MERA PEAK CLIMBING

Mera Peak is one of the highest and most adventurous trekking peaks in Nepal. Rising south of Mt. Everest, the ascent of Mera is generally technically straightforward, requiring little more than crampons and an ice axe. However, it is 100% safe to climb and any mountaineers and people with no climbing experience can do it.

After flying from Kathmandu to Lukla, our trek will begin by heading southeast from Lukla. We walk along a high, rocky ridge through dense forests and cross several streams before reaching the high pass that takes us into the remote and largely uninhabited Honku Valley. Trekking in this wild land of Himalayan pine forests is indeed a lifetime experience. At Tangnag, we take a rest and explore the huge moraine and the beautiful glacial lake north of the village. The next day, we gently proceed to Khare and set up camp. Our ascent follows the glacier that leads to Mera La (5,415 m) and on to high camp, where we prepare for our early morning summit. From high camp, we can take in a sweeping view of Mt. Kanchenjunga, Mt. Makalu to the east, Mt. Everest and Mt. Lhotse to the north, and Mt. Amadablam and Mt. Cho-Oyu to the west. This view is undoubtedly one of the most mesmerizing all in Nepal. As we make our way back down the valley to Lukla for our flight to Kathmandu, our Mera Peak climbing has completed. The trekking trail will pass through several ethnic villages of the Everest region, where we can come across the local people and get to know more about them and their local culture and traditions.

The best times to attempt Mera Peak are spring (March-May) and autumn season (September-November). The weather conditions are best at these times. For more information, contact us at info@fairsteptrekking.com
