Mera Peak Climbing takes us to the summit of Mera Peak (6,461m/21,190ft) which is the highest trekking peak in Nepal. We ascend Mera Peak preferably during the spring and autumn seasons as it’s the best time to climb the mountain 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.

In climbing section, toilet facilities will be provided with necessary natural preservation. All accommodations in Kathmandu and in teahouses are on a twin-shared basis whereas a single tent will be provided to each individual for the climbing section. We can also request for a single room in Kathmandu by paying a single supplement of USD 290. However, there are several teahouses on the trekking route that do not allow single room accommodation. On paying a single supplement, you will get a single room in Kathmandu but sometimes it is feasible only in the trekking areas of the lower elevations.

Good Climb, Good Trek, Highly recommended.
Show moreI just came back from the Mera Peak climb and it was beyond words. Firstly, in dealing with the pre-climb administration with Himalayan was incredibly easy. Any questions that I had, Vidya was there to answer them, any emails that I sent, she responded very quickly and very timely. I work overseas so communication is difficult at times but everytime I needed help or had a question, Himalayan responded very professionally. I even had dealings with their US office and Charles made things very easy, thank you for that.The trek itself was a life changing experience I live in the mountains in Canada, but being in the Himalayan Mountains was more than I could have immagined. Gadul, my guide was a pleasure to trek with. He has very good english and of course, being from the area, he was very knowlegable about the area. Gadul was very patient with me, he let me set my own pace and I never felt rushed or in danger at any time.The porters are literally Supermen, they were conscience of my bag, treated my gear as if it was their own and were easy to talk to, although their english was a little broken, they were very polite and tried to make conversation when they could.Unfortunately, I was not able to summit Mera and needed help down, Gadul, again stepped up, he made sure my safety was paramount and did everything in his power to get me to Khare in one piece.I will be back to summit Mera and will use HG again. Thank you.
