More than just a summit quest, what sets it apart is its attraction among both novice climbers and intrepid trekkers. For aspiring climbers, it marks a new step to get started on their mountaineering journey, while it is a once-in-a-lifetime feat for trekkers who want to push their boundaries and return as storytellers.

Walk through stunning scenery and diverse trails, including lush forests, picturesque valleys, and breathtaking glaciers in the Khumbu Valley. You will encounter diverse experiences with a mix of trekking and basic mountaineering skills such as walking on snow and ice slopes, traversing crevasses, camping over ice, and using climbing equipment like crampons, ice axes, and ropes. | |
Immerse yourself in Sherpa culture. You will come across fascinating little mountain villages, tea houses, and serene monasteries. Interact with the locals and observe their lifestyle as you go. | |
Take an exhilarating mountain flight to the town of Lukla, the gateway to the Everest Region. This marks your first adventure. Lukla has tiny shops, coffee shops, and restaurants to unwind after your long journey. |
Mera Peak Climbing is a challenging adventure, that entails trekking for long walking hours and crossing high passes. As a trekking peak, it does not require advanced mountaineering skills and can be done with some technical training involving ropes handling and knowledge of using ice axe, crampons, etc. The itinerary is designed to go slow and accustom ourselves to the gaining elevation with enough acclimatization days. The accommodation is on mountain lodges, except for 2-3 days after Khare, where we camp in tents. With our team of experienced support staff and qualified climbing guide, Mera Peak will be a great expedition for you.
Spring (Mar-May) and Autumn (Sep-Nov) are the best times to climb Mera Peak. The climbing conditions are more favorable during these months with clear skies, relatively stable weather, great visibility, and milder temperatures. The weather in the Himalayas varies greatly based on altitude and season. Mornings are generally clear but it starts getting windy as the day progresses. Be prepared for rapid weather changes as you ascend. The higher you climb, the colder and more unpredictable the conditions become.

Mountain lodges are the basic accommodation set up by locals to cater to trekkers in the trails. The common features across all lodges are standard rooms, a spacious and heated dining hall, and a restaurant with a menu. The rooms in mountain lodges generally have two or three twin beds with a mattress and blanket. If you are used to sleeping warm, we highly recommend bringing your own sleeping bag and liner. Other amenities could be a table, hanger, and dustbin but do not expect to have charging ports and attached toilets in the rooms. Moreover, it is mandatory to have meals in the facility you’re staying at.

For cell service, consider purchasing an international calling plan from your home cell service provider. Not only does this save you the hassle of searching for a local SIM card, but it also works just as effectively as the local networks.
If you plan to get a sim card, Nepal Telecom (NTC) network works better in most areas compared to Ncell in most remote areas. Having said that, please bear in mind that the process of buying an NTC sim card is more time-consuming. There’s no reception on many parts of the trek and climb.
For days at the lodges, lunch and dinner are left out from price includes to give you full flexibility on meals, depending on your appetite and preference. Our hotels have a wide selection of food and drink options. For vegetarians and vegans, or if you have any other dietary requirements, please let us at the time of booking so we can make arrangements.
On camping days, the food will be very basic. Dinner and lunch will be a choice of Dal Bhat, Spaghetti, Sherpa Stew, Thukpa (noodle soup), etc cooked and served hot for the entire group. You will be provided tea, coffee, juice and hot water as needed.
>We take altitude sickness very seriously and all our itineraries are designed to go on a slow pace, covering short distances as we go higher. With the increase in every thousand meters, we stay an extra night at the same stop or place with a similar elevation to acclimatize our bodies to the altitude. During the trek, we will also take precautions by staying hydrated, avoiding alcohol consumption, and going for acclimatization hikes as needed. We also have a training day before the climb to see how our body feels, and a contingency day incase we need to make necessary adjustments. Our guide will check your vitals with oximeter every evening during the trek so we know how your body is reacting to the changing elevation. If you see any symptoms of AMS or have a headache, please contact our guide immediately. In most cases, mild headaches can be tackled with food, hydration and rest.
We don’t recommend diamox (pills for altitude sickness) but you can take it as precaution starting a day or two before the trek if you are coming from sea level.
Buying and renting gears– Kathmandu has a lot of gear shops. If you happen to miss anything, you can buy them at Thamel before your trek. For instance, a sleeping bag costs approximately USD 2 per day. Climbing gear is available for rent directly in Khare, before your ascent. Hiring a complete set of personal climbing equipment (see the list below) is priced at USD 100 for the entire climbing duration. If you have an exceptionally large or small foot, it is recommended to bring your own boots for the climb. Let us know if you need any help with gear.
What not to carry – Oxygen cylinders, drones and satellite phones without permission, and sharp items, can be confiscated at the airport.

The overall baggage limit is 15kgs (33lbs) per passenger, a policy set by the airlines for mountain flights. Excess weight is allowed at an additional expense. However, we recommend not exceeding this weight limit if you are not bringing your own climbing equipments. During the trek, porters are assigned to carry your bags. One porter carries the luggage of two trekkers in a big duffel bag that the company provides. The maximum weight carried by one porter is 25kgs (55lbs). This means you will pack two bags for your trek: a day bag for yourself and a softshell duffel that goes inside the porter’s bag.
Leave no Trace: Please don’t litter, and also dispose any trash properly (you can hand them to your guide). Plucking flowers and vandalizing trails is off limits. We’ll leave the beautiful trails as we found them.
A Few Rules: Any form of physical violence or verbal abuse, harassment, solicitation of prostitution, or possession or use of illegal drugs or illicit materials is strictly prohibited.
Alcohol and Drugs Policy: Heavy alcohol consumption dehydrates your body and doesn’t pair well with trekking for obvious safety reasons. We recommend you limit your alcohol intake to a minimal amount during day time. Let’s wait till the evening to raise a glass or two.
No Handouts of any kind: Giving money or handouts of any kind to beggars and children is strictly prohibited, as it only promotes begging culture.
Photography and Drones: It’s advisable to ask permission of the locals before taking their photos, although by experience we can tell that they love being photographed. Strict drone policies are enforced throughout Nepal – so please don’t fly drones on the trip.
Travelling in a Group: What makes group travel fun is the diversity. This also means that there will be people of all different ages, physical fitness, and walking pace. Please be mindful and respect the time allocated by your lead guide to avoid any inconvenience to the group.
Please print and fill up the Booking Form. It’s pretty simple and short, please let us know if we can help you with it.
We’ll send terms and conditions, along with payment details. To confirm your spot, please pay 50% of the trip cost in advance.
Note: Full payment to be made at least 7 days before trip departure.
A few days before the trip, the lead guide will host a small briefing to discuss logistics and safety matters, and also answer any questions you have.
Do some light training and set your gears. Then off to the mountains we go!
