Tour Overview
Mera is a snow-capped mountain peak that is 6476m tall, located in Sagarmatha National Park, Nepal. It is a great choice for those looking for a short but adventurous climbing trip. To reach the summit of this magnificent peak, you will need to embark on a 14-day journey starting from Kathmandu. You will need an experienced mountain guide and appropriate climbing gear. During this trek, you will have the opportunity to explore the typical villages of local ethnic groups such as Sherpa, Rai, Magar, and Gurung. You will also pass through beautiful terraced fields and flowing mountain rivers before arriving at Khare, the last settlement in the region. We believe that the views of Mera Peak are some of the most spectacular and glorious trekking peaks in the world. Mera Peak has 3 summits, and the highest one at 6476m is our objective. We will leave the beaten Mera Peak trail, cross the Hinku valley, and stay in rarely visited villages, spending time high above the main trail, gathering extra acclimatization and conditioning surrounded by stunning scenery and unique valleys.

The route swings to the east of the left-hand ridge before turning back towards the main summit ridge of Mera. Mera peak has 3 summits, our objective is the highest.
