A MUST DO FOR YOUR ADVENTUROUS TRIP TO NEPAL!

Trekkers are in for the rare opportunity of researching the character’s best locations in the world and at the same time observing specific customs of the locals in a country like Nepal where there is a rich variety of customs and culture closely assimilated and connected with the geographical location of the people. The highest trekking mountain in Nepal, among many others, is Mera peak climbing. People who may not have specific technical climbing experience have chosen to climb these mountains. Additionally, the government charges far less for permits to climb these mountains in an effort to promote tourism than it does for some of those larger and more renowned peaks like Mt. Everest. But make no mistake, these hills are not difficult. About 6,500 meters above sea level, Mt. Mera is located. Climbers must make sure they are properly armed and in top physical shape because the weather is chilly and unreliable at this height. Despite being categorized as a trekking peak, Mt. Mera shouldn’t be taken lightly. Always selecting the appropriate footwear is an essential part of preparation. Even during the climbing season, which is just after the monsoon rains have ceased and before the start of winter, climbers may likely experience temperatures that are many degrees below freezing. Given these circumstances, it is advisable to have a great pair of warm boots for this specific journey. The majority of us who ascend Mount Mera wear double-plastic boots. These are made of a hard plastic outer shell that is waterproof and rigid enough to accept crampons and a warm, soft inside boot made of insulating foam. There are two key benefits to using a dual boot. The first is that it offers an enormous amount of insulation and warmth. The second benefit is that since you can remove your inner boot, you can let it air dry at night as it will get wet with perspiration during the day. During my trek to Mera, I really wore a basic pair of cloth boots with a watertight inner up to an elevation of about 5,800 meters. When worn with two pairs of socks, these boots were incredibly toasty (a thin inner lining made from polypropylene and a thick outer sock made of wool). But after leaving my high camp and having to start clearing a path through thick snow, I required a pair of boots that were entirely watertight and had sturdy gaiters to keep the snow off of them. Even with two pairs of socks and those toasty boots, my feet still felt chilly at the end of the day. Despite the fact that I didn’t have frostbite, I believe that I would have with such heated boots. You must walk everything in the Khumbu region because there are no genuine roads, starting with the airport in Lukla. You follow the road from the airport to Lukla and find yourself just two days away in Namche. You will pass through various settlements along the way. Although Monju is said to be the ideal overnight stop before the arduous push to Namche, Ghat and Phakding are both highly recommended for their hotels and dining options. Depending on your level of fitness and how often you stop to take in the view, the hike should last three hours or less. Given that Namche is around 3440m above sea level, you should start to experience the effects of the increasing altitude. You should take it gently and drink plenty of water while keeping an eye out for symptoms of altitude sickness. It is advised that you stay in Namche for a few days after arriving so that you can adjust to the altitude. A few museums, pizzerias, and internet cafĂŠs may be found in this beautiful tiny community. There are also a number of walks to local villages that you may take to become used to hiking at high altitude.
