Overview And Highlights

Mera Peak Trek or Climb—Your Choice

What is one peak you have in mind which you want to summit during your lifetime? Everest? Or maybe K2? Wait! These are for the hard core climbers. For an amateurs out there looking for a technically less difficult climb but also able to boast their accomplishment, Mera Peak seams just the right pick for you. Arguably the best Trekking Peak in Nepal, Mera Peak 6,476 meters (21,247 ft) offers climbers thrill unlike other similar climbing peaks. It also gives the best value for your money. Although many loosely translate ‘trekking peak’ as having less technical difficulty, this is only a term given by NMA (Nepal Mountaineering Association) to associate Group ‘B’ Climbing peak.  But with the help of a professional team like ours there is no question why you couldn’t do it. The location of this peak is also what makes it special. It is in the close proximity of Everest and some other eight thousand meter mountains. It is located at Mahalangur section and the Barun Sub-section of the Himalayas.

But for those who just want to get to the Base Camp of the Mera Peak, that is an option too as you can simply for Mera Peak Trek. You don’t need to go higher up than five thousand meters if you don’t want to. Just trek till Khare (5045m) which also act like a base camp to Mera peak because there really is no Mera Peak Base Camp. You can return once you reach Khare and for others who like more adventure can go till the summit of Mera peak. It is, however, recommended for anyone who is interested to get their feet above at least one Himalayan peak, this is an opportunity not to miss. The peak like said earlier is a ‘group B’ peak with not much technical difficulty; besides, you have Sherpa guides assisting you in every step to the summit, so anyone can attempt it without lot of preparations. 

The Cost of Mere Peak Trek or Climb

Mera peak trek cost or climb cost is really not much, considering the fact that it is just like any other normal trekking route and a popular one with tourists. So rest assured, it is not going to break the bank. The cost will be just a little higher for the peak climb because of extra days and human resources like guides and Sherpa. You can consult our Trekking office for cost details and discounts.  

How to Get There

With Nepal opening its borders once again to thrill seekers after a long Covid hiatus, one can simply hop on a plane after booking the summit climb and start your journey to the summit. The rest will be taken care by our company. The best season for the summit is spring and autumn. Some have tried it in winter but again spring and fall is the right time to hit the trail.  

What are the requirements?

1. For the Mera Peak trek, the requirement is just normal which anyone can take it. You just need the ‘desire’, the rest will be taken care by our highly professional team.

2. If you are in good shape you are ready to go for any of the two adventures, either Mera Peak Trek or Mera Peak Climb. Obviously like any other sports, if you are prepared the road to your goal will be easier. So all you need to do is be a little more prepared and build your physical fitness. You can to go to gym and start building your physics and do some strength training exercises like jogging, swimming, walking.

3. Climbing fees and local taxes—the fees for the climb and other local taxes might be required but this will be all taken care by your company beforehand. So the Mere Peak Trek cost will be normal with just a little more added in climbing fees if you looking to summit it.  

4. Medical certificates—though Nepal Government relaxed many tough rules unlike the early days of pandemic, it will be good to have papers that say you have been vaccinated or proof that you don’t need it otherwise.

5. Mental fitness—you might be hundred percent fit physically but if you are not mentally prepared and don’t have the right knowledge about the whole undertaking your will not have a good experience of the climb. So we will give you all the details of the trek or the climb once you decide to take any one of the journeys. Above all, enjoy your journey with the right attitude because the whole thing is about exploring and having a good time. 

Routes to the summit (if you are climbing)

There are several routes to the summit and this again is up to you and your company to decide which one to take. Normally people take the northern route which requires some serious walking on glaciers but less strenuous while southern and the western face of the mountain is technically more difficult to climb but for a seasoned climber this should not pose any problem. All routes normally require around 17/21 days to complete, of which maximum is set for trekking and walking to the base camp from Lukla (2800m) with only a couple of days of serious mountain climbing during the final push to the summit.

Manthali (Ramechhap Airport) to Lukla Flight: In busy times like March, April, May, October, and November, flights to Lukla leave from Ramechhap/Manthali instead of Kathmandu due to heavy air traffic.
We leave early in the morning, around 2 AM, from Kathmandu to Ramechhap, which takes about 4 - 5 hours by car or by shuttle bus. Then, we catch a flight to Lukla. These months are busy for trekking, so there's a lot of air traffic. That's why the flight departs from another airport called Ramechhap.

This day also is like heading to the base camp of Mera Peak--that is to Khare, only we don’t use the word base camp here. The trail gets distinctively rocky as we head towards higher elevation and see less meadows and grassy patches. Passing further along the barren rocky route which will take us to a place called Dig Kharka, we will finally reach Khare after traversing moraine route to our camping site. Stay overnight there for our ultimate goal in the next two days but if you are just undertaking Mera Peak Trek, return the next day.

 Trail to the Mera High Camp gets tougher as we first have to climb and reach Mera La (5,415m) and getting there is a test in itself.

Once you reach Mera High Camp and taking a rest, our climbing team will explain and teach you about ice climbing and other skills necessary for your final push to the summit.

A big day indeed for many of us as we will be finally putting our foot on the summit of Mera Peak on this day, but not until you finish climbing a steep ascend. But you need not worry as the Sherpas would have already fixed ropes along some difficult parts of the trail.  Then climbing further but with less technical ascend, we will finally reach summit of Mera peak. You will be rewarded with the spectacular view of Everest (8,848m), Lhotse (8,414m), Makalu (8,463m), Cho Oyu (8,188m) from the summit. We then return to Khare by first descending down to Mera High Camp and then to Khare where we will stay overnight.

Now the vegetation is thicker with pine forests with occasional rhododendrons sights. But since the route will yet again pass through some high altitude you will have to negotiate a steep ascend and reach Thule Kharka. With some ascend and descents along the way the trail is definitely more leisurely now. After finally reaching Thule Kharka we will once again stay overnight there.

But first you need to go through Zatrwa La (4,610m) by taking a steep ascend and further down through descending trail you finally reach Lukla where we take a rest to catch a flight back to Kathmandu the next day.
