Overview

"Join us on an unforgettable trip to Mera Peak – one of the ‘most popular trekking peaks’ in Nepal. Conveniently located in the Barun region, the climb can be easily combined with a trekking tour of the region."

Mera Peak (6654m) lies within the Everest Region and is one of the most popular trekking peaks in Nepal. The summit offers a stunning vista of five 8000m peaks: Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Cho Oyu, Makalu, and Kanchenjunga. Several other beautiful peaks and mountains can also be viewed from the summit – of course, weather permitting.

The route from the north is suitable even for climbers with less experience. However, it involves traversing a glacier at a high altitude. The western ascent, as well as the south face, is more difficult and suitable for experienced climbers. Due to climate change, the conditions on the summit block have become more difficult over the years. Nevertheless, the normal route is still reasonably straightforward with minimal technical difficulties (F/PD). The main obstacle is the proper acclimatization to the altitude. You can rely on us to carefully design the schedule for optimal acclimatization. Though Mera Peak is one of the highest trekking peaks in Nepal, it would also be suitable for a climber visiting the Himalayas for the first time given a sufficient level of physical fitness. Ken hill walkers with some experience using crampons and ice-ax are well suited for this adventure. We are happy to offer you advice if you have any doubts or require any tips for your preparations.

Snowy Horizon offers you a full board package including the climbing permit from the NMA and all other necessary logistics form arrival in Kathmandu up to your departure. We organize your accommodation in Kathmandu as well as throughout your trek, our cooks freshly prepare you nutritious meals throughout the climbing period and experienced and professional trekking and climbing guides accompany you on the trek as well as the climb. In addition, we can organize any sightseeing in and around Kathmandu. Upon your request, we can also offer only base camp service (including the climbing permit) where the climber may arrange all required logistics for any part of the climb above base camp.

The package can be flexibly adjusted to your requirements. Feel free to contact us at any time for suggestions and advice. We’d be happy to take you on this adventure.

It varies for different peaks and weather condition. Generally most of trekking peaksrequire one or two days to summit from the basecamp. The access time varies also and depends on peak location and peak elevation.

During the access trek you will be accommodated in a lodge/teahouse; once in the basecamp you will be assigned a tent and your climbing Sherpa will prepare high altitude food; all your climbing gear and food for the climb will be carried by the porter up to the base camp.

There are no restrictions to obtain climbing permit and anyone with appropriate fitness and skills can attempt a peak climbing. Climbing difficulty varies for different mountains and routes. Non-technical climbs can be attempted by a fit trekker with little or no climbing experience. For technical climbs one needs to have an appropriate level of climbing experience.

It depends on the Trekking Peak. There is a variety of peaks available ranging from non-technical through easy technical to difficult and very difficult technical routes.

It all depends on the area with most of the trekking routeshaving local VHF Phones; increasingly more places get mobile coverage of varied capacity; in remote communication is not available or very limited so the only option would be a satellite phone.

There is always first time for everything including peak climbing. There are non-technical peaks, which can be climbed safely by a fit trekker and even slightly technical peaks can be attempted by a novice climber with a professional climbing guide.
