Best Himalayan Experience Yet!

This was my third trip to Nepal, but my first technical peak. I felt totally prepared due to the gear briefing and guidance from our experienced Sherpa team. Mera Peak gave us insane views of five 8000m mountains. Absolute highlight of my travels so far!

Authentic Nepal Adventure with a Great Team

Mera Peak is not a touristy trek; it’s remote and peaceful. I appreciated how Sole Encounters included off-the-beaten-path routes and allowed us to experience true mountain culture. Their attention to safety and comfort was first-rate.
