Route Description

Your Mera Peak climbing adventure starts as you land in Kathmandu, Nepal. You explore Kathmandu and enjoy the vibrant markets. After taking a scenic mountain flight to Lukla, your Mera Peak climbing journey starts officially. Enjoy the aerial view from the flight and get a magnificent view of the great Himalayas. 

When you arrive at Lukla, you start trekking to Paiya. You will be walking through the dense forest and beautiful trail, trekking towards Pangoom, and then heading to Ningsow, and then to Chhatra Khola, and then to Kothe. The trekking trail is not so easy, but the surroundings of nature make your journey even more adventurous. As per the Mera Peak Climbing itinerary, you hike up to Thanak and then Khare and acclimatize. Spend a couple of hours resting your body and preparing yourself for the hike to Mera High Camp.

And then the highlight of the trek. You will go around the glacier and trek up to Mera High Camp. Since you'll be trekking at higher altitudes, you may get dizzy and your head may hurt, so do it gradually and consume lots of water. Reach Mera High Camp, and further to the top, and see the breathtaking panoramic views of the majestic snow-capped Himalayas. See the beauty of the Himalayas and take photographs and videos for memories. 

Then come back to Khare and celebrate your success in Khare. You'll come back from Khare to Kothe, trek to Thuli Kharla via Thuli Kharka, and then to Lukla via Zatrwa La Pass. Your Mera Peak ascent ends with a return journey to Kathmandu by flight.

Know Before You Go

Mera Peak Climbing Difficulty

Mera Peak has become one of the most famous trekking and climbing destinations in recent years. It is considered a challenging trek. You’ll need to prepare for a significant time before the climbing adventure. You need to walk daily for 5-7 hours until you reach your destination. 

As this is a trekking and climbing journey, you need to have good physical strength and stamina. Do regular cardio like running, swimming, or cycling; it helps you boost your physical strength. Also, training in rope fixing and how to walk on a glacier. Also, you need to be mentally strong. 

Best Season to Climb Mera Peak

Spring and autumn are considered the best seasons to trek and climb in Nepal’s Himalayas. 

Spring (March to May)

Spring is a good season to climb Mera Peak. Spring weather is cool and clear, and not too hot. There are lovely flowers on the trekking trail, and you will feel fresh all the time in the green forest. You'll have lovely views of the great Himalayas like Everest, Makalu, and Lhotse.

Autumn (September to November) 

Autumn is best for clear vistas. Autumn is one of the finest and most loved seasons since it provides crystal clear Himalayan vistas. In and after the monsoon, all dust settles down from the sky, and owing to this reason, clear and fresh air is provided. The weather is cool and ideal for trekking to Mera Peak. It is least likely to snow, and therefore it is best for climbing and trekking.

Winter and monsoon seasons are not recommended for trekking and climbing. The weather gets unfavorable, and the sceneries get hidden in the clouds/fog at these times of the year. Mera Peak will be an awesome experience when you travel at the right and perfect time.

  • 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.
