The 7 Summits Club group "V Meru Peak" crossed the Zatvra La pass and descended to the lodge in the village of Tuli-Kharka

Mera Peak. April 27/28. Greetings to everyone from Nepal from the "V Meru Peak" team! We are doing great! The connection is unstable, though, so we are sending news for the last two days at once.

Yesterday morning we left Lukla and headed towards the village of Chutang. It is amazing, but the nature here is very different from what we see on the track to EBC, although we simply went to another gorge.

Of course, the conditions on the route are also very different - there are much fewer people here and the lodges are much simpler. But there is a special atmosphere here! We reached Chutang in 3 hours, gaining 700 m in altitude.

It was snowing and raining almost all night. At 7.45 we left the lodge. Today's trek was quite long - 6-7 hours. At first we admired the forest of blooming rhododendron trees, covered with moss and dusted with snow, and then as we gained altitude, the weather began to deteriorate sharply and visibility disappeared completely.

Nevertheless, we overcame the Zatrva La pass (4600), and driven by the wind and snow, we descended to our lodge in the village of Tuli-Kharka (4250), where we are already having lunch and warming ourselves by the stove!  A great working day!
