Mera Peak, located approximately 6476 meters above sea level on the northern part of Lukla, is an exciting and one of Nepal’s most technically challenging peaks. It is located nearby the Khumbu region, making it one of the most popular climbing peaks in the world. Located on the southern side of Everest, this trail is the highest trekking peak in Nepal, and it can get complex, so it will undoubtedly be an exciting and challenging journey. Both the western and south routes offer challenging climbing in a mountaineering environment.

During the 17 days of our trip, we will explore the off-beaten paths of the Hinku valley. We will stay mostly in guesthouses during our stay and have specific days set aside for proper rest and acclimatizing to higher elevations. There are some of the tallest 8000 peaks on this trail, such as Everest, Makalu, and Lhotse. Other impressive mountains include Ama Dablam and Cho Oyu. The best time to join this trek is in the spring and autumn.

Overview

Mera Peak Climbing is not a technically demanding journey, but good health is still required for this course. You will be trekking for longer, so climbers must be very strong and have the stamina to overcome the challenges. Hence, prior climbing experience is not a prerequisite; however, we would advise some physical preparation before the expedition. We will provide you with short pre-climbing training while on the expedition.

Let us prepare the best arrangements for your incoming journey as we bring you closer to the mountains of the Earth with this physically challenging and exciting adventure. Join the Pokhara Info Team for your climbing adventure to Mera Peak.

Mera peak climbing is a true treat for those keen on embarking on an amazing mountaineering/climbing journey!

Mera Peak Itinerary

We visit the World Heritage Sites in the Kathmandu Valley, including Kathmandu Durbar Square, Swayambhunath Temple, Boudhanath Stupa, and Pasupatinath Temple. We stay at a hotel and have breakfast each morning.

Early in the morning, we head to the airport for our flight to Lukla. The flight itself is breathtaking, flying above a green landscape and the White Mountains. Our guide will introduce our porters and brief you on our trek to the Chutok La Pass (2945).

Leaving Chutenga, we ascend steeply to cross Zatrawala Pass (4610m) and proceed to Zatrabok (4704), where we enjoy the spectacular views of Numbur Himal, Kongdi Ri, Karyolang peak, and others. From there, we descend to Khartitang (3900m).

As we travel to Kothe today, we descend through juniper and rhododendron forests on a steep trail. We stay at a Guesthouse with breakfast, lunch, and dinner included.

After lunch, we drive towards Tangnang (4350m), passing through the Hinku valley (Sabal Tsho-Lake). The trail gradually ascends, offering a picture-perfect view of Kusum Kanguru. Overnight stay in a Guesthouse with breakfast, lunch and dinner included.

This day is set aside for acclimatization. We rest at Tangnang. We walk around the valley and find out about the culture. We enjoy the stunning views of peaks and glaciers. We stay at a Guesthouse for the night. Meals include breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

As we climb along the glacier's lateral moraine, we are provided with an interesting view of Mera Peak. We stay overnight at a Guesthouse and have breakfast, lunch, and dinner included.

Khare is our next rest day. We are preparing for the climb of Mera peak the following day. We spend the night at the Guesthouse, which includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

As we continue on the icy glacier, we approach the pass. We spend the night in a tented camp, and breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included.

Our hike today will take us to the high camp. From here, we will be able to admire the stunning panoramas of giant mountains above 7000 meters, such as Chamlang (7290m), Makalu (8475m) and Baruntse (7220m) in the east, Everest (8848m), Lhotse (8501m) and Nuptse in the north, and Ama Dablam, Cho Oyo (8153m) in the south and Kantega to the west.

Crew members wake up at around 1:30 to prepare for the day. Climbers need to get up at 2.30 for breakfast and put on their crampons and rope. We then begin the climb to the summit. The ascent to the summit of Mera takes about 4-6 hours. From the summit, one can see stunning views of Mt. Everest (8,848m), Nuptse (7,855m), Chamlang (7,319m), Makalu (8,463m), Kanchenjunga (8,586m), Cho-Oyu (8,210m), Lhotse (8,516m), Baruntse (7,129m), and Ama Dablam (6,812m). After returning to high camp and having some soup and tea, we proceed down to Khare for the night. We stay at a Guesthouse for the night with breakfast, lunch, and dinner included.

This day is only used in case the weather is inclement on the planned summit day (12), so we won't be able to summit Mera Peak on day 12 or for any other reason. If the weather turns unfavorable, we should put off scaling the peak. You or your group members may experience difficulties acclimatizing, so we may use this spare day if necessary. If the trip goes smoothly, we will not need this day.

As we depart the mountains, we descend to Tangnang before continuing on towards Khothey. We spend the night at a guesthouse, which includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

The trail back to Zatrabok offers spectacular views of alpine vegetation, including a rhododendron forest. Dinner, breakfast, and overnight stay at the Guesthouse.

We depart from Chutenga today. We ascend to the Zatrawala Pass before descending to Chutenga. Overnight stay in a guesthouse, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

As we descend the mountain, we will see forests of fir, rhododendrons, oaks, juniper, and local vegetation. We will also see Number Himal, Kongdi Ri, and Karyolang Peak. We will fly back to Kathmandu later this evening. The next day is free for you to explore or rest in Kathmandu, depending on your inclination.
