Mera Peak Trek

A real challenge, Mera Peak (6,461m) is one of the highest trekking peaks in the world.

Whilst it does not require significant mountaineering experience there are several steep sections that require ropes, ice axes and crampons. You'll need plenty of high altitude trekking experience to reach the summit, but your reward is some of the most spectacular and impressive mountain scenery in the world.

From the bustling bazaars and exotic temples of Kathmandu, you head into the Hinku Valley to start your journey to ascend Nepal’s highest trekking peak. A scenic flight to Lukla brings you to Sukey, where you start your trek via Khari La and Pangum La (3100m) before descending to the Hinku Valley. From here the walking gets tougher as you head through forests on high alpine tracks and boulder-strewn trails, with stunning glacial views and high passes.

Reaching Khare, you follow the path of a glacier with views of the peak you are about to climb. We’ve built in a couple of acclimatisation days to enable you to get used to the high altitudes and equipment, so you have the best chance of summiting. Packing your positive attitude in your day pack, it’s then time to set off up Mera Peak with your qualified climbing guides. You are based at a high camp, from where you will make an early start to the summit for what is sure to be the achievement of a lifetime.
