Intrepid Travel Announces New Nepal Adventure up Mera Peak
As a result of the increasing demand for Nepal adventure travel, Intrepid Travel announces a new technical climbing trek up Mera Peak.
Nepal's highest trekking peak, Mera Peak, offers all that makes Nepal a classic adventure travel destination. Warm up with steady ascents over 10 days, trekking across Nepal's famous mountain scenery. Follow Dig Glacier with stunning views of the north face of Mera to Khare, where there is time to become familiarized with the trekking kit and get in some climbing practice.
Nepal adventure travelers will trek to 6,476m and take in some of the most spectacular views as they follow glaciers, frosted rivers and rocky valleys. Along the way Intrepid Travel will teach travelers the art of walking in crampons and using an ice pick. These new skills will prove of good use as travelers work to ascend the summit of Mera Peak.
Adventure travelers on the new Mera Peak Nepal adventure will:
-- Learn to use technical climbing gear
-- Follow magnificent glaciers
-- Camp among mountains and valleys
-- Climb to the summit of Mera Peak
-- Explore the sights of vibrant Kathmandu
-- Experience Nepal's spectacular wilderness
Although this trek is challenging it does not require special mountaineering skills -- travelers just need to be reasonably fit, have a sense of adventure, and be ready for an awe-inspiring climb.
The Mera Peak adventure trek lasts for 21 days and costs $3070 (plus local payment of $300). To learn more about this exciting new Nepal adventure trek visit: http://www.intrepidtravel.com/trips/nxm
