FAQs

Q1. Where is Mera Peak?

Mera Peak (6476m), which is located in the Mahalangur portion of Nepal's Sagarmatha Zone, Solukhumbu District, and Makalu Barun National Park, is reputed to be the highest allowed trekking peak in the world. It is located east of the main Everest mountain in the Himalayan region of Mahalangur.

 

The primary day of your climb is Summit Day. It will undoubtedly be a difficult, demanding, lengthy, yet equally gratifying day. Depending on the conditions on the mountain, we begin the ascent as early as two or three in the morning. Depending on the climber, the ascent will typically take 10 to 14 hours.

Despite Mera Peak's elevation of 6476 meters, the climb only requires a fundamental understanding of mountaineering techniques and is a straightforward glacier trip. It's a peak with a moderate degree of technical difficulty, but getting to the top requires a lengthy, arduous climb and caution on the way down, which passes through moraines, ice fields, snowfields, and glaciers. A climber must be physically fit and mentally prepared to handle challenging circumstances at a high altitude in order to make it to High Camp (summit night).

 

Island Peak and Mera Peak each have their own unique characteristics that make them ideal for peak climbing in Nepal. There are some notable variations between Mera Peak and Island Peak climbing. Island Peak is somewhat higher than Mera Peak and is considered slightly more challenging due to its steeper ice climbs. Island Peak may be climbed without any prior mountaineering experience, whereas Mera may necessitate basic mountaineering abilities as well as some technical expertise.

In the end, the ascending segment at Island Peak is more difficult than that at Mera Peak. However, the climb up to Mera Peak's base camp is more difficult than that of Island Peak. In addition, the trail to Island Peak Base Camp is significantly busier than the trail to Mera Peak Base Camp.

Porter allows for a maximum of about 25 KG in luggage. We will supply one porter for each pair of hikers. The weight limit for the flight to Lukla is up to 10 kg. Excess fees apply for taking additional baggage.

 

Mera Peak can be reached through three main passes. Here are the other approaches to Mera Peak:

  • Route 1 for Climbing Mera Peak: over Zawtra La Pass (4610m)
  • Route 2 for Climbing Mera Peak: Paiya, Pangom, and Ramailo Danda
  • Route 3 for Climbing Mera Peak: Cholem Kharka, Khola Kharka, and Panch Pokhari.

Before our summit attempt on Mera Peak, we will spend one night at Base Camp and another at High Camp. We'll head back to Khare that evening. In case of inclement weather or for any other reason, we will have one reserve day. In that scenario, High Camp will be our home for another night.

 

The important thing is to adapt. We strongly advise giving the trail enough time. Strength and endurance training, physical preparation, familiarity with multi-day hikes, and prior trekking experience above 4000m are all recommended before you begin your walk back home. The proper tools and equipment are also essential. Having said that, we will offer the greatest logistics and assistance during your journey, and our knowledgeable, seasoned, and amiable Sherpa guides will be there to give you guys the best opportunity of reaching the summit.

Of course! We urge you to enter this isolated area with adequate insurance coverage. It is advised to purchase travel insurance that includes emergency evacuation, injuries, lost baggage, liability, and medical care. All of the activities that you will be engaged in while in Nepal must be covered by insurance. Depending on your coverage, we can arrange the proper medical response.

The Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA) issues climbing permits for trekking peaks that provide the climber permission to attempt the climb on a certain peak or route. A climbing permit is required for Mera Peak. The cost of the package includes the climbing permit, which we will organize together with the transportation service.

 

 

Your personal equipment needed for the climb up Mera Peak can be managed by us. We can also suggest a few reputable retailers where you can rent or purchase quality down coats or sleeping bags.

 

The time required to climb Mera Peak can vary depending on various factors, including the climber's fitness level, prior mountaineering experience, weather conditions, and the chosen route. Mera Peak is one of the highest trekking peaks in Nepal, standing at an elevation of 6,476 meters (21,247 feet). Generally, it takes around 15 to 20 days for a complete Mera Peak expedition, including acclimatization and trekking to and from the mountain.

Even though Mera Peak is thought to be less technically challenging than other summits in the Everest region, climbing it has inherent risks and difficulties. One of the risks climbers may encounter is altitude sickness. 

Other risks include the requirement for fundamental climbing skills and unexpected weather. Through careful acclimatization and monitoring, the risk of altitude sickness can be reduced. Weather which is unpredictable, such as storms and avalanches, can be dangerous. The risks are also increased by the remote location and limited resources. It is advised to climb with an experienced guide, get the correct instruction, carry the required equipment, and be ready for emergencies in order to ensure safety.

The autumn and spring seasons in Nepal (April to May and September to November) are the best times to climb Mera Peak. The best weather and climbing conditions are present during these months, which feature constant temperatures, vibrant skies, and generally dry circumstances.

The climbing route gets easier to reach throughout the spring as the weather progressively warms up and the snow starts to melt. The days are longer, giving climbers enough of daylight and beautiful vistas of the surroundings.

Another popular time for climbing Mera Peak is in the autumn. Generally speaking, the weather is stable, with warm temperatures and good visibility. The post-monsoon season, which falls in the autumn months, is also when the sky is typically clearer following the rainy season, providing breathtaking vistas of the mountains.

It is essential to have the appropriate gear when getting ready to climb Mera Peak in order to assure your safety and comfort in the demanding mountain environment. The list of the necessary equipment to think about bringing is as follows. 

  1. Pack warm and moisture-wicking socks, gaiters to keep snow out of your boots, sturdy, insulated mountaineering boots, thermal base layers, thermal tops and bottoms, fleece jackets, down jackets, waterproof and windproof outer shells, trekking pants, thermal gloves, mittens, warm hats, and a balaclava. 
  2. Crampons that fit your boots, an ice ax, a climbing harness, a helmet, and mountaineering footwear that can accommodate crampons are all considered to be part of the climbing equipment. A 50- to 70-liter backpack, a sleeping bag for extreme weather, trekking poles, UV-protective sunglasses, a headlamp with extra batteries, water bottles or a hydration system, a personal first aid kit, high-SPF sunscreen, lip balm, and any high-altitude medications prescribed by a doctor are additional necessities. 
  3. Technical gear like ropes, carabiners, prusik loops, ascenders, and descenders could also be necessary if not provided by the trekking company. Pack your equipment in an orderly, moisture-resistant manner. Remember that the trekking company might offer or rent out any technical equipment. For thorough equipment advice customized to your unique climb and the present weather, speak with knowledgeable trekking firms or guides.

Yes, you can customize the itinerary of Mera Peak Climbing to fit your needs and interests. The ability to create customized itineraries is frequently provided by trekking companies and guides.  It is suggested that you include rest days and gentle ascents to let your body acclimate to the altitude because proper acclimatization is essential. The choice of season is essential because different seasons bring different weather and resource availability. Although customization is feasible within a season, it's important to make sure the time period chosen is conducive to climbing.

Mera Peak 2022

Seda Gules,Turkey

That was my second trip with footprint adventure. And it won't be my last. Thank you so much for this professional organization- again. Also a big thanks to my guide Nima and my porter. Both were very nice and helpful. It was a hard journey, but it was worth it. Beautiful views and kind people in the guest houses. Unforgettable. The hotel Kumari in Kathmandu is for me a super choice. It’s centrally located and you can do a lot of great things on foot. The owner and the staff were always very friendly. Hope to see you next year!

Successful Mera Peak Climb in Nepal

Hesam N,Germany

This was my second trip with Footprint Adventure, this time to summit Mera Peak. From the very beginning, I felt I was in knowledgeable and experienced hands. Madhav's communication was quick and his suggestions enriched our tour very much.
The two Sherpa - Nima and Lakpa - were very seasoned and had a couple of 8000ers under their belt. Nevertheless, they brought a lot of cracking jokes to our little group, choosing excellent lodges and making the whole trip very pleasant.
I am looking forward to booking my next tour with Footprint Adventure next year. They are excellent in managing and customizing the trips according to you needs and requirements. 

Highly recommended!

Mera Peak Climb in 2019

Mathew Hu,Italy

In December 2019 I had the chance of climbing Mera Peak, normally such experiences are hard to plan, but I was lucky enough to talk to Madhav, who was fully available to reply to all of my questions anytime. 
Madhav is fully engaged with his work and is always available to help us anyway before, during, and after the climbing.  He will give you the entire confidence that every detail will be thought of so that your trip becomes as comfortable as possible. We meet Neema, a friendly and experienced climbing guide from Lukla, who motivate us to push up to the summit of Mera. 
As I was on a Gap year trip I had no climbing gear at all, even that was arranged by Footprint Team. For the trekking and amazing adventure activity, I highly recommend this team for your assistance. 
It was the trip of a lifetime
