Mera Peak Climbing is one of the most popular climbing adventures in the Himalaya. Thousands of peak climbers aim to reach the top of Mera Peak (6,476m) every year. The beautiful mountain stands amidst the vast range of mountains in the Everest region.
Although it is not a long climbing expedition like Everest Expedition, it gives you the thrill of climbing a snow-capped mountain. The climbing peaks in Nepal are below 7000 meters and they are popular as trekking peaks. Since climbing these peaks is not highly technical stuff like the Manaslu Expedition and such, it is much an easier climbing adventure.
What you see during Mera Peak Climbing Adventure
Mera Peak is in the Everest region of the Himalaya. It involves a trekking adventure to the base camp of the peak and then a day of climbing adventure to the top and return. The trek starts in Lukla on a different trail than the one to the Everest Base Camp. After a few days of traversing a peaceful trail through the Hinku valley takes you to the base camp of Mera Peak.
The actual climbing activity is just a day adventure. You can make it to the summit of the peak and back to base camp on the same day. Although you will need to have some basic skills of climbing, you will not need to go on the extreme technical skills like in the mountaineering expeditions.
Trekking through a quiet trail towards the base camp offers an incredible chance to be in nature and mountain wilderness. The view of magnificent mountains in the surroundings along the trail is simply breathtaking. Standing at the top of Mera Peak and looking around in the mountainous surroundings is an unmatchable experience.

Security for our clients is always a foremost priority for us. All our guides and other support crew are carefully chosen for your trips. Our guides hold licenses issued by the Nepal Government. They are very honest and reliable. But we would also advise you to take care of your own personal belongings. If you are on ‘camping treks’ please do not leave your bags unattended at any time for your own safety. Take your main bag inside the tent once you reach the campsite. At night, all bags and belongings are kept in the middle of the tent. Your guide assigns a Sherpa on a rotation basis to guard the campsite throughout the night. If you are on a ‘Tea house or GAP trek’ arrangement, you will be sleeping in local teahouses. You need to take sensible precautions yourself at all times. Never leave your baggage unattended and keep your lodge room locked when you go out.

An incredible journey!
A must for anyone looking to summit a peak and wanting to take the time to experience jungles, bamboo forests, the rocky valley floors, before moving up to the Mera glacier. Highly recommend. Thank you Nepal climbing team!

Trek to Mera peak - Nepal
The trek was organised by Nepal Climbing Adventure. Mr. Krishna Subedi (Chris) was very helpful and professional in providing services and was extremely helpful. Our guide Mr. Mingma Sherpa was excellent guide during 12 days trip. Our porter Mr Umesh Rai was outstanding . We owe our success in summitting to above mentioned people. The trek was strenuous but enjoyable. The selection of Tea houses by Nepal Climbing Adventure were excellent and they provided all basic amenities under very challenging weather conditions . I highly recommend Nepal Climbing Adventure. Keep continuing the good work.

Mera Peak Trekking and Summit
I did the Mera Peak trekking over 15 days, organized by Nepal Climbing Adventure. Mr. Krishna Subedi (Kris) is the manager of the organization. He is a very good co-ordinator, puts you immediately on whatsapp when you arrive, and keeps following up your trekking and summit experience. When there were small problems, he immediately took action and contacted the right people. My guide Mr. Neyma Sherpa was also very helpfull and an excellent guide. The trek itself was very enjoyable. The Tea houses were very good and they were very flexible when i prefered another teahouse than the one they already booked. I really recommend Nepal Climbing Adventure! A few extra things to keep in mind: - The month May used to be the best month for Mera Peak but we had a lot of rain... May-be April or October is becoming better now... - Listen to your guide at all times and don't go up to fast. The trekking is also about acclimatizing. Sometimes you need that extra day at 4000m... - Take a portable solar panel with you and a power bank. (min 12W, 20W is better). It will pay itself back. You pay a lot in the teahouses to get your phone charged (a lot of them also use solar power). - I personally prefer not to rent climbing gear but to take my own. I always hike and climb with the same pair of C boots with semi-automatic crampons. My C boots are big enough to wear 2 pair of socks if necessary. My smartwhool socks were warm enough on the summit day (-10 to -15 °C) - Take a porter. They are not expensive and your hiking comfort will increase a lot. - Don't forget to use sunscreen, especially on the summit day when you leave at 2 am in the dark and you're not thinking about the sun at that time. - Make sure you are in excellent physical shape. After the summit, you will need 3 more days to get to Lukla.

Great climbing experience!!
Did Mera Peak, Amphu Lapcha La pass, and Island Peak with Nepal Climbing Adventure and it was great! Very good communication leading up to the start of the trip. Both Chris and Khum (owners) made sure that everything was arranged for a successful and memorable trip. They showed flexibility, helped in creating the best itinerary and really delivered on this awesome experience. Best part about it is that they are 24/7 available for questions or other things to discuss. I was also very pleased with their guide selection for the trip. Would highly recommend anyone who wants to go trekking or climbing in Nepal to do it with Nepal Climbing Adventure.

FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE
It's been my 5th trek in Nepal with Nepal Climbing Adventures and I cannot say enough how Khum, Krisna and their teams have been very professional all the way through, from the conception of each trek to small details that make a big difference along the journey. My last trek in Mera peak and Everest region was extraordinary and my guide and porter did everything to make this strenuous trek as pleasant and memorable as possible. I highly recommend booking your Nepal next trip with Kris and Khum !
