18 days Mera Peak Climbing Overview

There’s nothing impossible in front of human aspirations and will power. No mountain is tall when a human being put its effort to conquer it! Interestingly, if such mountain is comparatively easier to climb then it should be grabbed by both hands. Yes, the Mera Peak Climbing is considered as the easiest mountain to climb in Nepal. The Nepal Trekking Rangers has knitted the engaging and safe trekking plus climbing itinerary of the Mera Peak in consultation with the Sherpa guides and mountaineers. We give you the best, short, and updated itinerary in the most reasonable cost. 

Mera Peak: Nepal’s tallest permitted trekking peak

Nepal is blessed by the presence of countless snow – clad mountains including the world’s tallest mountain Mt. Everest. In addition, the country is also the home of 8 mountains out of 14 mountains which are in the club of eight thousanders. However, climbing these mountains above 8000 m require immense experience and training. So, the mountains below 7000 m are the best mountains to quench your thirst of reaching the top of the mountain. Here is an ideal mountain to start your journey of mountaineering. The tallest trekking peak of Nepal – Mera Peak is going to be the most interesting mountain to climb. 
The peak boasts an amazing height of 6476 m and offers breathtaking scenery of mountains like Kanchenjunga, Makalu, Lhotse, Everest, etc. Don’t miss out on this epic journey to the top of the Nepal’s tallest trekking peak. The mountain was first climbed by the British Expedition group led by Jimmy Roberts and Sen Tenzing back in 1953. 

Different Trekking routes to Mera Peak

The climbing route to the Mera Summit is same but the trekking route to the base camp of the mountain is different. You can find lots of different routes to do the Mera Peak trekking in Nepal. However, the most popular and the shortest route to the base camp is the route of Zatrawala Pass. Our trekking itinerary is from this route. There are two more ways to do the trek. Some trekkers prefer to do the Mera Circuit Trek via Paiya Pangomm which is longer as well. If you wish to do the road trip instead of the Lukla Flight, then you can take the route of Khari Khola via Salleri. 

Do I need to do mountaineering training before Climbing Mera? Is it possible for beginner to climb Mera Peak?

Well, technically you don’t need any kinds of training or mountaineering courses before climbing the mountain. In fact, the mountain is considered as an ideal peak to climb for novice climbers. Please note that the Nepal Trekking Rangers has conducted several climbing adventures to the family with kids of age 10 and 14. It means that if you are active and regularly do various exercises every day, then you can surely do the climb despite zero experience on mountaineering. 
You don’t need any kinds of formal training before the climbing. Once you reach the Khare Village (the last village on the Mera Peak Trekking Route); the climbing crew members will provide you basic techniques training. You get to know about how to handle ice axe, climbing with the help of rope and crampons. In addition, you will also acclimatize fully before heading to the top of the mountain. A day’s training during the acclimatization day is enough to climb Mera Peak (6476 m). 

Khare to Mera Peak Summit Route Information

After the acclimatization day in the Khare Village (5045 m), climbers head towards the Mera High Camp (5800 m). The starting phase of the trekking between Khare Village and Mera Base Camp is uphill through rocky boulders and it is the point that we start to feel the gigantic height of the mountain. The view of the Khare Village and the valleys looks spectacular while ascending. Beyond the Mera Base Camp, climbers have to use the crampons. The trail to the Mera High Camp is scenic and steep uphill through mass of snow. 
There are few crevasses caused due to climate change on this section. The location of the Mera High Camp is in so interesting spot with the rocks around and massive wall of snow at the background. The route to the top is through open space of snow. It seems the trail is of the snowy meadow!

Autumn is best for clear vistas. Autumn is one of the finest and most loved seasons since it provides crystal clear Himalayan vistas.

  • The best guides in Nepal!

    Nepal Trekking Rangers was phenomenal. Yuddha and his team were communicative, organized, and fairly priced. When our flight to Kathmandu was delayed, Yuddha met us at the airport and ensured we made our connection to Lukla without issue.

    On the Three Passes trek, Yuddha was exceptional — attentive, flexible, and fun (he taught us Nepali card games we played nonstop). Thanks to Nepal Trekking Rangers, this truly was a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

  • Trek with Nepal Trekking experts if you are going to Nepal!

    I just finished the Everest Base Camp trek with Nepal Trekking Rangers and would 100% recommend them to anyone coming to Nepal.

    Yuddha, the owner, is a true professional. From the beginning when I contacted him, he was super responsive and able to provide advice on which trek was best. Whenever I had follow-up questions, he would always respond the same day. They also operate with the utmost integrity. Originally, I was meant to trek with them in 2020, but this was cancelled because of Covid. Yuddha reminded me that I had paid the deposit five years ago (which at the time I had told him to hold on to) and took that off the price — I had completely forgotten.

    They gave me a warm welcome at the airport as soon as I arrived, and Yuddha met me at my hotel to make sure I had the correct kit, even providing me with things I didn’t have free of charge.

    On the trek itself, Yuddha was our guide — so knowledgeable, fun, and spoke great English. Every time I asked him a question about the mountains or region, he had an answer. All the tea houses booked were great and had good food. In the evening, he would play cards with us, and if we ever needed help with anything, he was always on hand.

    Words can’t describe the views you see on this trek — we were completely surrounded by the mountains. Yuddha also made sure we went at a sensible pace to avoid any risk of altitude sickness and to ensure we could take it all in.

    Overall, it was an experience of a lifetime, and next time I am back in Nepal, I will be trekking with Nepal Trekking Rangers.

    Thanks so much, Yuddha!

  • Perfekter Trek zum Everest Basecamp

    We have nothing but positive things to say about our trek with Nepal Trekking Rangers! Our group of three friends was looking for something a little different from the EBC trek and didn’t have time to do the full Three Passes loop. Nepal Trekking Rangers gave us lots of options, and we decided to trek directly to Gokyo Lakes, then over Renjo La and back down to Lukla. It was perfect for us.

    Our guide, Yuddha, was super knowledgeable, and the team supporting us was kind and helpful throughout. The communication before and after the trek was excellent, and when we ran into a small snag during our journey, Yuddha handled it smoothly and professionally.

    I can’t say enough about how experienced, well-connected, and genuinely kind everyone was. We had an amazing trip, and you’ll be in great hands with Nepal Trekking Rangers.

  • Great Himalay experience

    Hiked the Three Passes trek with Nepal Trekking Rangers and our guide Yuddha. He was a fantastic guide to have on this trek — knowledgeable, professional, and a great match for our group. I’ll be happy to use their services again on our next Himalaya adventure.

  • Incredible Three Passes Trek Experience!

    We had an incredible time on our Three Passes trek (and during our whole visit to Nepal) thanks to Nepal Trekking Rangers! I researched trekking guides thoroughly before we started our trip and probably reached out to 15 of them. I decided Nepal Trekking Rangers was the best in terms of reviews, ease of communication, and price. After the trip was complete, I can confidently say I was right to choose them.

    We had a specific itinerary in mind that needed to fit our schedule, and Yuddha was extremely helpful and accommodating. He answered all our questions promptly during planning and provided extra info, tips, and advice that we wouldn’t have known to ask about. When our international flight to Nepal was delayed by 12 hours, he pulled out all the stops to make sure we still made it to Lukla on time — coming to the airport himself with all the gear we rented, helping us repack into their duffel bags, and storing our suitcases at their office. It was incredibly convenient, and we would have been hugely delayed without his extra effort. He even brought Nepalese rupees to exchange from our USD so we wouldn’t waste time at the airport — and at a better rate!

    Our guide, Yuddha, was clearly one of the best we saw on the trails. His decades of experience showed. He was kind, attentive, knowledgeable, and a lot of fun. He helped us navigate the chaos of Lukla airport, made sure we got the best possible accommodations within our budget, communicated with tea house staff, showed us local plants, animals, and landmarks, and answered all our “Which mountain is this?” questions with patience and insight. He told us amazing stories, taught us a Nepali card game that became a nightly tradition, and kept us safe and confident through tricky sections like Chukhung Ri, glacier crossings, and the steep descents from the passes.

    When we decided mid-trip to skip an acclimatization day in Dingboche, Yuddha quickly rebooked all our accommodations to adjust the schedule. That flexibility allowed us to return to Kathmandu a day early and enjoy more time in the city — a perfect ending to the trek.

    Nepal Trekking Rangers clearly employs some of the best in the business, and Yuddha is incredibly skilled and dedicated to making sure guests have an unforgettable experience. After the trek, we visited his office in Kathmandu to share our experience, and he was a warm and gracious host, eager to hear our feedback — which was all glowing.

    This was a truly memorable trip, and we’re so glad we chose Nepal Trekking Rangers.
