Mera Peak Climbing (6461m)

Mera peak climbingMera Peak Central face is situated at an altitude of 6461m) above the sea level, Mera Peak is the highest of all Nepal's official trekking peaks. The peak is located in the Hinku Valley. It is a challenging and thrilling task even for the adventurers to climb Mera's summit, however the views on the way up are truly spectacular! No doubt, the fun begins early on the journey long before we reach Mera Peak, and this is the ideal time for adventure and discovery it is a matter of fact that slow start and plenty of time to acclimatize are the prime keys to a successful trip at high altitude. Lukla (2800m) is a good place to begin. Our acclimatization for this climb will start with a two day hike and over the Zatrwa La Pass then go through lush green hills, forests of rhododendrons and bamboo, then finally into the Hinku Valley itself. The valley was reshaped a few years ago by the destruction of a large glacial lake that once lay at the northern end. The lake burst through its southern banks after a heavy spring thaw and poured into the valley. A deep river gorge now runs down the center, and our journey will take us up through this amazing display of waterpower.


Mera Peak (6,461m.) stands to the south of Everest and dominates the watershed between the heavily wooded valleys of the Hinku and Hongu Drangkas. There are several routes to the peak, however we will follow the standard route that the team had used. All the routes are difficult, some of them require crossing very high and difficult passes. This leads to a true mountaineering experience. The climbing offers a panoramic view of Chamlang, Kangchenjunga, Makalu, and Baruntse in the east and the peaks of Cho-Oyu, Ama Dablam and Kangtega to the west. Everest can be viewed to the north over the massive unclimbed south face of Lhotse and the Nuptse/Lhotse ridge. For those travellers, who want to join in a group trip to Mera peak in November will have chance to do with our group join tours. Below will be the details.
