KUSUM KANGURU PEAK CLIMBING

 

Kusum Kanguru Peak - General Information

If you have ever followed the Traditional route to Everest via Jiri then you must have seen a daunting peak dominating the southern end of Charpati Himal, and that separates the valley of the Dudh Koshi from the upper reaches of Hinku Drangka. This peak is a complex, triple-summited mountain having at least five major ridges and faces. 
 
The north face of the main summit is the most spectacular one. The name Kusum Kanguru comes from Tibetan meaning “Three Snow Peaks”. This peak is one of the most difficult trekking peaks to climb and was first ascended in the autumn of 1979 by a Japanese team.

Mera Peak (6,654m / 21,830 ft) - The Highest Trekking Peak in Nepal

 
Mera Peak is located at the head of the quiet and remote Hinku valley, an area of the Mount Everest region rarely frequented by trekkers or visitors. There are many approaches to Mera; some are easy and some require the crossing of high and difficult passes.

South ridge is considered un-climbable, East and north faces almost so. Northeast ridge is a difficult mixed 1600 meters climb. West face is possible, so is north-west ridge, but access to Mera West glacier (Khare glacier) is difficult; either a 500 climb up an icefall or a 1,000 meter climb over west side ramparts to the glacial basin at 5,600 meters.
 

  
Chulu East (6,584m / 21,599 ft) could be next you want to see

 
If you are looking for a climb up to Chulu Peaks, the next to think could be Chulu East (6,584m / 21,599 ft).

Close up views of the Annapurna range (40 miles between the two river valleys contain at twelve 7,000 m peaks and many more above the 6,000m) and varied ecosystems, diverse cultures and an ever changing landscape - lush, green paddy fields and oak forests, arid deserts, the deepest gorge and some of the most fascinating mountains make this one of the most popular areas in the world for trekkers and mountaineers.
