Mera Peak Climbing

Mera Peak is Nepal's highest trekking peak, and this 18-day expedition is built as a genuine first step into mountaineering rather than a technical climb. You will use crampons and an ice axe for real on the glacier and summit push, guided throughout by an experienced team.

The route runs through the Khumbu, so alongside the climbing itself you get Sherpa villages, forest trails, suspension bridges, and monasteries on the way in and out. Two nights at Khare allow proper acclimatisation before you push up to Base Camp, High Camp, and the summit.

From the top, on a clear day, you see four eight-thousanders at once — Everest, Makalu, Cho Oyu, and Lhotse. It is a long, gradual build rather than a quick dash, which is part of what makes it manageable for climbers new to altitude and basic ice skills.
