MERA PEAK CLIMBING

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.

The adventure begins with a thrilling flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, known for its dramatic mountain airstrip. Upon arrival, you'll take a scenic helicopter ride to Kothe, a picturesque village located at an altitude of 3,580 meters. This helicopter ride is a great way to shorten the trek and experience stunning aerial views of the surrounding Himalayan peaks, ensuring that you’re fully rested and ready for the upcoming days of trekking.

Your trek starts today from Kothe to Thangnak, passing through beautiful alpine forests and along mountain rivers. This trek is moderate, taking about 4-5 hours, and gives you your first real taste of the Himalayan landscapes. Along the way, you'll be treated to views of nearby peaks and the tranquil beauty of the region. Once you arrive in Thangnak, you’ll settle into a teahouse or camp to rest and prepare for the days ahead.

Today, you’ll continue your trek from Thangnak to Khare, a small village located at an elevation of 5,045 meters. This shorter, 3-hour trek will help you adjust gradually to the increasing altitude. As you trek, you’ll pass through glacial valleys and witness the stark, breathtaking beauty of the Himalayan terrain. Upon arrival in Khare, you'll be able to take in the stunning views of Mera Peak and the surrounding mountains.

Acclimatization is essential for your safety and success on this climb, and today is set aside for rest and adjustment to the altitude. You’ll spend the day in Khare, allowing your body to adapt. You can take short hikes around the area to help with acclimatization, and your guides may offer helpful tips for the summit. Taking it easy today will help ensure you have the energy and stamina for the challenging days ahead.

Today’s trek takes you from Khare to Mera High Camp, situated at 5,700 meters. This is one of the more demanding days, as you'll be ascending to a higher altitude. The trek will take 4-6 hours, passing through rocky terrain and glaciers. Along the way, you'll notice a change in the landscape as you near the high camp. Once you reach Mera High Camp, you’ll rest, hydrate, and prepare your gear for the summit attempt the following day.

This is the highlight of the trek: summiting Mera Peak, standing at an elevation of 6,476 meters. The climb begins early, usually in the pre-dawn hours, to take advantage of the best weather conditions. The ascent involves navigating glaciers and snow-covered slopes, with spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. Once you reach the summit, you’ll be rewarded with views of the world's highest peaks, including Everest, Makalu, Lhotse, and Kanchenjunga. After spending time celebrating your achievement, you’ll descend back to Khare, where a well-deserved rest awaits.

On the final day of the trek, you’ll make your way back to Kothe, retracing your steps through the scenic valley. After reaching Kothe, you'll take a helicopter back to Lukla, where you’ll catch a flight back to Kathmandu. The return flight offers a final chance to admire the breathtaking Himalayan views before heading back to the hustle and bustle of Kathmandu. Upon arrival in Kathmandu, you can relax, celebrate, and reflect on your incredible adventure.

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. After celebrating your achievement, you will descend back to Khare, where you’ll rest for the night.

On the final day of your adventure, you will descend back to Kothe, retracing your steps from the previous days. After arriving at Kothe, you'll take a helicopter back to Lukla, enjoying one last aerial view of the mountains and valleys. From Lukla, you’ll take a scenic flight back to Kathmandu, where you can reflect on your incredible journey and celebrate your successful climb of Mera Peak.

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.

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.

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 Khara, 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.

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.
