Trek to the Khumbu region of Nepal, climb Mera Peak and admire incredible views of the mountain vista

Mera Peak Climbing takes us to the summit of Mera Peak (6,461m/21,190ft) which is the highest trekking peak in Nepal. The best time to climb Mera Peak is during the spring and autumn seasons as it’s the best time for its astonishing views of the Himalayan Vista. Five 8,000m peaks are visible from the summit including Everest, Lhotse, Cho Oyu, Makalu, and Kanchenjunga.

Himalayan Glacier organized its first climbing trip to Mera Peak in 1992. Our Mera Peak Itinerary is carefully designed with steady ascent and a separate day set aside in Khare to allow plenty of time for acclimatization. The usual route to Mera Peak is directly via the Zatra La Pass, but we follow the route that heads south from Lukla and up the beautiful Hinku Valley and later return via Zatra La pass. Following this route has a few advantages. We not only pass through the beautiful Nepalese wilderness but also through quaint villages which will give us a glimpse into the rich culture of the locals. Additionally, since the route is longer, it’s better for acclimatization.

Mera Peak climbing is an excellent option for anyone with moderate mountaineering experience. It is a challenging trekking peak due to its elevation, but the technical mountaineering skills requirement is very basic. Besides, Himalayan Glacier’s seasoned Sherpa guide will provide us with a basic mountaineering training before the actual summit.

Meals

During our Mera Peak climbing trip, we will have the opportunity to savor a variety of cuisines, including Nepalese, Tibetan, Indian, and continental fare. Our hotel in Kathmandu will provide a buffet-style breakfast, while all meals - including breakfast, lunch, and dinner - will be served during the trekking and climbing sections. We can also look forward to special welcome and farewell dinners, which are sure to be delightful culinary experiences.

Accommodation

During our trip, we will be staying at Yatri Suites & Spa or similar accommodations in Kathmandu, standard teahouses during the trek, and tents during the climbing section. All of these are included in the cost of the trip. Most teahouse accommodations will only have shared toilet facilities, while foam mattresses will be provided for tent accommodation. Toilet facilities will be provided with necessary natural preservation during the climbing section. All accommodations in Kathmandu and teahouses will be on a twin-shared basis, but each individual will be provided with a single tent during the climbing section. If you prefer a single room in Kathmandu, you can request one by paying a single supplement of USD 290. Please note, however, that there are several teahouses on the trekking route that do not allow single room accommodation. While paying a single supplement guarantees a single room in Kathmandu, it may not always be feasible in the trekking areas at higher elevations.

FAQs

Mera Peak is known to be one of the highest climbing peaks of Nepal. It is not a difficult climb at an extreme altitude of 6,461m (21,190ft.) except for the final summit of 100m/328ft. with a steep that needs to be climbed vertically. Mera Peak climbing is a great introduction to high altitude climbing and the most appropriate practice climb before attempting for other challenging mountain expeditions. Getting to the base camp of Mera Peak all the way from Lukla on a regular trekking trail is, in fact the hard part. It is on the trekking segment where you must be ready to deal with tiresome days of hiking for several days and keeping yourself in a good shape and tackle with altitude sickness as well. The climbing section is easy and safe because of the fixed lines, so we highly recommend this climb even for a beginner who wants to climb an ice-peak. It is always wise to consult with experts like Himalayan Glacier before planning your trip emotionally. We will guide you and help you with all the requirements including physical fitness and exercises right from day one.
It is possible to climb Mera Peak all through the year although summer time is not recommended as it is also the monsoon period. However, spring and fall seasons are considered to be the best and most suitable time of the year for any climbing journey in the Himalayas. September through November is the fall season, also called autumn, and the temperatures are moderate and weather tends to be very clear. March through early June is the spring season and also the busiest climbing season of the year in Nepal. Mera Peak can also be attempted during the winter, but the extreme cold around this time could be hazardous for climbers who are not experienced enough to tackle the altitude as well as the biting cold.
Absolutely yes! Under normal circumstances, our booked trips are guaranteed to run. You will still be doing your trek even if other trekkers cancel their trip. This is the reason why Himalayan Glacier is different from other agencies, who usually cancel their whole trip a month or even a week before the trip date. We are a tailor-made company and the number of participants does not stop our operation. If your trip has been canceled by your operator and you are in a last-minute stress, remember to find us to sort out your trip decisions. Please feel free to book your stress-free holidays with us. Unless there is a situation which is out of control such as a political riot, natural disaster, pandemic, epidemic or weather catastrophes, our trips are 100% guaranteed to run.
Himalayan Glacier offers a lifetime deposit policy which allows you the flexibility to transfer your deposit to anyone or any other trip. If you wish to cancel your booked trips, certain cancelation charges apply. Please visit our booking terms and conditions for detailed information.
You will be climbing along with other like-minded people unless you book for a private tour or we do not have a group on your preferred date. You will be guided by Himalayan Glacier’s experienced and knowledgeable local climbing instructors or Sherpa climbing leaders who have been to the top of the peak successfully multiple times. Some climbing leaders have also summited Mt. Everest at least once or few times in their climbing career. Your guide will provide you with important tips and teach you the tricks while assisting you from day one. He will also provide you with pre-climbing training the day before summit at the base camp. Lot of cheap operators do not take this climbing trip seriously thereby risking your health or well-being, so be very prudent when you choose your climbing operator.
Although Mera Peak is known to be a ‘trekking peak’, it requires some mountaineering skills and equipment as the final lap includes some climbing. The right types of equipment and gears play a crucial role to successfully attempt the Mera Peak climb. We recommend the following gears and kits for Mera Peak climb:
  • Waterproof Duffel Bag (Provided by Himalayan Glacier)
  • 40L Back pack (daypack)
  • Shirts and t-shirts
  • Set of thermals (tops & bottoms)
  • Fleece Jacket
  • Shell Rain Jacket
  • Down Jacket
  • Lightweight hiking trousers
  • Waterproof/Windproof pants
  • Socks
  • Buff
  • Sun hat & sun glasses
  • Gloves & Mittens
  • Hiking boots
  • Mountain climbing boots
  • Flip flops and slippers
  • Sleeping bag
  • Water bottles
  • Sun cream & lip balm
  • Gaiters
  • Personal toiletries
  • Trekking pole
  • Scarf & warm hat
  • Besides the regular items that you would pack for a typical trekking trip in Nepal, read more for other essential peak climbing equipment and familiarize yourself with the kits you will be carrying along for the trip.
