Mera Peak is one of the most famous climbing peaks in the Makalu Barun national park region which is located to the east of the world-renowned Sagarmatha National Park, the home of the highest mountain on earth, Mount Everest. Mera peak is one of the highest trekking peaks in Nepal. The peak is ideal for trekkers with some experience in high-altitude trekking but has yet to try actual mountain climbing with full climbing gear.

Climbing Mera peak does not need advanced skills besides just walking on glaciers with crampons and summit approach with rope assistance. During the course of the Mera peak climb “Base camp” and “high camp” are used before the summit however, most people use only the high camp straight from Khare to the summit.

Although the region is famous for the Mera peak expedition, however, just the trek to the Mera peak base camp attracts hundreds of tourists from around the world for its diverse scenery, stunning mountains view, lakes, and glaciers alongside local Sherpa hospitality and culture.

The summit of the Mera peak provides an unforgettable panoramic view of the highest mountain peaks such as Mount Everest 1st highest, Mount Kanchenjunga 3rd highest, Mount Lhotse 4th highest, and Mount Makalu 5th highest along with other surrounding peaks and glaciers in the region. 

Discover Altitude has been organizing the Mera peak expedition along with several other peak expeditions in the Nepal Himalayas. We provide the best climbing arrangement services. The expedition is led by our professional climbing Guides having a high amount of experience in Nepal Himalayan peaks and are also licensed by the Nepal mountaineering association.

How to get to the trailhead of Mera peak?

  • The first and also time-saving way to get to the trailhead of Mera peak is to take a flight from Kathmandu to Lukla airport which only takes about 30 minutes to reach.
  • Another alternative way to Mera peak is you can either take a flight to Salleri or drive then trek via Khari Khola which is time-consuming and takes a minimum of a couple of days extra than the first option of approach.

Mera peak climbing in the Spring season.

The Spring season which falls in the months of March, April, and May is the best time of year to climb mountains and so as for the Mera peak expedition. During this season weather is more predictable. The nights are relatively warmer compared to autumn and other seasons.

Normally, the sky mostly remains clear until the afternoon which provides a better weather window for summiting mountains and viewing the scenery. Moreover, this season has only very little chance of snowing thus, providing compact ice for crampons. it is also a good time of year for rhododendron blossom which definitely adds up to the sight.

Climbing Mera peak in the Autumn season

The Autumn season which falls in the months of September, October, and November, is the second-best time of year to summit the Mera peak. Although it has a little bit colder nights and mornings before the daylight compared to the spring season but also provides a good weather window for summiting. The day is more pleasant temperature with bright sun in the sky which is less sweaty during the walk.

How difficult is Mera Peak climbing?

Mera peak is listed as one of the trekking peaks in Nepal and is considered among the easier peaks to climb. Anyone with good acclimatization and a little bit of rope handling skill can do it easily as it doesn’t require any serious climbing skills or doesn't have to go crossing the ladder on the crevasses as well as there is not really an avalanche risk sections.

once the climbs from the base camp begin it is a tiny bit steep at the beginning but eventually, it is mostly a straightforward walk on the glacier until Mera PeakHigh Camp. Leaving high camp the trail is still a gradual climb on the glacier and the last hour of the summit approach is a little steeper, however, the rope is fixed for your safety by the climbing Sherpa which helps a lot to push up to the summit and all you need is a little bit of determination, stamina, and patience.

Useful Info

The List of Trekking and climbing gears that you need to bring for Mera Peak climbing.

Although it differs from each individual choice and interest. the list of equipment below is a general idea that provides some guidelines for gears to bring during your trek and for climbing.

Bringing clothes during the trek is all about how long you can go with smelly clothes vs how often you want to change clean clothes. However, we advise you to bring sufficient and warm enough clothes fit for much colder weather as mountain weather is always unpredictable and especially for summiting mountains.

just for a reminder, you can buy all these gears in Kathmandu as well.

Trekking equipment

Duffel bag

you need a duffel bag that is supposed to be waterproof with a strap along with a TSA lock. in your duffel bag, you keep all the clothes and essentials gear while trekking until Khare which will be carried by our porter. Regarding the size, you can choose from 100 liters to 140 liters duffel as this size all you to fit most of the things you need for trekking.

Sleeping bag

it is the most important piece of equipment for trekking and climbing. Normally the smaller and lighter the size, the more expensive it is. Regarding the warmth of sleeping bags, down sleeping bags are warmer than synthetic ones. you need to bring the sleeping bag that rates up to -20c and a liner just in case it feels colder.

Daypack bag

It's a daypack bag that you carry while waking where you put your wallet, camera, water bottle, rain cover, fleece jacket, and windproof jacket. Regarding the size of the daypack bag, the size of a small-medium 30 to 40-liters day bag with some side pockets where you can fit your water bottle or gloves is good. Moreover, if you can fit your Camelbak in your daily carry it is more efficient in the coldest weather as your water doesn't get freeze.

Water bottle

You can bring two water bottles in which you can drink in one and treat water in another to refill again. (Nalgene water bottle is good as you can put hot water as well if you want) you also can bring Camelbak which can be very handy for climbing.

Upper body

  • Short sleeve synthetic t-shirts*3(while trekking you sweat a lot so, synthetic t-shirts are best to bring as they are light and dry fast)
  • Wind shirts*1
  • Long sleeve Merino wool t-shirts*2
  • Synthetic insulated jacket (you can use it for climbing as well)
  • Fleece glove
  • Insulated gloves
  • Buff (trail gets very dusty with trekkers and animals passing by you so, you can use it as a mask)

Miscellaneous items

  • Items for drinking water treatments such as Steripen, iodine tablets, chlorine liquids, or water filters. (if you using liquids or tablets it might bring a different taste in water so you can bring some juice-powder to bring a nice taste)
  • Fast drying-camp towel (most guesthouses don't provide a towel for a shower so it's good to have one)
  • body wipes (it comes in handy if you don't take shower, especially in higher altitudes where there are no showers)
  • toilet papers
  • lip bam
  • Sunscreens (minimum of SPF 40 plus as in higher altitude sunlight are direct and more penetrating.

A fantastic guide, an amazing Trek

WOW is all I can say about Ace. Udaya was an amazing guide and was perfect throughout the entire trek. He was friendly, super knowledgeable, and handled everything that I needed from gear to travel. They were always concerned about my comfort and seeing that a memorable trip was had by myself and my partner. I had a medical issue that caused him to both works into the night to get a resolution. Of course, being sick in a foreign country can be a scary ordeal, but it was handled professionally and worked out well.

I can say with certainty that they'll be at the top of my list for my next trip and I can say without reservation that I'd go with them again.

Excellent!

I am not an expert on trekking but I love it. From my experience, if you have a plan to trek, the important is you have to find a good guide and travel agency you can trust. I am lucky I found both. So if you have a plan in mind to go to Nepal.. just try to contact them. I believe that you will imprese on their service. 5 trips in Nepal since 2017.. until now I am looking forward to going back to trek with them again 😊
