Mera Peak Climbing is one of the finest peak climbs in Nepal. The first reason is the peak is the tallest trekking peak in Nepal. However, this excursion by Sabbatical Explore Nepal is extra special for more reasons. Let’s unknot them together.
Mera Peak(6,461m) lies in Nepal’s Khumbu Region’s Mahalangur section, the home to four eight-thousanders Everest, Lhotse, Cho Oyu, and Makalu. What a climb it is! Subtly, you will enjoy some of Earth’s iconic mountains closely. As mentioned earlier, Mera Peak Climbing is the highest trekking peak expedition in Nepal. So you will also live the achievement of summiting the highest of its kind by climbing Mera Peak.
Moreover, the expedition, altogether, lasts for 16 days, starting and ending in Kathmandu. Through Lukla, it progresses via Everest Region’s terrains to the chilly top of Mera Peak. We will come across many suspension bridges, countless prayer flags, monasteries, gompas, traditional stone houses, lush vegetation, streams, and more.
Ultimately, reaching the top of Mera Peak, we’ll rush with joy overlooking the peaks and the serene view. Numerous big and small mountains, vast valleys, broad landscapes, and more are observable from the top. All the climbs and ascends will make sense there. Therefore, you will not just climb a mountain but explore the region’s cultural and natural gifts. But how can you do this?
Well, you don’t have to be an expert climber. Mera Peak is a trekking peak with primary technical sections. So if you know how to use alpine gears like Ice-axes and crampons, if you are good at trekking in the high elevations, you are more than welcome to this Mera Peak Climbing with us. Even if you are a beginner looking for a place to gain climbing experience, this is the right place.

Day 12: Summit Day and Back to Khare
The biggest is here, the day when we’ll finally step on the summit of the tallest trekking peak in Nepal. We’ll wake up at 2 in the morning to approach Mera Peak. The weather will be extreme, but we’ll continue onto an unusual ridge through the glacier. Up to this point, there is no such technical section demanding.

We had a great time with Shiva and his team, from being picked up from the airport to being dropped off there, everything was just perfect! We had "culture tour and a trip to Shaman Village" Hiking. Got to see many cultural sites around Kathmandu and was an incredible experience in monastery visiting monks. The program was great and fantastic as far as we wanted away from the tourist crowds, all accommodations were good. It’s really a great opportunity to explore Nepal as local. The “TeamSabbatical” were very helpful and friendly as well. When we have a questions or a problem can find someone on the spot immediately to find a answer and solve it. We highly recommend the trip Meet the Monks with Boudhanath Stupa tour, and the Kathmandu Cultural tour together.

Chitwan Jungle Safari was a great experience with good value for money. We hired the Car from Kathmandu and stayed for 02 Nights. Our trip was well organized with good service on time. It was rainy and animals were scarce but the driver and Guide worked hard to spot them for us. 01-hour canoeing ride in the middle of hundreds of Crocodiles & Gharial followed by Elephant Breeding Center was an amazing experience. Our Jeep Safari of 04 hrs of continuous rides on the main Jungle was quite a good experience. The excitement level goes up when any kind of Wildlife creature is spotted. We saw Peacock, One Horn Rhino, and different species of Birds but with no luck Royal Bengal Tiger missed out. Overall it was a lovely and memorable experience with good Food and will highly recommend this tour. The best season would be in Winter with good Nature.

“I had a lot of fun on this trek. We had a seven days trek to Langtang from Kathmandu. My guide Sabin karki was super awesome. He was motivating, fun, and the perfect companion for the given situation. I am more than happy with the service provided on this trip. They organized the whole trek in a way that allowed me to both acclimatize progressively and enjoy the Langtang valley beauty. I had a blast and had the time of my life. Thank you so much, Sabbatical Explore Nepal, and Sabin karki for making this trip possible :).”
