. The mighty glacial landscape between Mera Peak and Amphu Labtsa is one of the best a mountaineer can experience in Nepal. From Lukla you soon have to cross a pass to reach the Hongu and the base camp of the Mera Peak (6476m). The ascent is technically easy and the view breathtaking: Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Manaslu, Cho Oyu, Makalu and Kanchenjunga After the summit you trek through the wild Hongu to the lakes of Panch Pokhari at the base of the Amphu Labtsa. Though the pass is easier nowadays it should not be underestimated and be attacked with guides, porters and members as a team. The following ascent of Imja Tse (Island Peak) is easy because of the very good acclimatization too. An easy trek through the Kumbhu to Namche Bazar and Lukla rounds up this very beautiful and demanding high-alpine tour.
