Mera and Sherpini Col Pass Trekking, Mera and Sherpini Col Pass Information

Trip Overview

Mera Peak and Sherpani Col Pass trek takes us away from the more frequented trails, which lead to Everest Base Camp and over a little used pass to the east, through which we enter the sparsely inhabited Hinku Valley. From here we walk northwards through a beautiful high alpine environment, where Mera Peak at (6,470m.) the highest trekking peak in Nepal, towers over the valley. Traversing around to the north, however, we find a softer side to the mountain, and from here it is a non-technical climb which anyone with ice-axe and crampon experience can attempt.

If you’ve acclimatized well, and have strong lungs and plenty of willpower, you can reach the summit of this beautiful Himalayan peak and obtain views that encompass four of the five highest mountains on earth standing proud over hundreds of lesser ones, many still unnamed and unclimbed. After climbing Mera Peak, one of the best scenic rails lead you south-east to Makalu Base Camp crossing high passes of Sherpini Col and gradually trails decent to Tumlingtar where we finish the trek and fly back to Kathmandu.
