Overview

Mera Peak Climbing is one of the most exciting peak-climbing adventures in Nepal. At 6,476 meters, Mera Peak is the highest trekking peak in Nepal. But this adventure with Sabbatical Explore Nepal offers much more than simply reaching the summit.

Mera Peak lies in the Khumbu Region, in the Mahalangur section of the Himalayas. This is also the home of some of the world's highest mountains, including Mount Everest, Lhotse, Cho Oyu, and Makalu. During the climb, you will enjoy incredible views of these legendary Himalayan peaks.

Our 17-day Mera Peak Climbing adventure begins and ends in Kathmandu. From Kathmandu, we fly to Lukla and begin our journey through the beautiful Everest region. Along the trail, we pass through traditional villages, suspension bridges, Buddhist monasteries and gompas, prayer flags, stone houses, forests, streams, and peaceful mountain landscapes.

The greatest moment comes when we reach the summit of Mera Peak. From the top, you can see a spectacular panorama of snow-covered mountains, deep valleys, and vast Himalayan landscapes. At that moment, all the walking, climbing, and hard work feels worthwhile.

But Mera Peak is not only about climbing a mountain. It is also a chance to experience the natural beauty, local culture, spirituality, and mountain life of the Khumbu region.

You do not need to be an expert climber to join this adventure. Mera Peak is a trekking peak with some basic technical sections. Good physical fitness, experience with high-altitude trekking, and basic knowledge of climbing equipment such as crampons and an ice axe are important.

For beginners who want to gain their first Himalayan climbing experience, Mera Peak can also be a great choice with proper preparation, training, and guidance.

Join Sabbatical Explore Nepal for an unforgettable Mera Peak adventure. Let’s plan your journey to the summit together.

Itinerary

As you finish your arrival formalities, we will meet at the airport for your warm welcome. We’ll drive to the hotel in Kathmandu for check-in and rest. You will get refreshed for a welcome dinner scheduled in the evening. We will host the dinner where you will get to know the entire team behind Sabbatical Explore Nepal and about the expedition as well. Overnight in Kathmandu.

We will have one extra day in Kathmandu for trek preparation and sightseeing. Our team will arrange things for the trek. At the same time, we’ll just explore Kathmandu’s major cultural heritage sites. We’ll visit Pashupatinath Temple, Bouddhanath Stupa, Swaymbhunath Stupa, Kathmandu Durbar Square, and some more if time allows. This walk around the UNESCO world heritage sites will be notable ones. Overnight in Kathmandu.

In the morning, we’ll catch a scenic flight to Lukla. Enjoying the Himalayas all along, we’ll land in Lukla Airport to start the trek to Paiya village. Our walk will begin through a forested trail. Slowly, we’ll move ahead to cross several suspension bridges to reach Surke Village for a short stop. Then we continue the trek, an ascending trek this time, to cross Chutok La Pass. We’ll enjoy mountain vistas from this pass before finally descending to Paiya(Chutok) Village. Overnight in Paiya.

From Paiya, we’ll descend quickly to reach a river with a small bridge. The path ahead is a little bit slippery until we reach and cross Kari La Pass. We’ll pass through bamboo and rhododendron trees on a rough trail en route. We’ll enter Dudhkoshi Valley today and enjoy its sereness. In this way, we’ll finally reach Panggom, a terraced field hamlet. Overnight in Panggom.

After breakfast, we’ll leave the farm fields of Panggom. The path will soon lead us to another pass, Panggom La Pass. There will be more mountain vistas to watch. Following, we’ll ascend on a steady path to head towards the north. We’ll reach Peseng Kharka Khola to cross it and reach Peeng Kharka Danda in a while. And on our final stretch for the day, we’ll cross Ningsow Khola to reach Ningsow. Overnight in NIngsow.

Today is one of the longest trekking days of Mera Peak Climbing. We’ll leave Ningsow behind by descending from the village to start the day. Then we climb for a while to reach Ramailo Danda, a point from where we will see Mera Peak. Continuing the trek, we’ll come to enter Makalu Barun National Park. After the entrance, we’ll trek on a trail named Pasang Lhamu Trai. The route finishes in Chhatra Khola, where we end up for the day.

Now we will trek toward Kothe. This is from where we’ll be on the main trail of Mera Peak Climbing. The trek will continue by the sides of Majang Khola; we’ll enjoy the sound of the river. Next, our trail confluences with a trail that follows Hinku Khola. Soon later, we’ll reach Tashing Ongma, a place with tea shops. We’ll stop for a tea break. And, following that, we’ll reach Kothe after crossing Sanu Khola via a bridge. Overnight in Kothe.

We woke up to the view of Mera Peak in Kothe. Then, we’ll trek along a ridge enjoying the sights of the peak. After a trek of 2 hours, we’ll reach Gondishung, a temporary herders’ village. We’ll eat our lunch at the place before we pass Lungsumgba Gompa, an ancient gompa. And some more hours of trek will take us to Thaknak. Overnight in Thaknak.

After a lovely sleep in Thaknak, we’ll move towards Thaknak. We’ll walk on the Dig Glacier’s lateral moraine first. Throughout the walk, we’ll enjoy breathtaking angles of Charpate Himal. Later, the trail reaches the moraines of other glaciers and ultimately comes Khare. It is a short trekking day to get Khare quiet before the evening. So we’ll explore the Khare village and places around. Overnight in Khare.

We’ll not leave Khare yet. We’ll spend an acclimatization day to get accustomed to the region’s high elevation. Also, we’ll use the day to do prior training for the climb ahead. Our climbing team will train you to use rope, ice axes, boots, crampons, and other climbing gear. It will be an important day of the Mera Peak Climbing Itinerary. Overnight in Khare.

The big day is here, starting climbing towards Mera High Camp. We’ll start the day’s climb from a boulder scattered region to the Mera Peak Base Camp. We’ll move ahead Mera La Pass via a rough and snowy trail to reach Mera High Camp through the base camp. We have to be careful around here as there are a few crevasses. We’ll overcome all the sections and safely reach the high camp. Our team will settle a camp for all of us. Overnight in Mera High Camp.

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. Yet, we’ll reach the height where the air is thin. From a bit of up, we’ll view the summit point already. We may use fixed roped on our climbing lead’s call to step on the summit. And at last, we’ll be on the pinpoint of Mera Peak to watch breathtaking mountain vistas of various popular peaks. We’ll enjoy the view to the fullest. Later, we’ll descend back to Khare via the same route. Overnight in Khare.

Now it is the start of the Kathmandu-coming trek. We’ll retrace the same trail to reach Kothe after a trek of 4-5hrs. To do that, we’ll cross Thangnak on the way along with a dotted forest. The hike back to Kothe is easy; the trail is mostly descending. We’ll reach Kothe comfortably. Overnight in Kothe.

After breakfast, we’ll leave Thuli Kharka. Today, we’ll retrace the same Inku Khola-sided trail. Several chortens will also come along. We’ll pass via the forested trail to direct us to the western part of Hinku Valley. After the trek of 5-6 hours, we’ll reach Thuli Kharka. We’ll spend a lovely evening in the place enjoying the mountains. Overnight in Thuli Kharka.

Here we begin our trek to Lukla, the last trekking day of the Mera Peak Climbing itinerary. We will leave Thuli Kharka to cross Zatra La Pass(4,600m). We’ll enjoy glimpses of Lukla and adjoining peaks like Numbur Himal, Kusum Khangru, Kongde Peak, and more from the pass. Off the pass, we’ll trek via Chutan to reach Lukla in the evening. Overnight in Lukla.

We leave Lukla and the Everest Region for Kathmandu on a morning flight. We will enjoy beautiful views through our windows. The 40 minutes flight will land in Kathmandu to conclude the journey. We transfer to the hotel in Kathmandu. The rest will be free time to explore the city and shop. Overnight in Kathmandu.
