walking meditation                             

Annapurna base camp (4130 mt)

   Walking meditation can be just as profound     as sitting meditation, and has the advantage of         bringing the meditative experience into our activity. There are a number of different walking meditations. Our variation is informal and easy.  It allows you to be more present in your body  and in the present moment. The simple                 experience of alternating steps with the left and right foot naturally helps create a meditative state.

There is a tremendous richness of experience to become aware of as you walk. The body loves movement, and will reward you with pleasure if you pay attention to how it feels! So much of the time we are caught up in our mental worlds — thinking of the past or future, planning, imagining… Paying attention to the body as you walk will help you to enjoy simply being alive. (Although there are sitting meditations in which you pay attention to the body, it is easier to do so when the body is in motion. This is another advantage of walking mediation  ......

MEERA PEAK CLIMBING

mera peak 

1. Mountain in Nepal
2. Mera Peak is a mountain in the Mahalangur section, Barun sub-section of the Himalaya and administratively in Nepal's Sagarmatha Zone, Solukhumbu District. At 6,476 metres it is classified as a trekking peak.Wikipedia
5. Elevation: 6,476 m
6. First ascent: May 20, 1953
7. First ascenders: J. O. M. Roberts, Sen Tenzing
8. Mountain range: Himalayas, Mahalangur Himal

Mera Peak is usually  regarded as the highest official trekking climbing peak in the worldwide . as well as known as popular peak from nepal .many climbers has already been every year ..
In any case it remains a popular destination due to its easy standard route, which requires only basic mountaineering skills to achieve an altitude considerably higher than a European or North American peak..
In addition the Mera Peak trek is superb. The Hinku and Hongu valleys are spectacular Himalayan wilderness.

From the summit of Mera one can see 5 of the 6 highest mountains in the world: Everest, Kangchenjunga, Lhotse, Makalu, and Cho Oyo. an many more ranges  The standard route from the north involves little more than high altitude glacier walking. The ease of reaching this elevation may be its biggest danger but good weather and snow conditions are, of course, necessary for safety and success. The west and south faces of the peak offer difficult technical routes.

The first ascent was on May 20, 1953 by Col. Jimmy Roberts and Sen Tenzing. The region was first explored extensively by British expeditions in the early 50's before and after the ascent of Everest. Members of those teams included Edmund Hillary, Eric Shipton and Geroge Lowe.

(Jimmy Roberts (1916-1997) was probably the person who can take most of the credit for establising the trekking industry in Nepal in the early 1960's. He was posthumously awarded the "Sagarmatha (Everest) National Award" by the government in May 2005.)

How To Get There

take a flight to  Lukla by  twin otter .  Heading north towards Namche Bazaar and Everest, trek east towards the ridge of peaks that divides the Dudh Kosi from the Hinku Valley. Cross the Zatra La (15,000’ / 4600m) then descend steeply to the Hinku. Go north and east for for 2-3 more days to reach the Mera La (17,767’ / 5415m). The summit is now to the south and can be reached in one or two days of glacier travel.

Proper acclimatization is key to having a good chance of reaching the summit. Our group used the following camps with most members acclimatizing well. This schedule put us on the summit 12 days after leaving Lukla.

   - Lukla (9,186’ / 2800’)

   - Chutanga (11,115’ / 3400m) – 2 nights

    -Tuli Kharka (14,436’ / 4400m) – after crossing Zatra La

    -Tashing Ongma (11,489’ / 3500)

    -Tangnag (14,108’ / 4300m) – 2 nights

    -Khare (16,729’ / 5099m) – 3 nights

   -Mera La (17,767’ / 5415m)

   - High Camp (19,028’ / 5800m)
    -Summit and return to Mera La peak

At the camps where we spent more than one night the extra days were used to climb about 2,000’- (600m) above camp, following the “climb high, sleep low” as mountaineering rule.

Spending the night at the high camp is highly recommeded,  for its stunning views, and for the higher success rate in reaching the summit.

The return can backtrack, or better yet, you can descend the east side of the Mera La into the totally wild Hongu Valley. Trek north with the awesome precipices of Chamlang on your right to Panch Pokhari (Five Lakes). There you cross the Amphu Labsa, a difficult pass of 19,193‘ / 5850m. The amazing Lhotse south face is staring right at you. The steep descent takes you past Imja Tse & (Island Peak), another popular trekking peak, to Chukungvalley and then back into the normal Everest trekking routes follow the same trails back to luckla an fly out to kathmandu ...
