Unless you buy a private tour, you will be climbing with other people who share your interests. Himalayan Glacier’s qualified and knowledgeable local climbing instructors or Sherpa climbing leaders who have successfully summited the peak numerous times will lead you. In their climbing careers, some climbing leaders have summited Mt. Everest at least once or a few times. From the start, your guide will provide you valuable advice and show you the ropes while aiding you. He will also provide you with pre-climbing training at the base camp the day before the summit.
Mera Peak can be climbed at any time of year, albeit the summer months are not suggested due to the rainy season. The spring and fall seasons, on the other hand, are thought to be the ideal and most favorable times of year for any climbing expedition in the Himalayas. The fall season, often known as autumn, lasts from September through November, with mild temperatures and mostly sunny skies. The spring season in Nepal extends from March to early June, and it is also the busiest climbing season of the year. Mera Peak can also be climbed in the winter, however the intense cold at this time of year can be dangerous for inexperienced climbers.
Climbing Mera Peak is a great option for anyone with some mountaineering experience. Because of its elevation, it is a difficult trekking peak, but the technical climbing abilities required are quite simple. In addition, before the summit, a seasoned Sherpa guide from Himalayan Glacier will give us some basic mountaineering training.
You must first obtain a Nepal visa before traveling to Nepal. Except for India, all international individuals who wish to have it. You can apply for this visa once you arrive in Nepal. Then send your passport, which must be valid for at least six months after the beginning of the tour.
Yes, our staff members will be waiting for you at the Kathmandu airport prior to your arrival to arrange hotel transportation. You will also be dropped off at the airport without fuss for your departure. When you’re with us, you won’t have to worry about anything
The view of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Makalu, Cho Yuo etc.. from High Camp on the Mera peak trail is one of the most incredible views that one might experience as a mere human (ie not from a plane). I would recommend this experience for anyone looking for the unique, off beaten path beauty of our planet.
Not an easy trek, but relatively accessible for people in generally good fitness shape and mental toughness.
