Mera Peak Climbing - Spring/Autumn Package 2026/27

On the first day of your Mera Peak Climbing expedition, you will be transferred to the domestic terminal at the Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA), from where you will take a morning flight to Lukla, ‘the gateway to Everest.’ After meeting the rest of your expedition team there, you will move along the trail toward Paiya during the second part of the day.

Descending downward, you will head north from Lukla and pass through a beautiful scenic route filled with lush forested areas (rhododendron, juniper, pine, and Mongolian juniper). After arriving at Surke, you will move along the trail toward Pakhapani, which will lead you to Chutok La Pass (2,945 meters). From there, it's a gradual walk to the Paiya, a small civilization on the lap of the Himalayas that offers spectacular views of the Himalayan gems like Kongde Ri, Khatang, Tang Ragi Tu, and several other adjacent peaks.

On Day 2 of your expedition, you will leave Paiya behind and descend the trails to reach a wooden bridge down the valley as you move towards Panggom. It can be a slightly challenging day’s trek in your Mera Peak Climbing as you traverse across the slippery trails toward Kari La Pass (2,800 meters), so be careful with your footing. After the pass, you will rejoin the beautiful, lush route accompanied by a diverse array of rhododendron flowers, bamboo, and pine forests

Passing along the Phaplu Village, in this day’s trek, you will walk the terraced landscape alongside the Dudhkoshi River as you trek toward Panggom. This beautiful Himalayan civilization is known as a farming and trading hub, so depending upon the season of your visit, you will be greeted by the colorful vegetation in the region.

After leaving the farming and trading settlement of Panggom behind, on this day of Mera Peak Climbing, you will trek to Ningsow in the first segment of this day’s expedition. You will pass beautiful scenic trails alongside the lush forests (bamboo and rhododendron), Buddhist monasteries, chortens, prayer flags, and stones engraved with prayer as you traverse across the Panggom La pass (3,174 meters). From the top of the pass, you will be able to catch a glimpse of the Himalayan massifs like Naulekh, Mera South Face, and Kongde Peaks.

Then, it is a long and steep downward trail toward the bottom of the valley; this descending trail offers you alluring views of the lower Himalayas on the southern side. During the last stretch of this day’s trek, you will cross the Hinku River via a suspension bridge and climb the inclined hill for about 2 hours to finally arrive at the valley on the eastern side of the Ramailo Dada.

Day 4 of your Mera Peak Climbing is an exhilarating day of adventure; you will pass through the most beautiful rhododendron forests, with red and pink petals lighting up the trails on this day’s trek. After several ascents and descents along the beautiful route, you will enter the Makalu Barun National Park, one of the major highlights of this day’s expedition, with the opportunity to witness the diverse flora and fauna of the region, such as red panda, snow leopard, wild boar, goral, Himalayan marmot, Himalayan black bear, etc.

Then, from here, you will walk along the ‘Pasang Lhhamu Trail’ toward the Chhatra Khola. If you are lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of the elusive Himalayan wildlife on this beautiful trail; you will rest here tonight at one of the finest lodges in the region.

On this day’s adventure, you will pick up the main route of the Mera Peak Climbing; you will trek above the Hinku Valley and climb down the steep trails through meadows as you pass along the science trails of rhododendron, hemlock, and birch forests. As you trek along the trail next to the Majang Khola, as you advance further, it will merge with the routes alongside the Hiknu Khola.

From here, the latter part of this day’s trekking in Mera Peak Climbing is straightforward to the Trashing Ongma, which is famous as a resting destination and houses seasonal tea shops. After getting rest here, you will move along the trail towards Sanu Khola, and after crossing the bridge over the river, you will arrive at Kothe, your resting destination tonight.

After rejoining the mainstream route in the Mera Peak Climbing, on this day of your Mera Peak Climbing, you will follow the ridge of the Hinku Khola. As you start ascending to the higher altitude, the treeline gradually starts to disappear, opening wider Himalayan vistas of kharkas and grazing meadows of the yak with the Himalayan massifs sparkling in the background. It's a short scenic trek today; as you move along the trail and arrive at Gondishung, you will have your lunch, enjoying the magnificent views of peaks like Charpati Himal, Kusu Kanguru, Thamserku, and Mera Peak.

During the second stretch of this day’s expedition, you will follow the ascending route toward Thaknak. You will also pass the 200-year-old Buddhist Shrine, Lungsumgba Gompa; from here, about an hour's trail will take you to Thaknak, where you will be able to savor the spectacular up-close view of the Charpati Himal after reaching the high-Himalayan civilization. Thaknak is a summer grazing region that houses teahouses and shops; you will stay here tonight.

Although Day 7 of your Mera Peak Climbing expedition is a short day’s trek, as the altitude gain is significant, it is recommended that you enjoy a slow-paced adventure and stay hydrated. During the first section of this day’s trek, you will ascend slightly toward the Dig Glacier, from where you will be able to enjoy the stunning views of the Charpate Himal and northern Hinku Glacier. Then from there onwards, you will descend down the trail of the Dig Kharka that will open up wide vistas of Mera Peak, Charpati Himal, and Kyeshar Glacier.

Then, following the upward trail, you will start gradually climbing toward Khare; this beautiful Himalayan settlement is also known as the ‘Mera Base Camp.’ You will find several teahouses after arriving at Khare equipped to support and accommodate the climbers with several trekking equipment outlets. You will rest here tonight; you will be able to enjoy the north face of the Mera Peak and Mera Glacier from here.

After gaining a significant altitude in your Mera Peak Climbing expedition, it is time for you to let your body properly acclimatize to this high-altitude environment. You will spend this entire day properly adapting to the new altitude and take part in the pre-climbing training session conducted by our mountaineering experts. Before your scaling of Mera Peak, on this day, you will be able to test your mountaineering skills like belaying, rappelling, making knots, and using harnesses and other climbing equipment.

Our mountaineering guide will also brief you about the big expedition, helpful tips, and practical knowledge that will come in handy for the expedition. Then, later at the end of the day, there will be a final climbing gear and equipment check as you will start packing for the expedition on the mountain tomorrow. There are also several mountaineering gear rentals at Khare, so you can rent any personal gear you feel like you might need. You will rest again at Khare tonight, preparing for the big adventure tomorrow.

The big adventure you have been waiting for in your Mera Peak Climbing expedition finally commences today. On Day 9 of your expedition, you will start your scaling from the Mera Base Camp (5,300 meters). During the first section of the ascent, you will start off climbing the steep boulder-strewn path on the mountain slopes towards Mera La (5,400) and make your way towards the Mera Glacier. Mera Peak has three summit points, Mera North (6,476 meters), Mera South (6,065 meters), and Mera Central (6,461 meters); following the trail towards the Mera Central, you will push for the Mera High Camp.

Mera Peak, which is also known as the highest trekking peak in Nepal, has a pretty straightforward climbing route; after overcoming the Mera Glacier, you will follow a gradual incline route toward the Mera High Camp. There are no technical climbing segments up to this point, so you will not have to use your mountaineering equipment to overcome these segments. The cold, harsh alpine weather and significant altitude gain can be the only major difficulty of this day’s adventure. After you arrive at the Mera High Camp, you will be comforted with warm drinks and soups prepared by our expedition crew. Then, enjoying the warmth of the tent and a delicious nursing meal, you will settle in for the night, preparing for the summit the next day.

On Day 10 of your Mera Peak Climbing, you will finally push for the summit of Mera Peak. Starting your scaling really early in the morning, you will ascend on the mountain slopes secured by a man-rope with the expedition team for safety reasons. Although Mera Peak is not a very technical mountain, and maneuvering isn’t that difficult, the cold climate and low oxygen saturation do wear your body down. After arriving close to the summit, 40-50 meters part, you will need to use jumars and fixed rope to climb on the steep incline segments of the snowy dome that takes you to the Mera peak’s summit.

By late morning, you will already have summited this magnificent peak in the Himalayas; from the very top of the summit, you will be able to enjoy the glorious massifs in the Khumbu region like Everest, Kanchenjunga, Lhotse, Cho Oyu, Baruntse, Chamlang, Gaurishanker, and several other adjacent peaks. After enjoying the 360° panoramic views of the Himalayas from the summit of the mountain and soaking in its beauty, you will climb down to Mera High Camp.

Then, celebrating your victory at the high camp and recharging your body with a warm, delicious meal, you will start to descend to Khare. You will enjoy the warm comfort of the finest teahouse in the region, celebrating the successful climb and marking the conclusion of your Himalayan exploration.

This is a special day in your Mera Peak Climbing expedition; it is actually a reserved day for any mishaps during the expedition. It is insurance for situations like bad weather, which could potentially affect the scaling, health problems of the members, or any foreseen events that could cancel a day’s worth of the trip. Thus, if the expedition pans out without any issues, this reserved contingency day can be used to make a little bit of a side detour in the Himalayan region or for an extra sightseeing and exploration day at Kathmandu.

After concluding your Himalayan adventure, you will retrace your steps back to Kothe on Day 12 of your Mera Peak Climbing. As it is a gradual descent, it isn’t a hard day of trekking, passing through Tangnang; this is a small settlement with yak farming. As you move along the rugged rocky trail and pass several pasture grounds, then after descending to a significant altitude, you will enter the lush vegetation area where you will be greeted by fir and rhododendron forests; the terraced vegetation at Kothe will also be rewarding after the adventure on glacial moraines and alpine settings of the high Himalayas.

On this day’s adventure, you leave Kothe after breakfast towards Chetarwa. It is a challenging day’s trek as you go down along the steep routes from Kothe, following trails with rhododendron, fir, and bamboo forests. As you reach Chetarwa, enjoy the local hospitality alongside the spectacular views of the surrounding peaks and mountains.

Your Mera Peak Climbing has finally come to an end; Day 14 of your Himalayan exploration will officially mark the end of the adventure in the Everest region. It's a hard day’s trek today as you climb Zatrwa La Pass to descend to Lukla; during the first section, you will follow the rocky segments as you leave the Hinku Khola behind and start a steep climb through a lush rhododendron forest. Passing through the Toktar, small teahouse settlements in the forest, you will keep following the ascending trail until you reach Zatrwa La Pass.

From the vantage point of this pass, you will be able to catch a glimpse of Mera Peak and Naulekh. Then, following the moderate descending path, you will finally arrive at the Lukla Valley, your resting destination tonight.

Concluding your Mera Peak Climbing expedition, on Day 15, you will leave the gateway of Everest via an early morning flight towards Kathmandu. You will be able to enjoy the spectacular views of the Himlayas on your back as you take this short scenic cross-valley flight moving towards the capital.

After landing at Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA), our representative will drop you back at your respective hotels. You can check out the major tourist attractions of the vibrant capital city after getting enough rest or just stroll around the city exploring the cultural aspects and shopping for souvenirs.

Thank you for trusting us with your adventure; we hope to see you again. Have a safe journey back home!
