“Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.”
Mera Peak Climbing is one of the most astounding trekking tops in Nepal, which is reached by exploring one of the least-known regions located at the edge of Khumbu. The all-encompassing perspective of a few of the world’s most astounding peaks over 8000m is the highlight of this climb. In addition, you’ll experience authentic Sherpa culture, green and lush scenery, and interesting trekking trails over 17 days. As you venture through Makalu Barun National Park, you’ll traverse high meadows and alpine passes. On your journey, you’ll discover traditional Sherpa villages, chilly moraines, and towering glaciers, leading you into the secluded Hinku Valley.
Our journey to Mera Peak begins with a breathtaking flight to Lukla, the bustling gateway to the Khumbu region. From Lukla, we then diverge onto the lesser-known trail leading to the Hinku Valley. As we trek through dense forests of rhododendron, oak, silver fir, birch, and juniper, we’ll pass through small stone house settlements. Next, we tackle the steep climb up Zwatra La Pass (4,610m). Continuing onward, we are rewarded with views of snow-capped peaks, serene lakes, and the Mera Glacier as we follow the trail to the summit. Finally, after passing through the villages of Thangnak and Khare, we’ll reach base camp and prepare for our ascent.

At the highest point of Mera Peak, we take time to appreciate panoramic views of the peaks of Everest, Kanchenjunga, Lhotse, Cho Oyu, and Makalu, and take the obligatory summit shots before plunging to High Camp, Base Camp, and Khare. Through little settlements with refreshing teahouses and green rich scenery we come at last back to Lukla and fly back to Kathmandu.
