Mera Peak is the highest trekking peak in Nepal. Soaring at 6,476m, it is a very high mountain but demands little or no technical skills to conquer via normal route. The peak is located to the east of Khumbu region (Everest BC area) and is very less frequented trail. Mera Peak consists three summits: Mera North (6,476m), Mera Central (6,461m) and Mera South (6,065m). The Mera north peak (which we summit) was first conquered by French team Marcle Jolly, G. Baus and L. Honills in 1975.
Mera Peak Climbing Itinerary has been scheduled in such a way that allows a gradual ascend and ensures proper acclimatization. As we cross Mera La and start a glacial climb, your body will be well-acclimatized. The trek goes through off beat path and explores rarely visited part of the Khumbu region – be prepared for an adventure of your lifetime. Once the lukla is passed, you will enjoy lush green forest of the lower Khumbu region before crossing high passes and rising up to more spare and rocky upper reaches. As we approach the Northern ridge of the peak, we walk across steep glaciers that feeds a stunning lake behind huge ridges of glacial moraine.
The Mera Peak brings a fairly taxing physical challenge. We recommend you to involve in physical fitness programs at least six weeks prior the trek and one that enhances your strength and endurance capacity. A regular hiking trip to the nearby hill is the best training.
Summit Day
Mera Peak summit starts very early in the morning and we climb via a northern route which is easier and safer route. The trip involves a gradual climb along a giant snow terrace and crevassed glacier. The summit of Mera Peak features dramatic view of Everest (8,848m), Cho Oyu (8,210m), Lhotse (8,516m), Makalu (8,463m), Kanchenjunga (8,586m), Nuptse (7,855m) and Chamlang (7,319m).
