Mera Peak climbing highlights:

Just above Khare, the climbing started. we put on crampons, harnesses, and ice axes and make our way over the glacier to Mera La Camp. Climb higher to the spectacular view of Mera High camp. Perched on a rocky outcrop just beside the glacier we should arrive here in time to see the spectacular sunset over the rest of the mountains.

The final summit day is a tough grind up the glacier. We followed by a short sharp scramble up an ice wall using crampons and ice axes. Our Sherpa guide will put in a fixed rope for your safety so it would be safe.

This trail takes you through pristine bamboo and rhododendron jungle in the gorge. we will stop at Khoten villages for acclimatization.

From Khote, the climbing route heads north to Khare for another day of acclimatizing. This day is essential we used to practice glacier traverse techniques with Sherpa’s guide.

Mera Peak info

Best time to climb Mera Peak?

To climb Mera peak safely, you need stable weather. It should be a dry and clear sky. Even if it is warm, strong winds can make climbing very dangerous this is the main problem for almost Nepali climbing. Also, during the rainfall at this altitude falls as snow by breaking tracks. This doubles the difficulty of the climb.
The best chance of avoiding these problems. We recommend you main season peak climbing between October and November or between March and May. Both these periods generally the Himalayas weather got stable. Long periods of stable weather and temperatures make the climbing possible. The top is still incredibly cold it is bearable.

How difficult is Mera peak climbing?

If you are physically and mentally strong enough than Mera peak is the best option. If you have experiences of climbed of a trek up to 5000m trek similar Kilimanjaro or Everest base camp then climbing Mera Peak could be a realistic next adventure in your list.

Mera Peak climbing is not technical but it quite hard. This is true, Mera peak at 6476m is the one of highest trekking peak in Nepal. And this brings all the challenges of trekking at really high altitude and heath. Beside include the possibility of extreme weather conditions and of course altitude sickness might.

Unless you have already been to altitudes above 5000m. Without any plan, you should probably avoid Mera Peak climbing. In total expedition, you will be at, or above, 5000m for 4 days it’s dangerous for regular trekkers and climber. And unless proper acclimatize we can’t trigger altitude sickness. Another is most of the clients and company offers short as well cheap over Zatwa La even though. This is a shorter route as crossing the Zatwa la pass at 4250m comparing another one. But we did not choose our trip causes clients to get problems with altitude sickness before they even reach Mera Peak

Besides the altitude, Mera Peak is also a tough slog. During Mera climbing, there is no particular point. That is difficult but the summit night climb up the glacier just goes on and on quite long. Expect to be trekking up the glacier for 5-6 hours to reach the summit this is similar to the big expedition up to 8000m.
The Nepal Mountaineering Association designates Mera peak as a trekking peak. Their criteria for this though, is only that you need to be able to use crampons and ice axe is necessary to reach the summit. There are first few parts in 30 degrees vertical and another west part more than 50-degree vertical wish is quite hard to achieve. Nevertheless, the ample effort can lead you the summit. But all that effort is worth it for the views and surrounding out of this world.
