Mera Peak Climbing

After you land at Tribhuvan International Airport, our team members will await you at the airport entrance. They will drive you to the hotel and take care of check-in processing. You can take a rest or tour the city for a while. You can also go shopping for necessary trekking gear.

The next day, you can prepare for the trek, and you will meet your guide. You can discuss the trek itinerary and trek briefing with your guide. Then start packing without missing any trekking equipment and other belongings.

Your trek will officially start today. We will take a flight to Lukla from Tribhuvan International Airport. You can enjoy the magnificent snow-capped mountains and landscapes from the flight.

After reaching Lukla, we will meet our Sherpa porter and officially begin trekking. Our first destination is Chhutang. To reach Chhutang, we will head eastward to the thick forest on the hillsides below the Kalo Himal Ridge.

While heading to Chuttang, there are several routes on the way. Stay close with us to avoid getting lost in the abundant routes. We will care for you throughout the journey and ensure you won’t get lost.

The next day, we will head to Tuli Kharka, leaving Chhutang. The trail gradually ascends in the beginning and steepens afterward. We will cross the Zatrawala Pass at an altitude of 4600m. You can enjoy the sights of Numbur Himal, Kongde Ri, and Karyolang Peak from this pass, including other peaks.

After crossing this pass, we will walk for about two hours on a plain trail. Then, the descending trail starts leading to Tuli Kharka. After nearly 6 hours of trek we will reach Tuli Kharka, the final place for the day.

The next day, after having breakfast we will leave Tuli Kharka, heading towards Kothe. The route to Kothe is a mixture of uphills and downhills, taking us through the dense forests covered with Rhododendron, Oak, Pine, and Juniper trees.

Along the trail, you can also enjoy the sight of Mera Peak and other peaks. After a while, we must cross a steep descent leading to Hinku River. Then, finally, after an uphill climb, we will reach Kothe and stay here tonight.

Kothe lies to the west of Hinku. Kothe is a serene place with unique wilderness and lush vegetation that makes us feel good.

The next morning, we will leave Kothe, heading to Thangnak. We will continue our trek, walking along the ridge of the Hinku River towards Gondishung. We will then pass through an ancient Lungshumgpa Gompa built about 200 years ago.

We will also witness the Mera Peak route scripted in rock, defining stone architecture’s beauty. Then, ahead of us, we will find a comparatively easy route that leads to the Thangnak, with many shops and tea houses. We will stay in one of the teahouses and rest.

The next day, we will head to Khare. We will walk over the lateral moraine that leads to Hinku Nup and Shar Glaciers. This trek is difficult as the route to Khare is about steep climbs. Today, we will reach an altitude of 5000m after a 3-hour trek.

From Khare, you can witness the view of the north face of Mera Peak. After reaching Khare, we will rest for the day.

After reaching an altitude of 5000 m, your body needs time to adapt to the higher altitude atmosphere. So, we will acclimatize on this day. We will be exploring the nearby places of Khare while acclimatizing.

The next day, we will be heading to Mera Base Camp. So, while preparing for the next day, our sherpa team will finalize the trekking gear, such as ropes, ice axes, crampons, harnesses and others.

The next day, we will be heading to Mera Base Camp. This is a short trek but requires technical climbing in some parts. First, we will ascend gradually over the Mera Glacier. Then, the steep climb towards the top of the glacier begins.

After that, we will pass along the glacier and reach the final destination of the day, Mera Base Camp. Our porter will set up our tent. We will rest in the camp for tonight. It may be hard to adjust and be comfortable in a tent. But it will be easier with us.

We will head to Mera High Camp the next day, leaving Mera Base Camp behind. We will walk along the trail that passes through Mera La Pass. Then, our journey continues on the rocky, snow-covered trail leading to Mera High Camp.

After setting up the tent, we will check your health and prepare the climbing gear for the next day. From the high camp, you can enjoy the heavenly view of Mount Everest, Makalu, Nuptse, Cho Oyu, Baruntse, and Chamlang.

Today is the most important day of the trek. We will be closing to the summit of Mera Peak today. We will leave high camp early at around 2 am to avoid the strong winds of the summit at noon.

Being properly equipped, we will head towards the summit. We will climb glaciers and walk through the ridge to reach Mera Peak summit. You can cherish the view of peaks above 8000 m along the trail.

We will stay some time at the summit and head back to Khare. Tracing the same path we crossed in the morning, we will descend from the summit. Bidding farewell to the top of the highest peak of Nepal, we will go to Khare and spend our night.

We will keep an extra day as a leisure to reach the summit. Mera Peak is over an altitude of 6000 m. Weather is never constant at such a high altitude. So, we may be unable to complete the summit climb in just one day.

Our main goal is to take you to the summit. So, we will let this day be leisure. If the summit climb is successful in the first attempt, we will be heading back today.

We will leave Khare and head back to Kothe after having breakfast. Retracing the steps we passed earlier to climb, we will pass through Thangnak and then head to Kothe. We will be leaving high altitude and descending to the lower altitude.

The next day, we will be heading to Tuli Kahrka. Climbing uphill through the dense rhododendron forest, we will be heading to the western section of Hinku Valley. After 5 to 6 hours of trek, we will reach Tuli Kharka from where you can view Mera north, mera central and south faces of Mera Peak.

Today is the last day of trekking. First, we will ascend to the Zatrawala Pass, and after reaching the top of this pass, we will descend to Lukla. Cherish every moment in the heart of the Himalayas because tomorrow, we will fly back to the capital city, Kathmandu.

The next day, we will bid farewell to our porters the next morning and take a flight back to Kathmandu. After 35 to 40 minutes of flight, we will reach Kathmandu, where our team will be waiting for us. Then we will drive back to our hotel.

Our team members will drive you to the airport for your final departure the next day. Hoping we will meet again soon our team members will bid you farewell. Wish you a safe journey back to your home country.
