The route of trekking and the summit
Mera peak climbing is a beautiful climbing experience that takes you to the Khumbu region of Nepal. After a flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, the climb follows a separate path to Mera Base Camp. There is a direct route to the base camp via Zatrwa La pass, but we take a longer way that would help us acclimatize well before the ascent. We head south from Lukla to enter the Hinku valley.
The path is very charismatic, with stunning views of mountains, valleys, glaciers, and mountainous terrain on sight. Later, the trail returns to Zatrwa La pass. Then we cross the pass at an elevation of 4600 meters and head towards the Mera Base Camp. From the base camp, we follow the instructions of our climbing leader and head towards the summit of the Mera peak. It’s truly an inspiring journey to the top.

Mera peak climbing is one of the strenuous climbing peaks in the Everest region of Nepal. Popular with the tag of–the highest trekking peak, Mera peak is not a joke! Though non-technical, we take above 5000 meters, which is a very high altitude where nothing can survive. The temperature is cold, and the weather is unpredictable. Likewise, the thinness in the air makes us hard to climb. It’s essential to acclimate your body well before ascending the peak. On the off chance your body can’t adjust to the thin air, it might turn fatal.
Even though the Mera peak is one of the toughest climbing peaks, regular practice, proper acclimatization, good body stamina, and the willpower to climb up is the key to a successful ascent. It takes climbing up via a harsh and challenging topographical condition. Hence, proper preparation for the climb is essential.
To acclimatize yourself to the high altitude, we will trek from Lukla to Khare and rest a day at Khare. Then, we travel to Mera Base Camp and summit the peak the next day. Heaven Himalaya’s prepared Sherpa guide will furnish us with an essential mountaineering preparation before the actual climbing of the Mera Peak.
Best time to climb Mera Peak
We recommend late April to May and Late September to November for Mera Peak climbing. For the best climbing experience, make sure that you climb the peak in May or October.
Climbing up the summit in winter may cause you to deal with colder conditions. Many don’t prefer cold weather, and it is difficult to walk in the thick snow.
