Mera Peak Climbing in Nepal
Overview
Mera Peak Climbing Spring and Autumn 2021
The Mera Peak Climbing is a delightful ascending adventure in a beautiful mountain called Mount Mera famous for this attractive looks and the views from the top. The Mera Peak is 6476 meters tall categorized as a trekking peak and has three peaks known as Mera North of 6476 m, Mera Central of 6461m and Mera South of 6065m. The Mera Peak Climbing is a straightforward climb for experienced climbers with the problem of proper acclimatization for new and general climbers. The climbers need to get trained in fitness and altitude training for Acute Mountain Sickness before trying for Mera Peak. The Mount Mera is beautiful and fascinating mountain with nearby and stunning views of all the mountains of Everest region from one single place mainly Everest, Makalu, Lhotse, Cho-Oyu along with other adjoining peaks.
The Mera Peak Climbing takes the climbers to Lukla Airport from an air-light from Kathmandu city and final boarding at Namche bazar after 2days walking from Lukla Airport. The climbers traverse through various local places like Chutanga, Thuli Kharka, Kothe, TTak Nak Khare before reaching Mera base camp. The Mera base camp is a beautiful place to camp and see nature which requires excellent physical fitness to overcome the altitude sickness issue. The trekking trail of hidden valley and unspoiled forest of Hinku Valley is one of the most beautiful locations of the earth. The climbers from Mera base camp further move towards High Camp at 5780 meters and finally reach the Mera Central Peak of 6461 meters. The climbers are rewarded with close by views of all mountains of Everest region from one single place.
When is the best time to climb Mera Peak in Nepal?
In order to climb Mera safely you need stable weather and for it to be dry times is more easy to climb. Even if it is warm, strong winds can make climbing very dangerous. Also, any rainfall at this altitude falls as snow, and breaking tracks in this doubles the difficulty of the climb.
To give yourself the best chance of avoiding these problems, we recommend climbing between October and November or between March and end of May. Both these periods generally bring long periods of stable weather and, although the temperatures at the top are still incredibly cold, it is bearable.
Getting there & away:
This trip starts and ends in Lukla, the gateway to the Khumbu region. Numerous flights are made daily from Kathmandu, in small fixed-wing airplanes, taking around 30/35 minutes flight to Lukla However, bad weather frequently closes the airport, so it’s wise to prepare for delays if flying to Lukla. The suggested itinerary includes a contingency day.
It’s also possible to trek to Lukla (rather than fly) from outside Kathmandu, the “pioneers’ route” that connects to the trailer at Jiri and passes beneath Lukla. However, this isn’t necessarily recommended as an addition to a long trip such as climbing Mera Peak, unless you want a serious adventure, as it lengthens the expedition by about a week.
Accommodation & food
This is a camping trek (with the exception of Lukla). You will be sleeping in everything from forests to meadows to high snowy camps. Nutritious and energizing food will be prepared in a camp kitchen.
Permits
As a trekking peak, climbing Mera Peak requires a cheaper climbing permit (US$70-250, depending on the season), rather than the pricey expedition permit required for peaks about 7,000 m. As part of this trek also passes through the Sagarmatha National Park, a permit for here is also required. Nepal Planet Treks and expeditions will organize these permits for you.
GOOD TO KNOW
NOTE:
1. Lukla flight based from Ramechhap Airport
Dear Guests!
This is to inform all of you that Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) has issued a NOTAM for Taxiway Maintenance due to which Kathmandu Airport will be closed from 22:30 hours to 6:30 hour everyday effective from September 01, 2019 to December 31, 2019. During the above mentioned period there will be more traffic congestion at Kathmandu Airport which leads to Air Traffic Hold, flight delay and high possibility for flight cancellation due to flight startup queue, therefore for smooth operation of Lukla flights, all the airlines will be operating Lukla flight from Ramechhap Airport effective October 01, 2019 to December 31, 2019.
Ramechhap is located in the Tamakoshi River Valley, the capital of Ramechhap District at an altitude of 474 meter. It is located 132 kms east of Kathmandu and takes about 4 hours by drive from Kathmandu.
Thank you for your support and apology for the inconvenience caused by this which is beyond our control.
Alternatively, if you prefer to ride helicopter to/from Lukla based from Kathmandu avoiding long drive to/from Ramechhap can be arranged upon request paying additional fees.
2. In a worst-case scenario, if the flight from Kathmandu / Ramechhap to Lukla, or Lukla to Kathmandu / Ramechhap is delayed or cancelled due to bad weather, we can always transfer you to a next day ticket. However, in case you’re on a tight schedule time-wise, we can charter in a helicopter at additional fees. more info visit Nepalguideinfo.com sites Thank you Namaste !!

Another an acclimatization day is essential here. It is in a superb setting surrounded by stunning peaks. There is a huge moraine in the north of Tangnag where a beautiful glacial lake, Sabal Tsho is dammed which is definitely worth a visit.

You set up a high camp and from here the views are outstanding, with Everest, Makalu, Cho Oyu and more piercing the skyline. This evening we overnight in Mera High Camp.

If time and conditions permit we may opt to make the traverse to the slightly higher north summit.
