Why Choose Mera Peak Climbing
Mera Peak is often chosen by climbers who want a serious Himalayan experience without extreme technical difficulty. While the altitude is demanding, the climbing route itself is straightforward when done with proper guidance and preparation.
The route follows the remote Hinku Valley, known for quiet trails, pristine alpine scenery, and minimal crowds. This makes Mera Peak an excellent option for climbers seeking solitude, wilderness, and a true mountain environment.
Mera Peak is also one of the best training peaks for future high altitude expeditions, helping climbers gain confidence and experience above six thousand meters.
Location and Route of Mera Peak
Mera Peak lies in the Everest region but follows a different approach from the classic Everest Base Camp route. The trail leads through the remote Hinku Valley, passing forested ridges, alpine meadows, and traditional mountain settlements.
The journey begins with a scenic flight from Kathmandu to Lukla. From Lukla, the trek continues through Paiya, Panggom, Ningsow, Chhatra Khola, Kothe, and Thangnak before reaching Khare, the main acclimatization and training point.
From Khare, climbers cross the Mera Glacier and move to Mera High Camp in preparation for the summit push.

Safety is the most important aspect of Mera Peak Climbing. Traveling with experienced Sherpa climbing guides ensures proper acclimatization, safe rope work, and confident movement on snow and ice.
Pre climb training at Khare allows climbers to practice using crampons, ice axes, harnesses, and ropes. Daily health checks, altitude monitoring, and clear communication are part of a professionally managed expedition.
Permits Required for Mera Peak Climbing
Mera Peak Climbing requires several permits, including a peak climbing permit issued by the Nepal Mountaineering Association, along with required national park or local area permits.
All permits are arranged through a registered trekking and climbing company to ensure compliance with local regulations.
Kathmandu Experience Before and After the Climb
Before the expedition, climbers stay in Kathmandu for trip briefings, equipment checks, and permit processing. This preparation time ensures a smooth and safe journey.
