Mera Peak Climbing

Mera Peak Climbing – A Himalayan Journey to Nepal’s Highest Trekking Peak

Mera Peak Climbing, (6,476m) is the highest permitted trekking peak in Nepal, standing proudly in the remote Hinku Valley, east of the Everest region. Despite being less frequented than nearby routes, it attracts over 700 climbers annually for its pristine landscapes, exhilarating ascent, and jaw-dropping Himalayan views.

This adventure isn’t just about reaching the summit — it’s a culturally immersive and visually rewarding journey. You’ll hike through Sherpa settlements, dense forests, high-altitude valleys, and expansive glaciers. Along the way, you’ll encounter remote trails, traditional hospitality, and Nepal’s iconic peaks — Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, Kanchenjunga, Ama Dablam, and more.

🧗 Why Climb Mera Peak?

  • Discover untouched valleys and authentic Sherpa culture
  • Trek through alpine terrain, rhododendron forests, and glacial landscapes
  • Enjoy local ethnic cuisine and traditional cultural experiences

🧳 Required Fitness & Climbing Skills

Mera Peak is a challenging, high-altitude trek that involves walking 6–7 hours daily through steep, icy, and uneven terrain. Although the ascent is non-technical compared to other peaks, basic mountaineering skills are recommended, including:

Our professional guides will assist with training, rope use, and safety protocols throughout the journey.
