Mera Peak is known to be the highest ‘trekking peak’ in Nepal and at an altitude that it stands, oxygen content in the atmosphere is considerably low. We suggest you not to target Mera Peak as you first high-altitude trek before attempting a lower peak to understand your body’s response to the elevations. Unless you have climbed any mountain peak of 4,000m (13,123ft.) and above without facing any problems, you should probably pause your Mera Peak climbing plans. Whereas, if you have already done a high-altitude trek in the past and managed it all well, then it is time for you to take on Mera Peak. Climbing Mera Peak is a tough challenge as you will be at or above 5,000m (16,404ft.) for 4 days. If you do not acclimatize well at this height, it could easily prompt altitude sickness. Although no technical skills are needed to climb Mera, the test is about stamina and endurance. Other dangers on this climb are the possibilities of extreme weather conditions.
