Breathing becomes difficult approaching the summit of Mera Peak mimicking the primary symptom of Pulmonary Hypertension--sustained breathlessness. Pulmonary hypertension is a life-threatening disease that makes it difficult to breathe. It typically attacks children and women.
This unusual trek has spectacular views of Mt. Everest and her neighbors. Coverage of this little-visited and still unspoiled region of Nepal will include views of the Hinku Valley, one of the wildest and most beautiful in Nepal.
