Overview

Mera peak climbing trip in Nepal

Mera peak and climbing information-Mera Peak 6654m altitude is one of the most popular highest trekking peaks in Nepal. The peak is another side of the main trail to Mt. Everest Base Camp and Gokyo lake standing to the south of Mt. Everest peak just above the Hinku and Hongu valleys. The Mera peak lies in the remote and rocky section in the Mt. Everest region. Mr. J.O.M. Roberts and Sen Tenzing made the first successful ascent of Mera Peak on 20 May 1953. Normally climbers use this route but there ae few other route but require crossing very high and difficult passes. This leads to a true mountaineering experience. In the end, all efforts and hard work is paid off with spectacular scenery as Mera provides one of the finest viewpoints in Nepal.

The trail goes either from Lukla or Kharikhola if going from Jiri or Phaplu. The walk to the peak and its summit offers the best panoramic views of the highest peaks including Kangchenjunga, Makalu, and Baruntse in the east and the peaks of Cho-Oyu, Ama Dablam and Kangtega to the west. Everest can be viewed to the north over the massive unclimbed south face of Lhotse and the Nuptse/Lhotse ridge. The Mera peak is not real technical demanding peak but obviously need rock/ice previous climbing experience. When health and weather condition is a favorable, normally it takes two days to climb from base Camp to sumit and back to base camp.
