After taking in the scenery for a while, we begin our descent through the pine forest to the Hinku River. Overnight at local lodge at Nashing Dingma.

We take the breakfast and set off on our day's adventure. The first section is uphill climb amid green mountain foliage and cow grazing fields.

Today, we're walking towards to Chunbu Kharka, which sits at 4200m/13779ft above sea level. It's a long day of uphill trekking at a high elevation amid the vast alpine environment. On our way uphill towards a pass to cross, we travel through various grazing meadows before arriving at Chunbu Kharka. Overnight at local lodge.

For the most part, the trail to Kothe in the Hinku Valley is a downward stroll. On a steep downhill slope, it's a green woodland trek. The trip on a downward trail will be a bit difficult, and we must use caution. At Kothe, we'll descend to the riverbank. Overnight at local lodge.

The walk over the crest of Hinku Khola today takes us to Tagnag. We will be passing via Gondishung and passing by the Lungsumgba monastery, an old Buddhist monastery to reach the destination today.

We will get back at the base camp, we will talk about our climbing process and climbing route ahead. Overnight at camp.

After breakfast, we'll make our way to high camp. Our day is made a little more difficult by a difficult climb through snow and multiple crevasses. However, climbing expeditions are inherently dangerous. We acclimate to the atmosphere and surroundings and carefully make our way up to high camp. When we get at the high camp, we pitch our tents and overnight at tents.

Today is Mera Peak's summit day, the first of our trip's expedition peaks. We begin the ascent early in the morning, walking through the snow to the summit. Mera Peak is a less technical mountain to climb, and once we reach the top, we can enjoy a wonderful view of Everest, the world's tallest mountain, and the 8000m/25246ft mountains of Lhotse (8516m/27939ft) and Cho Oyu (8210m/26935ft), as well as several other mountains such as the Ama Dablam, Kangtega, Chamlang, and other lovely mountains We descend to the base camp and hike all the way down to Khare after taking in the breathtaking views from the peak of Mera Peak. Khare will be our home for the night. Overnight at local lodge.

Today is an extra day for contingency (possible delays, unforeseen circumstances) on our climbing journey

Today we will walk towards Kothe following the trial which is usually downhill and slope and easier to walk. We will be walking through Oak, Rhododendron, and pine forest to reach Kothe where we will have our overnight at the local lodge.

Today we will begin our journey to Thuli Kharka. The first leg of our uphill hike through a rhododendron woodland is steep. We continue to be awestruck by the spectacular view of Mera, our adventure peak, which will always remind us of the incredible trip we had on the mountain. We continue walking towards Thuli Kharka. Overnight stay in a local hotel.

Today we return to Lukla on foot. We pass via Zatrwa La pass, which is located at an elevation of 4600m/15901ft above sea level, on our approach to Lukla. It takes roughly 2 hours to walk up to the pass. The vista of the Lukla valley and high peaks such as Kongde and Numbur is breathtaking. We begin trekking towards Lukla via Chutanga on a smooth and easy trail after admiring the view from the pass. We thank our expedition team members for a great and wonderful journey once we arrive in Lukla. Our voyage would have been impossible without them. Overnight stay in a local hotel.  

We fly back to Kathmandu in a fixed-winged aircraft on another gorgeous morning journey. It's difficult to say a sincere goodbye to the gorgeous mountains after so many days of wonderful times among them, but we must. After so many days of amazing and fresh mountain air, we finally arrive at Kathmandu airport to breathe the city air. We are transferred to our hotel and left on our own to enjoy and relax.  Overnight in Hotel.
