Mera Peak Climbing - 18 Days

Mera Peak Climbing

Mera Peak Climbing takes us to the summit of Mera Peak (6,461m/21,190ft) which is the most astounding trekking peak in Nepal. We climb Mera Peak ideally amid the spring and harvest time seasons as it’s the best time to climb the mountain for its surprising perspectives of the Himalayan Vista. Five 8,000m mountains are unmistakable from the summit including Everest, Lhotse, Cho Oyu, Makalu and Kanchenjunga.

Adventure Outdoor sorted out its first climbing outing to Mera Peak in 1999. Our Mera Peak Itinerary is deliberately planned with unfaltering climb and a different day put aside in Khare to permit a lot of time for acclimatization. The standard course to Mera Peak is straightforwardly by means of the Zatra La Pass, however we take after the course that heads south from Lukla and up the wonderful Hinku Valley and later return by means of Zatra La pass. Following this course has a couple of focal points. We go through the excellent Nepalese wild as well as through interesting towns which will give us a look into the rich culture of local people. Furthermore, since the course is longer, it’s better for acclimatization.

Mera Peak climbing is an amazing alternative for anybody with direct mountaineering knowledge. It is a testing trekking peak because of its climbing, however the specialized mountaineering abilities prerequisite is exceptionally fundamental.
