Ivan Dusharin, vice-president of Russian Mountaineering Federation, went to Nepal on Meru Peak, as the guide of 7 Summits Club. Members of a new expedition - a close-knit team, whose members are preparing for serious climbing - storming the Himalayan peaks of Cho Oyu (8201 m). In preparation for the expedition to this eight-thouthander, they made two ascents of Elbrus with the 7 Summits Club this season. Now the team is going to Mera Peak, and in spring they are going to Cho Oyu.
Today, arriving in Kathmandu, the group has already been at afternoon in Lukla and began a program of acclimatization.

Ivan Dusharin: We are in Lukla, the flight went normally. We are staying in the loggia "Everest". But here we were not satisfied with the catering. So we had dinner in the lodge "Himalaya". Tomorrow we plan to go up the valley, according to the plan. No more problems. Today we walked around Lukla, bought some stuff. Bye! Ivan Dusharin.
