Mera Peak Climbing (6,461m/ 21,190 ft) is popular as the highest peak climbing adventure in Nepal which is located in Khumbu (Everest) region which is the most popular trekking region in Nepal too. An expedition to Mera Peak climbing in Nepal is an exciting and awe-inspiring adventure once-for –a lifetime. The adventure seekers’ first choice is always Mera Peak Summit but they must be physically fit. However,  from the summit of Mera Peak, one can celebrate the most stupendous view of mighty snow-fed summits above 8000 meters including the world's highest mountain, Mt.Everest, KanchenjungaMakalu, Lhotse, Cho-Oyu, and numerous another dramatic mountain panorama which is an unforgettable experience during you're Mera Peak Climbing.

As with other trekking trips in the Khumbu region,  we begin Mera Peak climbing also from Lukla after a short and scenic flight from Kathmandu. From Lukla,  we start ascending to Namche Bazar which is a tourist and trade hub in the Khumbu region. After we explore Namche Bazar with a day for acclimatization, we, tan, trek to Tengboche, and after a few days of experiencing the majesty Khumbu region, you will get closer to Mera Peak. Although this climbing is physically demanding, relatively it is not technically difficult to accomplish as ascending snow slopes rarely exceed 40 degrees.

An extrovert sense of adventure and sound physical fitness are two inevitable qualifications of climbers while scaling Mera Peak. Climbing Without gradual and proper acclimatization, it is very difficult to scale Mera Peak. Thus, we have designed the itinerary and the arrangement of this adventure climbing technically to suit the stamina of the adventure enthusiasts ensuring complete safety. Before climbing Mera Peak, we enjoy the walk via the deep and unspoiled forest of Hinku Valley which itself will be an amazing experience and also an excellent opportunity for acclimatization for the climb.

We ensure you’re the safest you're trip in a lifetime adventure as we always employ a well-equipped expedition team including the team leader during the climb. There are three different Mera Peaks such as North Mera Peak (6476m), Central Mera Peak Summit (6461m.), and South Mera Peak Summit (6064m.). Among them, we operate the expedition on Mera peak climbing Central peak climbing in Nepal.

As this adventurous trekking is based on Sagarmatha National Park and Khumbu region, the most popular trekking trails, and the experience of cultural heritage, flora and faunas, and the most astoundingly stunning view of the world's tallest Mountain View including Mt. Everest, the top of the world is the also other major highlights of this expedition. And finally, this adventure wraps up in Lukla and you fly back to Kathmandu.

How is the climbing Day? Do we start early in the morning?

Obviously, the climbing day is the most significant day in dis adventure trip. We have to be both physically and mentally committed and equipped to scale dis peak. We begin our trip early in the morning at around 3 because we have to face a strong blow of wind if we do not move earlier. We have to work hard for more than 8- 9 hours. If we follow dis time schedule, we scale the summit at 9 and get back to Base Camp to have lunch. dis scale is incredibly amazing and memorable.

We say ‘Yes’. We get hot showers all around the trip. dis also costs extra money. dis may vary from 2-7 dollars. But, we don’t allow you to take a shower at the base camp because of a probable crisis in the high altitude regarding health. Rather, we provide you with a big bowl of hot water for you're cleaning.

In order to avoid the slow pace of the climber, the leader will frequently counsel to walk together because problems can be solved easily in a team. If such a situation occurs, the leader will take care of those who walk slowly and his assistants will take care of the others to make the trip less strenuous.

What about a drinking water facility?

We are environmentally aware and our team is as well. We don’t allow our clients to use plastic bottles for carrying water in the mountain. Rather, we request you to bring a Nalgene metal water bottle that you can fill wif boiled water.
