Mera Peak Climbing

Mera peak is one of the most popular trekking peaks in Nepal. The walk from Lukla through the Sherpa regions of the remote Inkhu valley is an unforgettable experience. This peak is located south of Everest in the Hinku valley and is relatively easier to climb than most other peaks. You will witness superb scenery and abundant wildlife, possibly catching a glimpse of the legendary yeti. It takes about six days to reach base camp where climbers stay for two nights.From there, the climb takes about three to four days, depending on weather conditions. Although the climb is not technically difficult, it requires a strong physical condition and good mountaineering skills. Climbing Mera peak requires mountaineering skills and a special permit from the Nepal Mountaineering Association.

The bulk of Mera, officially the highest of Nepal’s permitted trekking peaks, rise to the south of Everest and dominates the watershed between the wild and heavily wooded valleys of the Hinku and Hongu Drangkas. Mera (Peak) is a chance to venture into a little visited and as yet unspoilt region of Nepal where the hillsides are still densely forested and a need to be self-sufficient is essential. There is also, of course, the pleasure of going above 21,000 feet. Both the Hongu and Hinku valleys remain uninhabited although there are Kharka in the Upper Hinku basin where Sherpa from the South, near Pangkongma, graze their animals during the grass- growing monsoon. The upper Hongu Basin is truly a mountain wilderness, a place of massive moraines, glacial lakes and spectacular peaks that include Chamlang and Baruntse.
