Mera Peak Climbing

Detail About Mera Peak Climbing

Mera peak climbing is an unforgettable experience in the Everest region. The journey to the summit is full of challenges and adventures but also filled with breathtaking views and a sense of accomplishment that cannot be matched. Mera peak is the highest trekking peak in Nepal, situated in the Hinku valley of the Everest region. Mera peak climbing is technically easy and recommended to beginner climbers.

Mera peak climbing is also an excellent acclimatization peak for those planning to climb Mount Everest or any of the major peaks in the Khumbu Region. The Mera peak climbing route follows an off-the-beaten-path into the rarely-visited Hinku Valley. So, the trail is less crowded. The trail is secluded, and the area is wild and pristine, with very few human settlements. Throughout the trek, you will be surrounded by stunning scenery, including soaring peaks, vast glaciers, and rugged terrain. You will pass through.

Most nights during the trekking period are spent sleeping at tea houses located in isolated Kharkas or summer camps of yak herders. This unique aspect of the Mera peak climbing provides an opportunity to immerse yourself in the local culture and experience the true essence of the Nepalese Himalayas. All in all, the 15-day Mera peak climbing itinerary is an incredible adventure that will leave you with unforgettable memories and a newfound appreciation for the beauty of the Himalayas.

Our adventure to conquer Mera peak began with a journey through the remote and rugged region of Panch Pokhari, situated in the Hinku valley until we reached Khare. In order to make the summit day more manageable and enjoyable, we strategically chose to set up our high camp at 5,780 meters (18,964 ft) on a rocky shelf positioned behind a large vertical rock that offered some degree of shelter from the elements.

The view from our Mera High Camp is absolutely breathtaking, arguably one of the best panoramic vistas of its kind. At the Mera peak summit, we will be surrounded by stunning peaks and glaciers that stretch out as far as the eye could see, creating a truly awe-inspiring atmosphere. The summit of Mera peak offers a breathtaking panorama of Everest (8,849 m/29,032 ft), Lhotse (8,516 m/27,940 ft, Kanchenjunga (8,586 m/28,169 ft), Cho Oyu (8,188 m/26,864 ft), and Makalu (8,463 m/27,766 ft).
