After that, you’ll go east from Lukla to Chhuthang (3,020m). You’ll pass numerous small Sherpa towns along the road, each separated by a short distance.

As soon as it hits the Hinku Valley, you’ll get your first glimpse of Mera Peak, your ultimate destination. You will push for the remaining stretch of the day to reach Kothe, which is one uphill struggle away from the bank of the Hinku River. Kothe, on the west side of the Hinku Valley, is home to a tranquil wilderness and a few tea houses. Kothe is a wonderful place to spend time.

You’ll reach Gondishung and have lunch there if you walk in the shadow of Mera Peak. A few minutes walk from the Gondishung is the Lungsumgba Gompa, a two-century-old Buddhist Gompa. A rock painting depicting the precise picture of Mera Peak may be found in the middle of the day. From here on out, you’ll have a lot of fun and see a lot of sights as you make your way to Thangnak.

You will be at a higher risk of altitude sickness if you do not acclimate before summit day. It will take some time for your body to adjust to the higher altitudes. As a result, the Mera Peak climbing program includes a rest or acclimation day at Khare. This day will be spent entirely in and around Khare, which serves as the entrance to Mera Base Camp. Any person traveling above 5000 meters is susceptible to this illness. Mera Peak climbing climbs even higher than that, as the top, at 6,476 meters, is the highest point. On this Mera Peak excursion, you must breathe the air at a height of 6,476 meters.

You arrive at Mera Peak High Camp after continuing our walk along the rugged and often snow-covered trail.

Mera Peak climbing with Nepal Mountain Adventure starts from USD 1,699 per person including the climbing permit, licensed high altitude guide, porter, all camping equipment and cook, meals throughout, and domestic flights from Kathmandu to Lukla. See the complete Mera Peak package details on our website.
Nepal Mountain Adventure’s Mera Peak climbing itinerary takes 18 to 21 days total, flying to Lukla and trekking through the Hinku Valley to Mera Base Camp (5,300 m), High Camp (5,780 m), and the summit at 6,476 m before returning to Lukla via Zatrwa La Pass (4,610 m).
Yes, Mera Peak at 6,476 m is the highest of Nepal’s officially classified trekking peaks making it the ultimate high altitude trekking peak achievement available without a full mountaineering expedition permit. It is also one of the technically easiest peaks at this altitude making it achievable for fit non-technical climbers with proper preparation.
Mera Peak is rated moderate in technical difficulty making it one of the most accessible 6,000 m summits in the world for non-technical climbers. The standard route is a non-technical snow climb with crampons and ice axe required but no fixed rope or vertical ice sections. The primary challenge is the extreme altitude of 6,476 m rather than technical climbing difficulty.
Spring (April to May) and autumn (October to November) are the best seasons. Spring is particularly popular as weather windows are more reliable and longer on Mera’s summit. Nepal Mountain Adventure also occasionally operates winter ascents in November to December for experienced climbers who want the mountain in snow conditions with fewer other teams on the route.
Two permits are required which are the Mera Peak Climbing Permit (USD 250 in spring, USD 125 in autumn) from the Nepal Mountaineering Association and the Makalu Barun National Park Entry Permit (USD 30). Nepal Mountain Adventure arranges both permits in Kathmandu well before the departure date.
The Mera Peak summit delivers one of the greatest panoramic views in all of Nepal with five of the world’s six highest mountains visible including Everest (8,849 m), Kanchenjunga (8,586 m), Lhotse (8,516 m), Makalu (8,485 m), and Cho Oyu (8,188 m) simultaneously in one sweeping 360-degree view. It is considered the finest panoramic summit viewpoint accessible on any Nepal trekking peak.
Nepal Mountain Adventure provides crampons, ice axes, harnesses, carabiners, rope, high altitude sleeping bags (rated to minus 25 degrees), and expedition tents for all Mera Peak summit attempts. Climbers must bring their own double layer mountaineering boots and personal high altitude clothing system. Visit NMA’s packing list for a full personal gear breakdown.
Yes, Nepal Mountain Adventure offers a combined Mera Peak and Island Peak package of 26 to 30 days that climbs both 6,000 m peaks in one trip via the challenging Amphu Lapcha Pass (5,845 m) crossing between the Hinku and Imja valleys. This combination is rated as the most ambitious standard trekking peak itinerary available in Nepal and is recommended only for experienced high altitude trekkers.
Yes, Mera Peak is one of the top three recommended first Himalayan climbing experiences in Nepal. Its non-technical standard route, the highest achievable altitude among trekking peaks, and the extraordinary five-peak panorama from the summit make it the most rewarding beginner Himalayan climbing objective. Nepal Mountain Adventure has guided hundreds of first-time high altitude climbers to the Mera Peak summit successfully.
The Mera Peak approach includes mandatory acclimatization days at Khotang (3,560 m) and Khare (5,045 m) before the summit push. Nepal Mountain Adventure’s guides conduct daily pulse oximeter checks throughout the approach and carry supplemental oxygen, Diamox, and dexamethasone for emergency altitude management. Please review NMA’s travel insurance recommendations before booking.
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.
