What a precious video! Thank you for sharing such beautiful and informative content. It's mesmerizing and could serve as a fantastic guide for many hikers planning trips to Mera or similar expeditions.
Thank you very much. Thought about doing one for Himlung as well, although that would be a bit more specific and longer due to the higher difficulty and need for equipment...
Thank you very much! I hope you find it helpful! It was more or less requested by another subscriber... If you have any suggestions, feel free to make them and I'll see if I can be of help :)
Danke, das freut mich zu hören. Wir waren dort mit Namas Adventure. Am Mera Peak hat alles gut geklappt, aber später hatten wir einige Probleme damit. Deswegen würde ich Namas nicht wirklich empfehlen. Schau mal bei Diamir Erlebnisreisen ins Programm - mit denen war ich schon oft unterwegs und es war immer sehr gut organisiert!
The way I did it: 1) from Dingpoche to bit past Chukhung, camping. 2) half day to Amphu Labtsa Phedi, camp. 3) over Amphu Labtsa to east side of Peak 41, camp. 4) to Mera La 5400m, camp. 5) start at 6 am, summit Mera central 10.00, down to camp, take it down, continue to Thagnak, arrive 14.00. overnight in yak herder hut 6) hike to leaning rock camp, sleep out. 7) over Zatrwa La to Lukla. No lodges, no services, no trekkers, no permits. Year: 1985. I can not understand why people start from "high camp" at midnight, should take no more than 3 hours max form there.
Well we started at 02:15am and it took us 04:30hrs to get to the summit. Everyone has their own pace and that's fine. No need to rush. If you've done it differently - congrats. Doesn't mean that's for everyone or that it's the best way to do it
What do you suggest if someone crosses Mera Pass from Thangnag/Khare and continues trekking toward Amphu Labtsa Pass? From there, can we descend to Everest Base Camp/Imja Lake?
That would be the same trek as our team did but in reverse. I have never been there, so I can't really comment on your suggestions... Maybe you'll find more content on UA-cam for that region
Of course it is possible, takes a few days and fixed ropes on the North side of Amphu Labtsa. From acclimatisation standpoint it is better to visit EBC first, then cross Amphu Labtsa, climb Mera and exit to Lukla. Takes about a week less. We hiked Dingpoche - AL - Mera - Zatrwa La - Lukla in 7 days, could have done it in 6 actually.

Really appreciate your videos and especially this one, as this video covers the route and gear topics 👍🏻

Klasse! Spannende Gegend, wird mal geplant. Danke für das informative Video
Danke dir!
Ist definitiv wirklich eine Reise wert! Schon allein der Trek dorthin ist wahnsinnig schön
Klasse Video, hilft uns sehr bei unserer Planung. Mit welcher company hast du den climb gemacht?
Danke, das freut mich zu hören.

Hi! Thanks for the video. In which store did you rent the boots? Do they have a variety of sizes?
I didn't rent any shoes, I had my own. Ask your company about it, there are a lot of them in Khare

Can we rent out the equipment and do we need to have a guide for this trek, thank you
I don't know if a guide is mandatory or not, but definitely recommended.
You can rent the equipment (boots, crampons etc) at Khare
