Mera Peak Expedition

We cross Kari La pass, after which the trail goes along mountainsides through the Khari Khola valley and reach Pangkongma.

After having a delicious breakfast at camp, we started walking on rocky and barren landscapes, which give stunning views of mountain summits, and the wooded region below the trail, and finally reached Khote.

Welcome to Nepal! We will receive you at the airport and transport you to the hotel.

The day begins with a meeting and introduction with your trek and tour leader. After breakfast, we organize a short meeting at the hotel lobby. The meeting finalizes the preparation of the trek. In the meeting, you need to bring three copies of your passport, passport-size photos, and a travel insurance copy. Soon, the day tour will start, and visit the most highlighted places in Kathmandu.

Early morning, 1 AM, get up and drive to Ramechhap. The guide will meet you and take you to the airport to fly to Lukla. It is about 5 hrs drive from Kathmandu Ramechhap. The 35-minute scenic flight takes you to Tenzing-Hillary airport. Upon your arrival, the guide will introduce the porters/staff of your trekking and head to Chutanga, which takes three hours to walk from Lukla.

Morning: Begin your trek early, leaving your previous night’s camp. The trail gradually ascends, offering stunning views of the surrounding peaks and glaciers. Ensure you’re well-hydrated and take regular breaks to acclimatize to the increasing altitude. Afternoon: Arrive at Thangnak, a serene spot surrounded by towering peaks. After lunch, explore the area, which serves as a great acclimatization opportunity. Evening: Overnight at a lodge in Thangnak. Enjoy the camaraderie of fellow trekkers and share experiences over dinner.

The climb is strenuous but rewarding, with panoramic views of the Himalayan vista. Evening: Set up camp at Mera High Camp. Prepare your equipment and mindset for the early morning summit attempt. Rest early, as the next day starts well before dawn. Day 10 Summit to Mera peak (6470meters) and then return to Khare (4900meters) Pre-Dawn: Start your ascent to the summit of Mera Peak.
