Trip Overview
Mera Peak (6,476 m) is one of the highest trekking peaks in Nepal and a popular choice for adventure-loving climbers. Located in the Everest region, Mera Peak offers stunning views of five of the world’s tallest mountains – Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu and Kanchenjunga.
Mera Peak is a perfect challenge for fit trekkers and beginner climbers looking to experience Himalayan mountaineering. It doesn’t require technical climbing skills, but good fitness, mental strength, and proper acclimatisation are essential. The climb involves walking on glaciers with ropes and crampons, and there’s a steep final push to the summit, but the reward is unforgettable.
The Mera Peak adventure begins with a short 15-minute flight from Manthali Airport to Lukla – a quick and reliable flight to start your journey. From Lukla, the trail takes you through beautiful Sherpa villages, lush forests, and high alpine landscapes. You will explore remote valleys and peaceful surroundings, far from the busy Everest Base Camp route.
Experience More Than Just a Climb
Mera Peak climbing is not just about reaching the top – it’s also about discovering the Himalayan way of life. You’ll stay in local teahouses, share stories with Sherpas, and witness a lifestyle that is simple, spiritual, and deeply connected to nature.
