Mera Peak Climbing is the highest trekking peak among the 6000 meters peaks in Nepal. The Mera climb is best for novice climbers to collect mountain climbing experience for the eight thousand peaks in Nepal. Mera Peak is one of Nepal’s most unique and impressive trekking peaks and is considered the highest among the 6000 meters. Mera Peak is in the wildest area of Hinku Valley in the Khumbu region, southeast of the giant Mount Everest.
Mera Peak is an adventurous climb with some technical difficulties on the way. The adventurous climb to Mera Peak is perfect for trekkers who dream of standing on the top of the mountain.
The 18-day Mera Peak Climbing Cost offers an impressive and mesmerizing view of the highest mountains in the world like Mount Everest (8848m), Lhotse (8516m), Kanchenjunga (8586m), Makalu (8481m), and Cho Oyu (8201m). As you board a scenic flight to Lukla from Kathmandu, the thrilling journey commences. The trail takes you through a heavily wooded forest filled with rhododendron, juniper, oak, and pine trees. The route to the peak also passes through glaciers, iced paths, terraced fields, waterfalls, and beautiful untouched valleys. On the way, you will walk past several villages, mainly inhabited by Sherpa people allowing the trekkers to learn about their local lifestyle and culture. The trail crosses over the Zatra La Pass (4,610m), where trekkers can get a fantastic view of Dudh Koshi Valley and the beautiful landscape from the top of the pass. Following the guidance of our climbing leader and gearing up the necessary equipment, the trekker reaches the top of the summit, which offers a stunning 360-degree view of different mountain ranges. The climb suits those who love technical mountaineering and have some climbing experience. One needs to have good physical fitness to climb Mera Peak.
Right next to Mount Everest is the highest trekking peak in Nepal, i.e., Mera Peak. At 6,476 meters above sea level, Mera Peak is the highest you can go without mountain climbing permits. This Mera peak climbing is perfect for experienced trekkers and new climbers. The peak lies in the Himalayan range in the Mahalangur section and Barun sub-section of the Himalayas. Along with Mera North, 6,476 meters used mainly by trekkers, there are two other peaks, i.e., Mera Central, 6,461 meters, and Mera South, 6,065 meters. Also, there are other shorter peaks.
The region was first explored extensively by British expeditions in the early 50s before and after the ascent of Everest. Members of the Mera Peak Trek included Edmund Hillary, Tenzing Norgay, Eric Shipton, and George Lowe.
Mera peak climbing in Nepal was first done in 1953 by Col, a French team. However, Peak Mera climbing was only climbed on 29 October 1973 by L. Limarques, Ang Lhakpa, and two other Sherpas. The south pillar, which is the most difficult one, was mounted in 1986. However, the popularity of the Mera Peak trek rose when Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay climbed it multiple times as a practice peak before they could conquer Everest.

Mera Peak isn’t steep technical climbing, but it’s high altitude and huge rocks demand some knowledge and strength. Technically, Mera Peak difficulty has been graded PD as per the mountain alpine grading system. Earlier, it was graded F, which means straightforward. But, with some changes in the structure of the peak, the difficulty of the Mera Peak summit is now graded as PD. It means there are not many but few technical climbing sections.
In these 18 days, we only cover the Mera peak climbing distance of about 100 km. The domestic flight to Lukla saves us time and energy from reaching Khumbu. From Lukla, the space to Mera Peak is relatively less, and we only walk 8 to 12 kilometers daily. Other days are pretty straightforward except for the Mera Peak Summit climb on the 11th day. On the summit day, you need to start the Mera Peak rise before 3 am and cross the most challenging section of the trek in complete darkness.
Remoteness: The Other challenge you face during the Mera Peak climb is the remoteness of the Mera Peak climb. Since this is of beaten trail in the Khumbu region, there are only a few hotels along the way. We will stay in a tented camp after Lobuche. Basics like bathing, bathroom, charging phones, etc., also become problematic. You will not get to use Wi-Fi; even a mobile network might not work at such an altitude. You must live your 18 days utterly devoid of comfort and luxury.
Mera’s peak altitude is 6,476m/21,247ft. This makes it one of the highest trekking peaks in Nepal. Another nearby peak island peak is 6,100 meters. It’s also higher than the popular Lobuche Peak climbing.
MyEverestTrip Mera Peak Itinerary is 18 days right from your arrival in Kathmandu. Including two rest and training days and one Sightseeing day in Kathmandu, 18 days are enough for you. Experienced climbers can complete the journey in 11 days from Kathmandu. However, it is suggested that you stroll and have at least two rest days so that your body can adapt at a higher altitude. The Mera Peak climb is only three days, but you need six days to reach Khare. And then, you need four more days to get from Khare to Kathmandu.
Mera Peak’s climbing cost is USD 1880. Since almost all Mera Peak expedition routes must be completed in tented accommodation, the price of the Mera Peak climb is high. Being an off-route trail, the tea houses are very few and primarily over-occupied. Thus, we must carry tents, food, cooking utensil, etc., from Kathmandu. This also adds more members to your team and increases the cost.
Getting food, accommodation, a guide, porter, goods, and transportation ( including flight cost) at Mera Peak cost of $1880 is a very reasonable offer. If you travel without a Mera expedition package, the price comes out to be higher than you thought. You also need to get a special trekking permit, which is relatively expensive.
In terms of height, Mera Peak is slightly higher than Island Peak. Island Peak is about 3,00 meters lower than Mera Peak. But, the climb to Island Peak’s summit includes more steep ice climbs, numerous challenging sections, and the headwall. In contrast, the upgrade to Mera Peak is straightforward, with fewer challenges like crevasses. Island Peak is more adventurous with its rocky path and many technical points. And then there’s Mera Peak which is safe and fun for trekkers.
If this is your first ever high-altitude trek, go for Mera Trek, which is relatively easy and short. If you are a somewhat experienced climber planning to climb an 8,000 mountain sometime soon, Island Peak can be a good option.
Mera peak cannot be termed technical. The path is mostly straightforward, and anyone with zero experience in mountain climbing can complete the trek. Only the last section of the tour, i.e. from Mera High Camp to the Mera summit, is technical. And since we have to hike on this section at 3 am (in total darkness), it’s pretty tricky. Getting back into this particular section is also quite dangerous. Beyond that, all other areas are manageable and safe. Ama Dablam and Chulu East are more technical than Mera Peak.
If there is recent snowfall, the trail is quite slippery and needs the use of ropes and crampons for Mera Peak trekking. Our guide can teach all these techniques required for the Mera Peak expedition. The Sherpas will fix ropes and create support wherever necessary, so you don’t have to take the risk. They will also set the crampons. You will be safe and can even enjoy the Mera Peak ski.
Yes, you can see Mount Everest from Mera Peak. Mount Everest and Mera lie in the Khumbu region within Sagarmatha National Park. Everest Peak is visible from the Mera summit. And you can see Mera Peak from Kalapatthar as well. You can also see Everest from different viewpoints between Lukla and Mera Base Camp. So, this Mera peak route is less crowded to witness the world’s tallest peak at a close distance.
The entire Himalayas range remains below the freezing point throughout the year. The average temperature of Mera Peak is -5 degrees Celsius in the daytime and -12 degree Celsius at night. Snowfall is quite regular during the Monsoon and winter seasons, depositing a very thick layer of snow on the rock on Mera Peak summit.
The warmest month in Mera Peak is July ( about 6 degrees Celsius), but the rainfall and snowfall keep changing the temperature. December and January are the coldest months, with temperatures dropping below -15 degrees Celsius. Spring, i.e., March and April, the peak season for mountain climbing, has a Mera Peak temperature of -5 degrees Celsius. Although the temperature is low, the Mera Peak climate in Spring is relatively stable with low chances of rainfall. September and October have pretty good Mera Peak weather, with a temperature of about -2 degrees Celsius.
Mera Peak Climbing is mainly done in March, April, and May. This is the time for almost all mountain climbs in Nepal, and the crowd at the mountains is at its peak. The other possible months for Mera Peak climbing are September and October. The journey is quite tricky as the temperature drops after November. From January, it’s almost impossible to trek up to February. June, July, and August are not the best times to climb Mera peaks. Treks in semi-arid land as Upper Mustang is better in summer. If it was just a trek to Mera Base camp, you could have completed it in any season. But the actual Mera Peak climbing can only be done in stable weather. Otherwise, it can be deadly.
Mera’s peak altitude is 6,376 meters, among Nepal’s tallest trekking peaks. This means you aren’t bound to the specific rules and permits needed for the mountain climbs in Mera.
Other vital destinations during the trip and their Mera Peak Height are:
On the 3rd day, you reach Chutanga at 3,050m. Beyond Chutang, you start to feel the increasing impact of altitude. From Thagnak at 4,350m, most trekkers start to develop altitude sickness. So, to cope with Mera Peak’s altitude, we move slowly and quickly. We have two rest days in our Mera Peak climb itinerary, which helps our body adapt to the decreasing oxygen level. Beyond that, you must ensure you are fully hydrated and avoid dehydrating drinks while gaining Mera Peak Height.
Check Everest Three Pass Trek for a more challenging experience.
Even then, if you develop altitude sickness during the Mera Peak expedition, our expert Sherpa guide will always have extra medications for you. We might also be able to provide some oxygen cylinders and take you to a lower altitude. In the case of extreme pain and severe symptom of altitude sickness, helicopter evacuation will be arranged as per your travel insurance on different Mera Peak Heights.
Mera Peak climbing for 18 days, a few tea houses and small local settlements, Khare has now been developed as an acclimatization and training energy before you head for the Mera Peak summit view. You can say in tented camps or at local tea houses in Khare.
You can reach Khare after five days of walking from Lukla via Namche (as Everest Short Trek). Per MyEverestTrip Itinerary, you need six days as we also have a rest day in Thangnak. From Khare, Mera Peak Summit is another three days of walking. When you leave Khare after a rest day, you can reach Mera Base camp or Mera La for the first night and stop at the high camp. On the 3rd day, we hike to the Mera Peak summit and return to Khare.
