Our adventure begins with a flight to the
small airstrip on fixed wings or Helicopter at 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 escape 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
Kanchanjunga 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. From here we will fly back to Kathmandu
the following day to a spectacular end.
