Situated on the edge of famous Khumbu Region and dominated by Mt. Everest, climbing Mera peak is an opportunity to all the adventure seekers who are physically fit. Lifting the eyes from Mera and keep on lifting them until, above the clouds, the mighty frieze of the world's 8000 meter Mountains- Everest, Kanchenjunga, Makalu, Lhotse, Cho-Oyu and many other peaks is an unforgettable experience. Mera Peak climbing begins following a short and exciting flight to the mountain airstrip of Lukla and after continuous trek for days through the high and lovely valleys you will get to the area of Mera. Although physically very demanding on account of the altitude, the climb on Mera Peak is not technically difficult as ascending snow slopes rarely exceed 40 degrees.

Our Mera peak itinerary has been carefully designed to allow gradual acclimatization for the climbers.

Day 13Summit Mera Peak (6,461m/21,193ft) and descend to Khare (5,045m/16,547ft) — Today is the most significant, energizing, and testing day for the Mera Pinnacle Undertaking. You'll get up promptly in the first part of the day, eat, put on your crampons and front lamp, and start your endeavor. Follow your climbing guide; despite the fact that it is a non-specialized climb, the elevation and cold will make your trip testing. At the point when you're 50–60 meters near the culmination, you should be cautious while crossing this part, as this may be an extreme stretch on the lofty blanketed inclines. Nonetheless, with the assistance of fixed ropes and jumars, you'll have the option to come to the highest point.

Day 14Contingency Day for Summit — In the Himalayas, we can't anticipate the weather pattern. Thus, there is no assurance that the weather patterns will be great on the highest point. Consequently, this day is saved as an additional day on the off chance that you can't climb the pinnacle per our agenda on the arranged day because of terrible atmospheric conditions or other bothersome circumstances, for example, becoming ill or harmed. In any case, on the off chance that the excursion goes as expected, we'll omit this additional day from the agenda.
