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.

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.
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.
