Trekking Mart's 19 days Mera Peak Climbing is the perfect way to experience the alpine environment and Nepalese Himalaya glaciers. Mera Peak (6,654m) is the highest among the trekking peaks in Nepal. So, we don't need the special mountain climbing permit for it. Mera is one among the challenging climbing peaks in Nepal, but the scintillating view of Mt. Everest (8,848m) and the Khumbu valley worth your efforts. From the peak, one can see five of the world-leading mountains including Mt. Everest (8,848m), Kanchenjunga (8,586m), Makalu (8,481m), Lhotse (8,516m) and Cho-Oyu (8,201m). The trail to Mera Peak will take you through some beautiful mountain valleys as the path turns upward to the peak. It is a challenging hike although the slope is never above 40 degrees. Altitude can be a problem, but the trek is taken slowly in order to allow your body acclimatizes to the high elevation. While planning for this high altitude trekking, it is advisable to be in good physical condition. For most, Mera is a lifetime adventure with an excellent experience of stepping into the end of the world.

Day 12: Trek From Mera La To High Camp (5,780m) — Today we head to Mera high camp (5,780m). It is short but steep up, so we make it slowly in order to be safe with acute mountain sickness (AMS). High camp is nestled behind a large rocky outcrop. By lunch time, we complete the journey.

Day 13: Summit Mera Peak (6,654m), Trek To Khare — This is the biggest day of our entire trip as we are going to summit Mera today. We start early in the morning and continue up the glacier and onto the peculiar ridge. The first striking sunrays over the peaks seem unbelievable. Just behind the summit, the slope steepens and at this section we may have to fix rope depending on the conditions. From the peak, our challenging effort rewards the eye appealing view of spectacular Mt. Everest (8,848m) and Lhotse (8,516m) to the north, Cho Oyu (8,210m) to the northwest and Kanchenjunga (8,586m) and Makalu (8,481m) to the east. Descending, we retrace our steps back to Mera La for lunch and onwards to Khare for an overnight stay.
