Best Time to Climb Mera Peak?

The best season to trek in Mera Peak is spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). We suggest climbing at the end of October because in October the weather and climate are much clear and you can enjoy the mesmerizing view and scenery of the Mountains.

For an experienced trekker, a winter trek is also possible with all the pre-arrangement and proper precautions. But should be prepared for all kinds of uncertainty in the way. Higher-elevation weather and temperatures are unpredictable. There is still a fear of bad weather in such circumstances. At any moment, the temperature will drop dramatically, and snowfall can occur on any given day.

If this happens, the already challenging Mera Peak climb will become even more difficult. For easy climbing, a warm temperature and days without rain or snow are needed.

After leaving Mera Base Camp, the real alpine challenge begins, with much of the climbing taking place on steep ice and snow surfaces. To get to high camp, you’ll have to walk for 4-6 hours.

Since the snow slopes do not exceed 30 degrees, Mt. Mera Peak does not require professional peak climbing experience. There will be fixed ropes and fixed lines to keep you secure. During the climb to the top, you will be following the climbing Sherpa’s orders and footsteps.
