This superb trek takes us away from the more frequented trails leading to Everest Base Camp, to over a pass to the east.
Entering this very sparsely inhabited Hunku Valley, we walk northwards through a beautiful high alpine environment, from which Mera Peak (6476 m) the highest trekking peak in Nepal towers over the valley. Traversing around to the north, we find a softer side, and from here it is no technical climb. It can be attempted if you have acclimatized well, with strong lungs and have the view of four of the five highest mountains on earth standing proud over hundreds more, many of which are still unnamed and unclimbed. Enviro Treks since its operation in 2001 with its capable crews have enviable records in the numbers of clients who have reached the summit.
After the Mera summit, the trail will follow crossing Mingbo La or Tashi Lapcha down to Everest classic route to Chukung or Pangboche, via Thyangboche Monastery. Next day we trek to Namche and down to Lukla. From here we fly back to Kathmandu the following day.
