Trip costMera Peak (6461m) is the highest trekking peak in Nepal and lies south of Everest. Mera Peak summit would probably be the finest viewpoint in Nepal as it offers a panoramic view of five 8000m peaks - Kangchenjunga, Makalu, Lhotse, Everest, and Cho Oyu. We approach the mountain through an easy-paced route which gives us enough time to acclimatise. We fly to Phaplu and then trek through small villages to cross the Pangkongma La (3174m) pass and enter the forested & uninhabited Hinku valley. This region offers pure wilderness with many glacial lakes and spectacular peaks including 7000m mountains like Baruntse & Chamlang. We stay in tea-houses till Khare & will have tents at Base Camp & High Camp. The climb is straightforward and not technically difficult. Acclimatising to high altitude is the key to success on this trip. The itinerary is well thought out & offers enough time for acclimatization at different stages. This climb is a great option for someone who is looking at scaling a first Himalayan summit.
This trip is a new version of the Mera Peak expedition being offered from 2025 onwards where we take the helicopter to Khote (3550m) on the way up and from Khare on the descent so that we can complete the climb under 2 weeks!

What to expect
A moderate climbing expedition to a peak above 6000m. These climbs generally have a short approach march and a challenging summit day which is attempted from a base camp or an advance base camp. The climb will require basic climbing skills and would involve being roped up on glacial terrain and climbing with mountaineering boots and crampons in excess of 10hours on the summit night. Some climbs even require you to climb on fixed ropes with an ascender on steep terrain. The level of difficulty both physically and technically is a notch above a trekking peak.
