Mera Peak Climbing is a fascinating Himalayan experience to the highest trekking peaks in Nepal. It is physically demanding snow trek with straightforward climbing. Mera Peak is suitable for every experienced trekkers wishing for expedition style camping trek and climbing trips in Nepal.
Our Mera Peak Expedition itinerary has been customized to allow gradual ascend to ensure proper acclimatization. Mera peak trek and climbing route goes through the beaten-off trail, into the wild and untouched part of Khumbu region, as such you should be prepared for an adventure of a lifetime. We avoid the usual route and head south from Lukla high up to Hinku valley and later return via Zatra La Pass. Trekking via this route allows us to get close perspective to local life and helps us with better acclimatization.
As we reach the glacier area, we set our camp and here your climbing leader will demonstrate the way of using climbing gears: ice axe, crampons and rope. We strongly believe that pre-climbing training will boost your confidence and enhance your strength to complete the expedition successfully.
