Overview
This is an excellent opportunity to climb Nepal’s highest peak without having to obtain a permit (6,476m/21,190ft). From the summit, you will have stunning views of several 8000m plus peaks, such as Everest, Cho Oyu, Kanchenjunga, Lhotse, and Makalu. You will also get to see and understand how the Sherpa villagers’ in this mountainous region live. This climbing trek allows you to enjoy numerous stops at teahouses, overnight camping plus a real climbing adventure. All this and more while trekking inside the Sagarmatha (Everest) National Park.
The journey begins with a short scenic mountain flight to Lukla followed by a trek through a number of Sherpa villages, noticeable by their Gompas (monasteries), chortens (engraved stones) and multi-colored Tibetan prayer flags. We will venture along more isolated and less trekked trails through the Hinku and Hunku valleys. We then head up to Mera Peak Base Camp, summit the peak and return with an adrenalin-pumped experience. Climbing Mera Peak is not a technical climb with slopes not exceeding 30 degrees. You will feel safe as fixed ropes will guide you to the summit following in your guide’s footsteps.
Accommodation is in teahouses during the trek right up until we get to Khare where we spend two nights in tented camps with the climbing crew (porters, cook, guide, and group leader). At Khare we will spend time acclimatizing, that is essential if climbing to higher altitudes such as Mera Peak. On the second day of the trek we will cross Zatra La Pass which is the most popular route to Mera Peak.
We will then return to Lukla and board a scenic flight back to Kathmandu. This is a great combination of trekking and climbing that takes you to the summit of a substantial peak – without the fuss of obtaining climbing permits. Mera Peak climbing is an ideal choice for anyone with moderate mountaineering knowledge and experience. The most challenging aspect of this trek is getting acclimatized. You will need only basic climbing skills, which our guide can assist you with prior to your ascent to the summit.
Note: Usually, this Mera peak climbing tour involves climbing the Central Mera Peak (6461m). There are two other faces of Mera Peak – North Mera (6476m) and South Mera (6064m). We can also operate climbing trips for these faces as per your request as well. Please do not hesitate to click the 'Make an Enquiry' if you have any questions.
Itinerary
Our representative will meet you at Tribhuwan International Airport. You will then be transferred to your hotel in Kathmandu city. Our staff will assist you until the check-in procedure ends at the hotel. You can either rest at the hotel or visit our office for additional information about the trip.
Today, we will take an early morning scenic flight from Kathmandu to the airstrip in Lukla. Lukla is the gateway to Khumbu and the entire Everest region. From Lukla, we start our trek heading east into the thick forest on the hillside below the Kalo Himal Ridge. There are several trails that head away from the main trail on this section, so sticking to the group is the best option before arriving at Chhutang.
Leaving Chhutang we will follow the trail that gradually ascends and steepens as we head towards the crossing of Zatrawala Pass at 4600 meters. Our tiring climb to the top of the pass is rewarded with magnificent views of Numbur Himal, Kongdi Ri, Karyolang Peak and other surrounding peaks. Our trek goes along a level path for almost two hours before descending all the way to Tuli Kharka.
From Tuli Kharka, our trail is a mixture of both uphill and downhill trekking through dense forest filled with rhododendron, oak, pine and juniper trees. During our trek, we will have magnificent views of Mera Peak and surrounding snow-capped peaks.
A steep descent to the Hinku River and a final uphill climb will lead us to Kothe. Kothe lies to the west side of the Hinku valley and offers serene wilderness with lush vegetation to trekkers.
Our trail from Kothe goes along the ridge of the Hinku river towards Gondishung. We will pass through Lungsumgba Gompa which was built approximately 200 years ago. Here we can find Mera Peak along with its route scripted in rock, a fantastic example of rock carving architecture.
Our trek continues along a rather easy walking trail that leads to the summer grazing area of Thangnak where there are shops and tea houses.
Our trail from Thangnak goes over the lateral moraine towards Hinku Nup and Shar Glaciers. From there, the trek involves a steep climb all the way to Khare.
We will enjoy the magnificent view of the Northern Face of Mera Peak from Khare. Besides, Khare offers a number of good hikes for exploration and acclimatization.
Acclimatization is essential in higher altitudes to avoid mental and physical sickness. As we are above the 5000 meters altitude, we will spend a rest day at Khare for acclimatization and exploration.
Our Sherpa team will make necessary checks on our climbing gears including ropes, ice axes, crampons, harness, and other equipment before heading further to higher camps.
Leaving the base camp, we will follow the trail that climbs over through Mera La Pass and continue trekking along the rocky and often snow-covered trail towards Mera Peak High Camp.
Once at the high camp, our Sherpa crew will quickly set up the camps and make necessary checks on our health conditions and climbing gears. From the high camp, we can enjoy amazing views of Everest, Makalu, Nuptse, Cho Oyu, Baruntse, and Chamlang.
Today is the day we all have been desperately waiting for. Properly equipped and fully acclimatized, we start early with the aim to reach the summit before noon. Strong winds after midday can create obstacles in reaching the summit.
We start around 2 in the morning and after having breakfast we climb up the glacier and onto a ridge. Once at the top, we are rewarded with magnificent views of five spectacular 8000-meter peaks – Everest 8848 m, Cho Oyu 8201m, Makalu 8463 m, Kanchenjunga 8586 m as well as Nuptse 7855 m and Chamlang 7319 m.
After spending quality time at the Mera Peak summit, we will descend using the same route and head back to reach Khare for our overnight stay.
It might happen that we may not reach the summit as we planned due to bad or unfavorable weather conditions. Our main target is to successfully lead you to the summit of Mera Peak. Thus, we will spare a reserve day in case of bad weather or other unwanted situations. However, if everything goes smoothly, we can use this day to trek back on leisure.
After having achieved our target – the summit of Mera Peak, we will retrace our steps from Khare and pass through Thangnak before heading further towards Kothe.
With mostly downhill trekking, we will leave the high altitudes and enter into the dense sub-tropical forest filled with rhododendron, oak, pine and birch trees. We trek until we arrive at Kothe.
Leaving Kothe, our trail is uphill trekking through dense rhododendron forest that goes over the western section of Hinku valley towards Tuli Kharka. Duration 6-7 hours
From Tuli Kharka we can enjoy the magnificent views of Mera North, Mera Central and south face of Mera Peak.
Today is the last day of our trekking. From Tuli Kharka we will ascend for the crossing of Zatrawala Pass and from the top of the pass, we descend to finally arrive back to Lukla.
In the evening, we will celebrate the successful Mera Peak Climb.
We will take an early morning scenic flight from Lukla back to Kathmandu. You will be transferred to the hotel after landing at the airport. You can either have rest at hotel or visit sites that weren’t possible on the second day of the trip. Enjoy your leisure time at Kathmandu.
Leaving the Khare, we will follow the trail that climbs over through Mera La Pass and continue trekking along the rocky and often snow-covered trail towards Mera Peak High Camp. Once at the high camp, our Sherpa crew will quickly set up the camps and make necessary checks on our health conditions and climbing gears. From the high camp, we can enjoy amazing views of Everest, Makalu, Nuptse, Cho Oyu, Baruntse, and Chamlang.

Reviews
Overview
Enjoy the excitement of standing on one of Nepal’s most famous trekking peaks: Mera Peak (6476m). This 7-day high-altitude journey is designed for adventure seekers in pursuit of an authentic Himalayan challenge with stunning views of the highest mountains on earth. Brought to you by the experienced team at Sherpa Expedition, it is a great mix of exceptional logistics and impressive mountains that is a mountaineer's dream.
Your trip begins with a memorable flight to Lukla, the airport where we will land to start your Everest trek. From there, you’ll skip the regular days-long approach by hopping in a helicopter to Kothe, leaving you ahead of the curve and conserving your energy for the strenuous effort ahead.
Arriving in Kothe, the real journey starts. You’ll hike through colorful rhododendron forest and pristine alpine meadows, gradually making your way down to Thangnak. This pint-size mountain hamlet sits under the gaze of heavy Himalayan walls. Each rise brings more stunning views of defying, towering peaks, preparing you for the push to Khare, the ultimate launching pad before the summit. Khare not just serves as a springboard for daredevil Mera Peak, but also a respite to acclimatise, re-energise, and psyche up for the gruelling task ahead.
A day for acclimatisation, “rest day” in Khare for safety as well as getting used to breathing in thin air. It will also be the occasion for practical lessons on how to use some of the most important mountaineering tools — crampons, ice axes, harnesses, and ropes. Our professional Sherpa guides will instruct you in essential glacier travel and safety skills to give you confidence as you prepare for your summit bid.
Beyond Khare, the ascent rises to Mera High Camp, where you will be ready for your summit amid a world of snow and ice. With its jagged ridgelines and glacial plateaus, the high camp is imbued with a raw, remote spirit that serves as the threshold to the summit.
You will start out in the wee hours … typically around 3:00 in the morning, under a star-jammed night sky. The climb is several hours long, with steady progress over snowy slopes and crevassed glaciers. Near the summit, as dawn approaches, one of the most unforgettable panoramas in the Himalayas awaits you. From the summit of Mera Peak, you’ll see five of the world’s Top Ten highest mountains: Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Kanchenjunga, and Cho Oyu, all clustered together in a long sparkling panorama of the Himalayas.
Once you summit and celebrate, you’ll descend into Khare and make your way back home knowing you’ve accomplished one hell of an achievement. The journey ends with the return flight to Kathmandu, returning you to your daily life and the perfect chance to relive an amazing week.

Itinerary
The adventure begins with an early flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, known for its thrilling airport and dramatic landing amidst the mountains. After landing in Lukla, you'll take a scenic helicopter ride to Kothe, situated at 3,580 meters in the remote Hinku Valley. This helicopter ride cuts down on the trekking time and allows more time for acclimatization. Upon arrival in Kothe, you'll settle into the local lodge or camp for the night, ready to begin your trek the next day.
Today marks the start of your trek through the Hinku Valley. You will hike from Kothe to Thangnak, located at 4,350 meters. The trail ascends gradually, passing through alpine forests and beautiful landscapes. The walk is about 4-5 hours, offering breathtaking views of the valley and surrounding mountains. Upon reaching Thangnak, you'll enjoy the serene atmosphere and prepare for the next leg of your journey. This village provides a perfect spot to adjust to the altitude.
To ensure a safe climb, you'll take an acclimatization day at Thangnak. Acclimatization is crucial when trekking at high altitudes to prevent altitude sickness. This rest day allows your body to adjust to the reduced oxygen levels. During the day, you can take short hikes around Thangnak to help with the acclimatization process. You’ll also enjoy the opportunity to relax, take in the stunning scenery, and mentally prepare for the more challenging sections of the trek.
Today, you will trek from Thangnak to Khare, which is situated at an altitude of 5,045 meters. The trek takes about 3 hours and is relatively short, giving you plenty of time to acclimatize. As you ascend, you’ll pass through alpine meadows and rocky terrain, with impressive views of the surrounding peaks. Upon arrival in Khare, a small settlement, you’ll be surrounded by towering mountains, providing a perfect base for your summit bid. You'll rest here for the night, preparing for the upcoming climb to Mera High Camp.
Another important acclimatization day is planned at Khare to give your body further time to adjust to the altitude. The high-altitude environment can be taxing, and proper rest is essential to prevent altitude sickness. You can explore the nearby areas on short walks or hikes. Your guides will also assist you in preparing mentally and physically for the next phase of the climb, while continuing to monitor your health and well-being at the higher altitude.
Today, the trek becomes more challenging as you ascend to Mera High Camp, located at an altitude of 5,700 meters. The trail takes you through glaciers, moraines, and rocky paths, offering stunning views of the surrounding peaks. This section of the trek usually takes about 4-6 hours, with the altitude making the climb progressively more difficult. Upon reaching Mera High Camp, you’ll be staying in tents under the stars, preparing for your final summit attempt. This camp offers amazing views of Mera Peak and other nearby mountains.
Today is the pinnacle of your trek as you attempt to summit Mera Peak at 6,476 meters. The climb starts early, usually in the early morning hours, to take advantage of the best weather conditions. The summit push is challenging and involves navigating through snow and ice-covered slopes. With crampons and ice axes in hand, you’ll make your way to the top. Upon reaching the summit, you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views of five of the world’s highest peaks, including Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, and Kangchenjunga.

Overview
A trek designed to discover some of the most beautiful scenery in Nepal and climb one of the highest trekking peaks in the world in the shortest possible time – the Mera Peak Climbing 9-day itinerary is an amazing journey through the beautiful Himalayas. Mera Peak is 6,476 metres high and is praised for its non–technical climb it is one of the most frequented amongst trekkers, looking for a physically challenging summit to experience the beauty of the magnificent peaks beyond. The 9-day itinerary allows for the best acclimatization, which results in a significantly better experience on the mountain and a much more enjoyable trek.
Your journey commences with a stunning flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, where you’ll have some of the most amazing views of the Himalayas from the sky. Fly into Lukla Airport and enjoy a helicopter ride directly to Kothe, skipping four hours of walking, and saving time and energy. From Kothe, you will travel up the Hinku valley, tracing the Hinku River as you ascend gradually through thick forests and meadows of the alpine type. With the serene environment and slow rise in elevation, you will be able to properly acclimatize to the steadily growing altitude on your path to Khare.
The sheer beauty of the Mera Peak trek is that it is so un-technical. Most trekkers with a sound fitness level and a will to push harder to grow the sea level mark can undertake this climb without prior mountaineering experience. Technically easy to climb, we can say Mera Peak is easier than other normal trekking peaks, Lobuche, and Island. It’s a straightforward ascent that gradually takes you to Mera High Camp; on fine days, you’ll enjoy fantastic views of Mera Peak's south face. This attractive, rocky landscape provides trekkers with a feeling of adventure while they hike to the top.
Summit day is an absolute electric, adrenaline-riddled experience. The day begins early as you climb up through the snow fields, glaciers, and some steeper sections. Lorenzo Tugnoli for The Washington Post. You will see Earth’s highest peak (photo or Everest) from the top, just as I had done, when I traveled away from Nepa,l and hopefully to the U.S., I felt sorry to leave my own country. The views from the top of Mera Peak are breathtaking, of course, but the sense of accomplishment that comes with standing on top of one of the highest trekking peaks in the world is why people do it.
After the adventure-filled summit, you’ll return the same way to Khare for a well-deserved rest before descending to Kothe. Then another helicopter from Kothe takes you to Lukla, where a scenic flight transports you back to Kathmandu to reminisce about your amazing journey.
The 9-day ascent of Mera Peak is ideal for first-time climbers, looking to experience a high-altitude challenge. The longer itinerary provides more time for acclimatization, thus improving the trekkers' chance of reaching the summit and is less rushed for those who want to acclimatize safely. This expedition mixes the challenge of alpinism with the stunning scenery of the Himalayas, and is great if you are looking to have a physically demanding but non-technical climbing experience. It’s an adventure through one of the most beautiful mountain ranges on the planet, with breathtaking views around every turn.
Itinerary
Your Mera Peak journey begins with a scenic morning flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, the famous gateway to the Khumbu region. Upon arrival in Lukla, you’ll immediately board a helicopter to Kothe, bypassing several days of traditional trekking. This strategic transfer not only saves time but also conserves your energy for the higher elevations ahead. As you land in Kothe, nestled in the lush Hinku Valley, you’ll get your first taste of the remote wilderness and alpine beauty that define this trek.
Today’s trek takes you deeper into the Hinku Valley, following the winding path along the Hinku River. The trail gently ascends through dense pine and rhododendron forests before transitioning into rugged alpine terrain. After a moderate 4–5 hour trek, you’ll arrive at Thangnak, a small seasonal settlement surrounded by towering peaks and glacial moraines. The increasing altitude begins to make itself felt, but the stunning views make every step worthwhile.
To adapt to the rising altitude, you’ll spend a rest day in Thangnak. This is essential for your body to adjust and prepare for higher elevations. You may go on a short acclimatization hike to nearby ridges or viewpoints, which also offer fantastic photo opportunities of the surrounding glaciers and peaks. This day helps minimize the risk of altitude sickness and builds your endurance for the days ahead.
Today’s trek is shorter but steeper, as you gain significant altitude in a relatively short distance. The landscape becomes more rugged and barren as you leave the green valley behind. After a 3-hour uphill hike, you’ll reach Khare, a high-altitude base village that serves as the staging point for the Mera Peak summit climb. From Khare, you’ll get your first clear views of Mera Peak, building anticipation for your summit attempt.
Another crucial acclimatization day is built into the itinerary at Khare. This rest day is not just for recovery, but also for training and gear preparation. Your guide will provide a basic climbing briefing and help you familiarize yourself with the use of crampons, harnesses, and ice axes. You'll also take a short hike around Khare to continue the acclimatization process. This day ensures you're physically and mentally prepared for the ascent.
This is one of the most adventurous days of the trek. You’ll leave Khare and ascend gradually along a glacial route toward Mera High Camp, situated at 5,700 meters. The terrain is rocky, icy, and exposed, and the air becomes noticeably thinner. The trek takes 4–6 hours and is physically demanding, but the panoramic views of Everest, Makalu, and Baruntse are absolutely spectacular. Tonight, you’ll sleep in tents at High Camp, soaking in the starry Himalayan night before summit day.
Today is the highlight of your trek—summit day. Starting before dawn, you’ll ascend the final stretch to the summit of Mera Peak, navigating snowy slopes, crevasses, and icy ridges. The use of crampons and rope support may be required, depending on conditions. The climb is strenuous but non-technical, and as you reach the top, you’ll be rewarded with unmatched 360-degree views of five of the world’s highest peaks: Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, and Kangchenjunga. After spending some time at the summit, you’ll carefully descend to Khare for a well-deserved rest.
After your successful summit, you’ll begin your descent back into the Hinku Valley. The trek back to Kothe takes about 4–5 hours and is much easier on the lungs as you descend into thicker air. This return journey provides a final chance to take in the natural beauty of the valley and reflect on your accomplishment. Tonight, you’ll celebrate your summit with your team in Kothe.
Your journey concludes with a helicopter ride from Kothe to Lukla, avoiding the need for multiple days of trekking out of the valley. After landing in Lukla, you’ll board a short flight back to Kathmandu, where your adventure ends. As you return to the capital, you’ll carry with you memories of one of the most rewarding high-altitude treks in the world.

Overview
This is the highest peak in Nepal that does not require a climbing permit (6,476m/21,190ft). From the summit there are spectacular views of several 8000 meter plus peaks, such as Everest, Cho Oyu, Kanchenjunga, Lhotse and Makalu. You will also visit a number of Sherpa villages in this mountainous region and observe their traditions and culture. We will stop at numerous teahouses, experience overnight camping plus a true climbing expedition. The trek follows trails within the Sagarmatha (Everest) National Park.
We begin with a short scenic mountain flight to Lukla and then trek through various Sherpa villages, conspicuous by their Gompas (monasteries), chortens (engraved stones in Sanskrit) and multi-colored Tibetan prayer flags. We will follow remote and less trekked routes through the Hinku and Hunku valleys. We then climb up to Mera Peak Base Camp, summit the peak and experience the rush of standing on top of a mountain. Climbing Mera Peak is not a technical climb with slopes not greater than 30 degrees. Fixed ropes will guide you to the summit as you follow in your guide’s footsteps.
Accommodation is in teahouses during the trek until we get to Khare where we spend two nights camping with the climbing crew (porters, cook, guide, and group leader). At Khare we will stop and allow time to acclimatize, that is necessary if climbing to higher altitudes such as Mera Peak. On our second day of the trek we will cross Zatra La Pass which is the accepted route to Mera Peak.
We then head back to Lukla and take a scenic flight to Kathmandu. This is a great combination of trekking and climbing that takes you to the summit of a significant peak – without the bother of obtaining climbing permits. Mera Peak climbing is an ideal for anyone with moderate mountaineering understanding and skill. The most challenging and important facet of this trek is getting acclimatized. You will need only basic climbing skills, which our guide will help you with prior to your climb to the summit.
Note:
Usually, this Mera peak climbing tour involves climbing the Central Mera Peak (6461m). There are two other faces of Mera Peak – North Mera (6476m) and South Mera (6064m). We can also operate climbing trips for these faces as per your request as well. Please do not hesitate to click the 'Make an Enquiry' if you have any questions.
Itinerary
A representative from Sherpa Expedition and Trekking will meet you at Tribhuvan International Airport. You will then be taken to your hotel in Thamel, the tourist hub of Kathmandu. In the evening we will have a Trip meeting where you will also be briefed on what to expect on your journey to Mera Peak.
We rest for most of the day and unpack and ready ourselves for the trek. We will also visit Sherpa Expedition and Trekking’s office in the afternoon where our trekking guides will check our set of climbing equipment to make sure that they are in good condition before heading off on the trail.
We take an early morning flight to Lukla and from Lukla begin our trek to Paiya along a jungle trail, cross a bridge over the Handi Khola (river) and then arrive at Surkhe Village. We continue heading south and cross the Chutok La Pass before reaching the small settlement of Paiyan, also known as Chutok.
Leaving Paiya, we cross a wooden bridge and trek through Kari La Pass where there are beautiful rhododendron and bamboo forests along the way. The amazing views of mountains and the view of Dudh Koshi River will leave you awestruck.

Today we follow the trail along the banks of the Hinku Khola with Mera Peak directly above us. We will stop for a lunch break at Gondishung, a small settlement for cattle and yak grazing herders. On the trail we pass the 200-year-old Lungsumgba Gompa (monastery) before arriving at Thangnak where we will stay the night.
This morning we leave Thagnak and head to Khare and along the trail have views of Charpate Himal. The trail ascends across moraines to the base of the Hinku Nup (valley glacier) and Shar glaciers. After arriving at Khare we can view the north face of Mera Peak. We will stay here the night.
Today we have a day set dedicated to acclimatize; something that cannot be ignored. Health professionals strongly recommend staying active during this time. Your guide will also go over some tips on climbing Mera Peak and the use of an ice axe, harness, ascenders and crampons. We will stay overnight at Khare.
We have to cross a rocky terrain to reach Mera Peak Base Camp and will then continue through Mera La Pass to reach Mera High Camp. Once at High Camp we will have some awesome views of Mt. Everest, Makalu, and Cho Oyu, Nuptse, Chamlang, and Baruntse. We will stay here overnight.
Today is going to be a long and tiring one as we head to the summit. We will have some amazing views of Mt. Everest, Makalu, and Cho Oyu, Nuptse, Chamlang, and Baruntse. The views from the summit go on forever! After some time at the summit we retrace our foot-steps back to high camp where we rest for a while before descending to Kongma Dingma for the night.
Today is a well-deserved rest day after yesterday’s mammoth effort to reach the summit.
This morning we head up a remote valley to the yak pastures further up. As we trek we have Chamlang on our left, and Baruntse in the distance. We continue up the valley in the direction of Mt. Everest and Lhotse. We will camp overnight at Seto Pokhari.
This is one of the most remote regions of the Himalayas, so it is rare that we see any trekkers on the trail unless it is in the peak tourist season. From Seto Pokhari we pass several lakes in the upper Hunku Basin. After passing Hunku Pokhari we come to Hunku Glacier. Tonight we will stay at Labtsa Base Camp.
Today we cross the Amphu Labtsa La Pass (5,845m) then cross the Amphu Labtsa Glacier. Lhotse Shar Glacier and Imja Glacier are very close. The trail then heads around Imja Tsho Lake and then follows the main Island Peak trail. As we continue we come close to Ama Dablam Glacier before arriving at Chhukung where we stay overnight.

This morning we head out on a mostly a downhill trek on a trail next to the Dudh Koshi River. We cross several suspension bridges, pass by a number of monasteries and villages before arriving at Lukla. We can spend the rest of the day resting or wander around Lukla and the nearby countryside. This is our last day of the trek.
This morning we take a scenic flight to Kathmandu giving us an opportunity to look down on the mountains we trekked around on our journey to Mera Peak. After arriving back at Kathmandu we can choose to rest at our hotel in Thamel or go for a wander around the area and do some souvenir shopping before our departure tomorrow.
Today a representative from Sherpa Expedition and Trekking will take you to the airport at least three hours prior to your departure. On your journey home you may already be planning another mountain climbing adventure – even a 7000 or 8000-meter peak!

Overview
This is a chance to go climbing without the necessary permits that most climbing expeditions require in Nepal. Mera Peak fits the bill perfectly and at (6,476m/21,190ft) you will have spectacular views of several 8000m plus peaks, such as Mt. Everest, Cho Oyu, Kanchenjunga, Lhotse, and Makalu. Also on this trek, you will get a good understanding of how the Sherpa villagers’ in this mountainous region live.

You will feel safe and secure as fixed ropes will guide you to the summit following in your guide’s footsteps.
Accommodation is in teahouses during the trek right up until we get to Khare where we spend two nights in tented camps with the climbing crew (porters, cook, guide, and group leader).

Overview
This is a chance to go climbing without the necessary permits that most climbing expeditions require in Nepal. Mera Peak fits the bill perfectly and at (6,476m/21,190ft) you will have spectacular views of several 8000m plus peaks, such as Mt. Everest, Cho Oyu, Kanchenjunga, Lhotse, and Makalu. Also on this trek, you will get a good understanding of how the Sherpa villagers’ in this mountainous region live. This climbing expedition has numerous stops at teahouses, overnight camping plus a real climbing adventure within the Sagarmatha (Everest) National Park.
Your journey begins with a short scenic flight to Lukla and trekking through a number of Sherpa villages, conspicuous by their Gompas (monasteries), chortens (engraved stones) and multi-colored Tibetan prayer flags. We will venture along isolated and less trekked trails through the Hinku and Hunku valleys and then head up to Mera Peak Base Camp, summit the peak and return with an adrenalin-pumped experience. Climbing Mera Peak is not considered a technical climb with slopes not exceeding 30 degrees. You will feel safe and secure as fixed ropes will guide you to the summit following in your guide’s footsteps.
Accommodation is in teahouses during the trek right up until we get to Khare where we spend two nights in tented camps with the climbing crew (porters, cook, guide, and group leader). At Khare we will spend time acclimatizing, that is considered essential if climbing to higher altitudes such as Mera Peak. On the second day of the trek we will cross Zatra La Pass which is the most popular route to Mera Peak.
We will then head to Lukla and board a scenic flight back to Kathmandu. This is a great combination of trekking and climbing that takes you to the summit of a sizeable peak – without the bother of obtaining climbing permits. Mera Peak climbing is an ideal choice for anyone with moderate mountaineering experience. The most challenging aspect of this trek is getting acclimatized and then having to cope with reduced oxygen as you head to the summit. You will need only basic climbing skills, which our guide will assist you with before your ascent to the summit.
Itinerary
Today, we will take an early morning scenic flight from Kathmandu to the airstrip in Lukla. Lukla is the gateway to Khumbu and the entire Everest region. From Lukla, we start our trek heading east into the thick forest on the hillside below the Kalo Himal Ridge. There are several trails that head away from the main trail on this section, so sticking to the group is the best option before arriving at Chhutang.
Leaving Chhutang we will follow the trail that gradually ascends and steepens as we head towards the crossing of Zatrawala Pass at 4600 meters. Our tiring climb to the top of the pass is rewarded with magnificent views of Numbur Himal, Kongdi Ri, Karyolang Peak and other surrounding peaks. Our trek goes along a level path for almost two hours before descending all the way to Tuli Kharka.
From Tuli Kharka, our trail is a mixture of both uphill and downhill trekking through dense forest filled with rhododendron, oak, pine and juniper trees. During our trek, we will have magnificent views of Mera Peak and surrounding snow-capped peaks. A steep descent to the Hinku River and a final uphill climb will lead us to Kothe. Kothe lies to the west side of the Hinku valley and offers serene wilderness with lush vegetation to trekkers.
Our trail from Kothe goes along the ridge of the Hinku river towards Gondishung. We will pass through Lungsumgba Gompa which was built approximately 200 years ago. Here we can find Mera Peak along with its route scripted in rock, a fantastic example of rock carving architecture. Our trek continues along a rather easy walking trail that leads to the summer grazing area of Thangnak where there are shops and tea houses.
Our trail from Thangnak goes over the lateral moraine towards Hinku Nup and Shar Glaciers. From there, the trek involves a steep climb all the way to Khare. We will enjoy the magnificent view of the Northern Face of Mera Peak from Khare. Besides, Khare offers a number of good hikes for exploration and acclimatization.
Acclimatization is essential in higher altitudes to avoid mental and physical sickness. As we are above the 5000 meters altitude, we will spend a rest day at Khare for acclimatization and exploration. Our Sherpa team will make necessary checks on our climbing gears including ropes, ice axes, crampons, harness, and other equipment before heading further to higher camps.
Leaving Khare, we start our short but technically demanding trek towards Mera Peak Base Camp. Our trail is a gradual ascend over to the Mera Glacier. We will climb steeply towards the top of the glacier before traversing along the glacier to finally arrive at Mera Peak Base Camp. Once at the base camp, our Sherpa crew will quickly set up the camp and make necessary preparations for further trekking.
Leaving the base camp, we will follow the trail that climbs over through Mera La Pass and continue trekking along the rocky and often snow-covered trail towards Mera Peak High Camp. Once at the high camp, our Sherpa crew will quickly set up the camps and make necessary checks on our health conditions and climbing gears. From the high camp, we can enjoy amazing views of Everest, Makalu, Nuptse, Cho Oyu, Baruntse, and Chamlang.
This is the day we have all been waiting for as we head to the summit. We will be up real early in the morning order to reach the summit with time enough to return to High Camp and Khare. The early morning light on the snow-covered peak is dazzling. From the summit we have some awesome views of Mt. Everest (8,848m), Cho-Oyu (8,210m), Lhotse (8,516m), Makalu (8,463m), Kanchenjunga (8,586m), Nuptse (7,855m), Chamlang (7,319m), Baruntse (7,129m) and other massive peaks. We will then return to Khare for the night.
Today we have an early morning scenic flight from Lukla back to Kathmandu. You will be taken back to your hotel in Thamel where you can stroll around its narrow streets or visit some of the historic sites in Kathmandu Valley.

Our tiring climb to the top of the pass is rewarded with magnificent views of Numbur Himal, Kongdi Ri, Karyolang Peak and other surrounding peaks. Our trek goes along a level path for almost two hours before descending all the way to Tuli Kharka.
From Tuli Kharka, our trail is a mixture of both uphill and downhill trekking through dense forest filled with rhododendron, oak, pine and juniper trees.
