Mera Peak (6476 m) is Nepal's most popular and highest trekking peak, which 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 true mountaineering. Passing some crevasses to maneuver around, the route can be long and demanding with the snowfall.
Taking a thrilling Lukla flight, the route will enter the isolated Hinku valley of Makalu Barun National Park enjoying the less trodden route to the Mera peak. Standing to the south of Mt. Everest, Mera Peak provides the 360-degree panorama of the listed world's highest mountains over 8000m: Everest(8848m), Kanchenjunga(8586m), Lhotse(8501m), Makalu(8463m), and Cho Oyu(8201m).
Our Mera Peak itinerary allows sufficient time for proper acclimatization making a comfortable ascent of this physically challenging climb. Even the first timers could summit the peak following the instructions given by our experienced climbing Sherpas. The best time is categorized as spring (March, April, and May); and autumn (September, October, and November).

Walking in higher altitudes is more physically demanding than walking in the lower altitudes, however, if we are in excellent health with average physical fitness, have a positive attitude, self-confidence, and strong determination, we can accomplish the trek successfully. Exercising and jogging regularly for some weeks prior to the trip is a good idea to enhance our strength and stability. Past hiking experience would be an asset but no technical skill is required for this trip. It is important that we consult with our doctor before we decide and set up for the Everest Base camp trek. Participants with pre-existing medical conditions such as heart, lung, and blood diseases should inform Treks Planner Nepal before booking the trek.
