There are a few alternative routes to reach the Mera Peak base camp, but we have chosen the most straightforward as well as the shortest route in our well-planned itinerary of two- week duration. Trekkers and climbers can enjoy the delightful adventures of Mera Peak Climbing in Nepal Himalayas.
Mera Peak stands high at 6,470 m/ 21,227 feet as per the list of NMA (Nepal Mountaineering Association). Mera Peak is located on the eastern rim of Khumbu and south of Mt. Everest around the beautiful Hinku Valley.
A well-hidden corner of the Khumbu region, bounded by high Naulekh and Kalo Himal from the main popular trekking trails. The adventure to Mera Peak begins after a short scenic flight from Kathmandu to land at Lukla Tenzing-Hillary Airport. After Lukla, the walk leads on off-the-beaten tracks, away from mainstream trekking routes to the hidden valley of Hinku.
A lovely walk for a few days amidst beautiful forest surroundings with rhododendrons, pines, junipers, and fir trees. The route leads to smaller temporary settlements of Thuli Kharka and Kothey to reach Thagnak. A place with a few huts serving as lodges in a wonderful environment with views of Mera Peak. From Thagnak, the tree lines drop for sheer mountain wilderness to reach Khare, a small settlement with few lodges.
Khare is also the Mera Peak Base Camp, situated beneath the towering giant peaks of Mera Peak. Our adventure starts from this point after good preparation with acclimatization days and practice climbing exercises. The climb leads to High Camp and towards our main highlights to the top of Mera Peak Summit. The climb is straightforward walks on snowy slopes with few tricky sections to negotiate before reaching the Mera Peak Summit.
After a long and exciting climb with less technical difficulties, we reach the Mera Peak Summit. Every hard effort rewards you with a spectacular panorama of the Himalayan snow-ountain range. You can witness the grand views of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, and Ama Dablam with Makalu, Baruntse Himal as far as Kanchenjunga on the far-east horizon. After victorious and glorious moments and achieving the goal, we descent to Khare at Mera Peak base camp. The return journey to Lukla on the same scenic route over Zatwar-La Pass to reach Lukla for the last overnight stop.

The plumbing systems for running water freeze in the morning, evening, and nighttime. Due to freezing temperatures from Chutanga onward, using hot showers is at an extra cost. All lodges have electricity to light the large dining room powered by local hydro or solar power. For charging electronic items, you have to pay an extra cost per hour and for each gadget. Internet and Wi-Fi are available, but it is slow and disturbing in some places due to weather conditions.
