Himalayan Paragliding - Mera Peak

This season our objective is the spectacular Mera Peak, set in a remote valley system and in the shadow of three of the world's highest mountains, Everest, Lhotse and Makalu. Our plan is to trek into the Hinku Valley from a STOL landing strip at Lukla - this involves crossing a 4000m pass on day 2 followed by a paraglider flight down to Tagnag, a small habitation. From there we plan to climb Mera from a base camp on the Mera La, a three day ascent, and to fly from the summit.
Our exit from the area back to the Khumbu will be, weather permitting, via the high and challenging Amphu Lapsha Pass, a three day climb at altitudes of over 5000m.
