Trekking in Nepal

Mera Peak is the highest of the permitted Trekking Peaks in Nepal accessible to people with no mountaineering experience. Mera Peak offers some of the most stunning mountain scenery, immaculate forest, and high altitude climbing in the world.

During the Mera Peak climbing , we will have excellent views of Makalu, Everest, Lhotse and other spectacular peaks. Lukla is the staring point of Mera peak. Mera Peak is not technically difficult, climbing snow slopes that rarely exceed 30 degrees. The amazing sunrise on Mount Everest and Kangchenjunga, as we slowly ascend to Mera's summit, is one of Nepal's most spectacular vantage points and the main spectacular and panoramic view which we can get from Mera Peak.

Mera peak is a great trek and climb in an ancient land where Sherpas still graze yaks, cook on yak dung fires and live a very simple life. Mera peak trek or climb is the perfect trip for the mountaineer who wants to make the most of their Himalayan adventure by living in a unique culture and climbing in traditional Himalayan alpine style. The walk from Lukla through the Sherpa regions of the remote Inkhu valley is an unforgettable experience.
