Trip Introduction

Mera Peak (6476 m) is the most popular and the highest trekking peak of Nepal that fascinates the spectacular views of peaks over 6000 m including the highest peak Mt. Everest (8848m) piercing the skyline. This technically straightforward Mera Peak climbing is outstanding for those who wish to experience the true mountaineering.

Taking thrilling Lukla flight, the route will enter to the isolated Hinku valley of Makalu Barun National Park enjoying the less trodden route to the Mera peak. Standing to the south of Mt.

Even the first-timers could summit the peak following the instruction is given by our experienced climbing Sherpas. The best time is categorized as spring (March, April, and May); autumn (September, October, November).
