Description

In Mera Peak Climbing you will climb one of the highest peaks in Nepal , with boasting a height of 6476 metres but requires little or no technical climbing, perfect for those with limited experience. It is situated east of the main Khumbu and our guided trip is 20 days which includes flexibility for several days to attempt the summit. We trek in small teams or around 4-5 people with moderate climbing or hiking experience trying to locate a snowy summit. Typically, participants have done some climbing before and learnt some basic techniques but have yet to test themselves at a high altitude. We can also accommodate solo travellers and private climbs.  

We trek as a group with a team of porters that will hike ahead of us and meet us at each stop. We stay in a mixture of tea houses and lodges before taking to camping further up the trail on the next mountain whilst trying to keep the hike comfortable as possible.Trekking peaks gives mountain lovers the true mountaineering experience. As The highest peak, Mera Peak has been one of the most popular trekking peaks in the Everest Region. A previous trekking experience is recommended but not mandatory. Amateur mountaineers with great stamina and physical fitness along with good acclimatization have successfully climbed Mera Peak. Mera Peak has three summits: Mera Peak North, South, and Central. The central Mera Peak (6476m) would be our main summit due to its location, as it gives the spectacular view of the world’s beautiful mountain peaks like Cho Yo, Amadablam, Mount Everest, Kangtega Nuptse, and Baruntse. The route is also not as technically demanding as other summits.

The journey to Mera Peak (6470m) begins from Lukla and heads toward the Everest climbing region. It traverses through the pine and rhododendron forest, high yak pastures and glacial lakes. The trekking itinerary has been designed to promote proper acclimatization. If the weather permits, the extra days can be used for relaxing after the trekking. But planning for enough days is necessary for your safety and success of the trip. Our years of experience in the field of mountaineering is certainly going to help you to reach your goals. Himalayan Circuit Team will be assisting you through all the logistics to make your Mera Peak Expedition a grand success. Get prepared for your steps towards mountaineering expedition.

As with most of our Khumbu treks, the road to Mera Peak starts at Lukla. After arriving at Lukla’s tiny airstrip (it looks even smaller when you realise that’s where you have to land), we’ll meet the rest of our Kandoo team and hit the trail south.

We descend first to Surke to cross the river, then a steep rise to Chutok La. The rest of the way to Paiya is flat but undulating terrain, and a good end to our first day of trekking which will take around 4 hours of hiking.
