Mera Peak Climbing is probably one of the greatest experiences for adventure lovers. Mera Peak (6,476 m/21,247 ft.) is Nepal’s highest trekking peak. It lies in the Mahalangur section of the Himalayas. Administratively it lies in the Solukhumbu district of the Sagarmatha zone in eastern Nepal. Additionally, it is at the east of the main Khumbu trekking trail of the Everest region. Moreover, it contains three main summits: Mera North (6,476 m), Central (6,461 m), and South (6,065 m).
Mera Peak is the highest trekking peak of Nepal that offers spectacular views of multiple 8000-ers, namely Mt Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Kanchenjunga, and Cho-Oyu among others. Even at a peak elevation of almost 6500 meters, this trek can be completed with basic climbing and mountaineering skills and minimal experience which makes for a truly unique experience.
The region was first explored by British expeditions in the early 50s before and after the ascent of Everest. Expedition members of those teams included Edmund Hillary, Tenzing Norgay, Eric Shipton, and George Lowe.
The first ascent of Mera Central was on May 20, 1953, by Col. Jimmy Roberts and Sen Tenzing (who was known by the nickname The Foreign Sportsman). Mera North is believed to have first been climbed by the French climbers Marcel Jolly, G. Baus, and L. Honills in 1975. In 1986 Mal Duff and Ian Tattersall made the first ascent of the southwest pillar.
The standard route from the north involves high-altitude glacier walking. The west and south faces of the peak offer more difficult technical routes. Mera Peak provides 360-degree panoramic views of the 5 world’s highest mountains. It includes Everest (8848 m), Kangchenjunga (8586 m), Lhotse (8516 m), Makalu (8485 m), and Cho Oyu (8201 m) as well as other mountains of the Khumbu Region.
One of the best reasons to attempt the Mera Peak Climbing is to witness the almost unmatched view from its summit. Apart from the scenic mountains, you will also pass through numerous Sherpa villages and have an opportunity to interact with and learn about their traditional lifestyle and culture. The trail on this high altitude climb will take you through high passes, glacial lakes, dense forests, lush hillsides, deep valleys, and pleasant pasturelands. It will occasionally also require you to make use of your climbing gear, which makes for a unique experience compared to most other trekking routes.
The Mera peak trek begins with a flight from Kathmandu to the Tenzing Hillary airport at Lukla. We start our trek from there, passing through Chutanga, Thuli Kharka, Kothe, and Thangnak to eventually arrive at Khare. We take a day off at Khare to acclimatize with the thinning mountain air and prepare for the tough climb ahead. We spend the next few days ascending the Mera peak, arriving at the base camp first, then the high camp, and finally the summit. This makes for a few days of challenging yet highly rewarding trekking. We carefully descend down to base camp, and then to Khare, giving our bodies a day to rest somewhere in between. Now that our prime objective is met, all that remains is to retrace our steps back to Lukla. Our journey comes to an end as we take a flight from Lukla back to the capital.
Despite the use of climbing gear, and the high altitude at the peak, this trekking trail is actually fairly easy. As long as you take your time gradually ascending and acclimatizing to the thinning air, the trail itself is nothing to be afraid of. As such, the Mera peak trek is a good experience for new climbers and experienced mountaineers alike.
But to complete those advanced climb through rugged terrain you mish has a certain level of physical endurance. To grow physical endurance, you need to do physical training. You need to spend at least 2 weeks walking for around 5-6 hours on remote trails. You can also do regular jogging, climbing stairs or go to the gym. During the ascend you will encounter steep portals, unpaved trails, and cliffs.
This trekking route is open all year long but it is recommended to visit during spring or autumn for the best possible views and experience. The mountains and skies are going to look crystal clear during this time and the weather will be mostly stable. Winter is not recommended as the temperatures can drop quite low and it might be harsh on newcomers.
Autumn is the best time to climb Mera Peak. September, October, November are the months of the Autumn season, which are the peak times to climb in Nepal. The trails are busy during these months.
September is the first month of the Autumn season that comes just after the departure of the Monsoon season. So, there might be light rainfall during early September as the monsoon is on the edge of farewell. But the raindrops of the Monsoon season wash all the dust from the terrains and vegetation.
There is greenery everywhere during the autumn season because the raindrops of the monsoon season wash all the dust from vegetation. The streams, waterfalls, rivers, ponds, and lakes get refilled after the Monsoon season. So, it is an excellent time to view the water glory of Nepal.
Moreover, the air is also so cool and chilly during the autumn. From mid-September, you will witness clear skies and uninterrupted mountain views. The scene from every corner of everything appears so attractive. The autumn season only lacks blossoming flowers, but other things are just perfect. You’ll find a calm, transparent, and dry climate from mid-September till the late-November. This is why the autumn season is favored by most climbers.
Experience excellent temperature for climbing.
Enjoy the clarity of landscapes and mountains.
View fresh and dust-free terrain views.
Witness the speedy and contained water sources of Nepal.
Spring is another best season to do Mera Peak climbing. March, April, and May months fall in the Spring season that welcomes thousands of trekkers and climbers to Nepal. Spring is an unbeatable time for any adventure.
Spring is the season of blossoming wildflowers and green vegetation. The trails to the Mera Peak are elegantly decorated with several and multicolored flowers and plants. Weather and temperature during Spring are calm and pleasant for climbing. The dry and sunny weather presents clear visibility of the surroundings. The terrain view is just wow when spring with wide-spreading rhododendron and oak trees.
Mera Peak trail lies in the classical route of Everest Base Camp Trek. During the Spring season, you will see many trekkers and climbers on the trails. Thousands of hikers and mountaineers get attracted by the colorful and stable environment of the Spring season.
