You do not require technical mountaineering experience for Mera Peak climbing as long as you are fit and strong enough to walk for several hours for several days on varied terrains. You may need to hold the ropes, use ice pick, harness and ice boot on the slopes during the climb. Although the trekking section up to the base camp of Mera Peak is comparatively harder than that of Island Peak, the actual climb is easier with regards to several aspects. We recommend enthusiastic beginners in climbing or experienced trekkers looking for something more than just trekking in the Himalayas to attempt climbing Mera Peak. You will be dealing with high altitude, so it is advisable to be well prepared with the heights. Himalayan Glacier will send you instructions and guidelines before you arrive in Nepal for your climb. Depending on your knowledge and experience, we will also set aside a day or two at the base camp for pre-climb training including climbing techniques and the proper use of climbing equipment.
