Mera Peak Climbing Aggressive – 18 Days

The summit of Mera Peak (6,461m/21,190ft) which is the highest trekking peak in Nepal. Ascend Mera Peak preferably during the spring and autumn seasons as it’s the best time to climb the mountain for its astonishing views of the Himalayan Vista. Five 8,000m peaks are visible from the summit including Everest, Lhotse, Cho Oyu, Makalu, and Kanchenjunga. Alpine Club of Himalaya organized its first climbing trip to Mera Peak in 1992. Our itinerary is carefully designed with steady ascent and a separate day set aside in Khare to allow plenty of time for acclimatization. The usual route to Mera Peak is direct via the Zatra La Pass, but we follow the route that heads south from Lukla and up the beautiful Hinku Valley and later returns via Zatra La pass. Following this route has a few advantages. We not only pass through the beautiful Nepalese wilderness but also through quaint villages which will give us a glimpse into the rich culture of the locals. Additionally, since the route is longer, it’s better for acclimatization. This is an excellent option for anyone with moderate mountaineering experience. It is a challenging trekking peak due to its elevation, but the technical mountaineering skills requirement is very basic. Besides, Alpine Club of Himalaya’s seasoned Sherpa guide will provide us with basic mountaineering training before the actual summit.
