Mera Peak is gazetted as Nepal’s highest trekking peak and sits in a perfect position for the most magnificent panorama of Himalayan giants; Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Makalu, Baruntse...the list is almost endless. This is a very achievable objective as your first expedition or as the pinnacle of your alpine trekking aspirations.
Every day of the expedition resonates with new and interesting experiences whether it is a short stop to chat with local people on the trail or the thrill of a new and majestic view around each corner.
The journey starts with a short flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, delivering us directly to the Khumbu valley and the start of our exhilarating voyage through the Sherpa homeland. Initially we weave our way through arable fields where we can observe subsistence farmers tending their crops and animals. Later we climb through forests and small mountain villages on our way towards the mountain.
From Mera Peak Base Camp we establish a high camp from which to make the summit ascent. The climb is conducted over three days ascending glaciers that are mostly gentle in angle with the occasional steeper pitch. While your guides will ensure your safety the ascent still requires some fortitude to complete.
An Adventure Consultants expedition to Mera Peak is enriched with experiences made possible only through our long established relationship with the people and places of Nepal. We incorporate a very special range of cultural opportunities and trekking highlights to make this an unforgettable Himalayan journey.
On an Adventure Consultants expedition to Mera Peak and you will benefit from the substantial experience and knowledge of our internationally qualified Guides and seasoned Sherpa assistants.
The rewards of the journey, coupled with the stunning views from the top, will make this a journey of a lifetime!
