Mera Peak Climbing - 20 Days

The Mera Peak climbing, perhaps the highest peak climbing of Nepal among the other permitted trekking peaks, rises to the south of Everest and dominates the divide between wild and greatly wooded valleys of the Hinku and Hongu Drangkas and is not truly speaking part of the Khumbu Himal. It should also be noted that there is a discrepancy between the official height given by the NMA (6654m) and the Schneider Map (6476m).

By its normal route from the Mera La, the climb is technically straightforward; however, after a heavy fall of snow or when the maze of crevasses are open, the way can be long and challenging. Far and above the most rewarding aspect of a trip to Mera Peak is a chance to venture into a little-visited region of Nepal where the hillsides are still thickly forested and a need to be independent is important. There is also, of course, the pleasure of going above 6000m.There are many approaches to Mera Peak climbing none are easy and some require the crossing of high and difficult passes, making a trek to the peak a real mountaineering adventure for which effort is rewarded with spectacular scenery and ultimately one of the finest viewpoints in Nepal.
