Across Zatrwa La



Mera is situated in the upper Hinku valley, the neighboring valley to the Dush Kosi-valley with the famous trekking route to Everest, and to get from Lukla and Dudh Kosi to Hinku you have to cross a more than fire km high mountain range. The few routes existing across this range are all steep, and the climb begins right after leaving Lukla. After about three hours' trekking we reached Chutanga, the first campsite in 3355m. Weather had been bad the previous days, and this day was no exception, still cold and damp. The snow was not far away, and through the haze we could se it covering the slopes behind the camp, the slopes we were to climb the next day.
