The Mera Peak Climbing with Trek is one of our favourite treks and peak climbing we’d be delighted to help you explore this impressive region in Nepal.
Climbers of the magnificent Mera Peak (6470m), return with awe-inspired with stories to tell about the thrills of the grand expedition to the top of an elegant, snow-capped Himalayan giant. Located in the Everest Region of Nepal, Mera Peak claims the title of the highest elevation “trekking peak” permitted for climbing in the Himalayas, to this day. From the summit, panoramic views of Mt. Everest, Kangtega, Ama Dablam, Mt. Makalu, Lhotse, Nuptse, and many other treasured Himalayan peaks draw one of the world’s most precious skylines. Mera Peak is mostly technically straightforward, and is suitable for novice to expert climbers. Accompanied by a professional, highly experienced guide, the varying skill levels of climbers will be accommodated for, optimizing the best experience possible for each individual climber.
The first people to summit Mera Peak were Sen Tenzin and Jimmy Roberts on May 20th, 1953. Beginning with a beautiful flight from the bustling city of Kathmandu to the peaceful, gateway village of Lukla to the Everest region, climbers will be trekking through a lush forest with rhododendrons, tranquil streams, and yak pastures on trail. On the traditional route to the Mera Peak base camp, climbers first trek through the dramatic landscapes of the Hinku Valley. In this valley, the local Sherpa people reside. Climbers are welcomed by their warm hospitality, in addition to experiencing and observing the traditions of the Sherpa people - a well-preserved, cultural heritage of the Himalayas.
The most popular seasons to climb Mera Peak are from March to May and September to December. Accomodation is provided in both quaint, traditional teahouses and tenting. The guides will provide a very authentic cultural experience, introducing the local culture along the way. Diverse landscapes of rugged, snowy mountain ridges, and lush vegetation along the trek make for an eye-pleasing and unforgettable expedition. Mera Peak is mostly technically straightforward, but can be physically challenging with high Himalayan altitudes. Therefore, climbers should note that prior training is recommended.
All in all, Mera Peak stands a tall gem in the Everest Region in Nepal. Varying levels of climbers are accommodated for by well-experienced guides, for each individual to have the best expedition possible. Encapsulating, dramatic views of snow-capped peaks, quaint villages, and diverse landscapes on the way to base camp, surely take the breath away from those who choose to climb Mera Peak. Offering the tallest permitted viewpoint from the summit of a trekking peak, it is no secret why those who partake in this expedition would consider Mera Peak one of the most beautiful, thrilling peak climbs of the Himalayas. The hidden, natural beauty of Mera Peak is certainly worthy of the challenge.

Useful Information
Supplementary time
The flight from Kathmandu to Lukla significantly reduces the journey time compared to the trek via Jiri (which we also offer). The flight is the shortest and most popular way of gaining access to the region but the mountain weather is notoriously unpredictable and sometimes even during the best part of the season, flights are delayed or postponed for one or more days. We can also arrange for a Helicopter charter from Kathmandu to Lukla instead but this adds significant extra cost. We highly recommend that you take potential delays into account and allow for an extra day in Kathmandu. You can use your extra time here in Nepal by doing many exciting activities like rafting, jungle safari, Bunje jumping, Mountain flights or simply enjoy the bustling streets of Kathmandu.
