Our adventure begins with a flight to Tumlingtar. From here we descend to the
deep gorge of the beautiful Arun Valley. The Arun Valley is lush, green oasis;
rich in bird life and these first few days provide a fascinating contrast to
high mountain scape as we approach Mera. Our route to the Mera La will take us
through thick rhododendron and bamboo forest separating the hongu and hunku
valleys. On the trail to Panch Pokhari you will come across a beautiful Sherpa
Village and Kirong La Monastery.
From Panch Pokhari you will descend to Hunku River, a complete wilderness trail.
The views along this section are superb. Towards the east we can see the
Kanchenjunga and Jannu. To the north, the views of Hunku and Hongu dominate. The
trail continues to Thangnag (4366m) from here we move to Khare (5108m) where we
establish the base camp at the foot of the glacier leading to Mera La (5415m).
Here we have a number of days to rest, explore and acclimatize. Our return will
take us south, down to the Hunku Drangka before turning west to cross the
Zattrawa La to the mountain airstrip at Lukla. |
