Mera Peak at (6,470m.) is one of Nepal's highest trekking peaks and its summit panorama takes in 5 of the world's 8000 meter peaks Mt. Kangchenjunga, Mt. Makalu, Lhotse, Mt. Everest and Cho Oyu. Mera Peak Climbing holiday begins with a short and exciting flight to the mountain airstrip at Lukla and continues through the high and beautiful Hinku Valley. Here, our tried and tested program of acclimatisation contributes to an unrivalled success rate on climbing Mera peak.
Although physically very demanding on account of the altitude, the climb on Mera Peak is not technically difficult, ascending snow slopes that rarely exceed 30 degrees. Viewed from the mountain's upper slopes, the sunrise on Mt. Everest and Kangchenjunga, Makalu and Baruntse is truly unforgettable. Mera Peak is the perfect choice for fit and keen hillwalkers looking to take part in a real mountain climbing expedition.
