Mera Peak Climbing – Highest Trekking Peak of Nepal
Mera Peak (6476 m) is the highest trekking peak in Nepal and one of the most rewarding high-altitude adventures in the Himalayas. Rising above the remote Hinku Valley in the Solu Khumbu region, this majestic summit offers not only a challenging and memorable climb but also an experience rich in natural beauty, cultural depth, and soul-touching mountain views.
The journey begins in Lukla, gradually ascending through lush rhododendron forests, remote Sherpa settlements, and wide alpine valleys untouched by crowds. Unlike the popular Everest Base Camp trail, the Mera route feels wild and remote, a hidden corner of the Khumbu where time slows down and nature speaks loudly. As you trek deeper, the air grows thinner, the trees disappear, and you enter the rugged highlands, dreamlike beauty of the high Himalayas.
Climbing Mera is a non-technical expedition, making it accessible to fit trekkers with basic mountaineering skills. While no previous climbing experience is strictly necessary, you will use crampons, ropes, and an ice axe during the final ascent across the glacier, a thrilling yet safe introduction to mountaineering. This makes Mera Peak the perfect stepping stone for those dreaming of bigger peaks like Ama Dablam or even Everest.
The true reward, however, awaits at the summit. From the top of Mera Peak, climbers are gifted with one of the most spectacular panoramas in all of Nepal—a sweeping 360-degree view of five of the world’s six highest mountains: Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, and distant Kanchenjunga. Nowhere else can you witness such a grand Himalayan skyline from a single viewpoint. The silence at the summit, broken only by the wind and your breath, is profoundly humbling.
But Mera Peak offers more than just altitude. It is a journey of personal transformation, a test of your physical limits and mental resilience. The long, cold days and thin air demand endurance, while the simplicity of mountain life and the power of the landscape offer moments of deep reflection. For many, the climb becomes not just a physical achievement but a spiritual milestone, an awakening of courage, focus, and self-belief.
Along the way, you'll encounter the rich Sherpa culture - monasteries covered in prayer flags, stone mani walls, and warm-hearted locals who live harmoniously in one of the world’s toughest environments. This blend of culture, adventure, solitude, and nature is what makes Mera Peak so special.
Whether you’re an experienced trekker ready to touch your first real Himalayan summit, or a mountain dreamer looking for a profound and beautiful challenge, Mera Peak Climbing delivers an unforgettable experience. It’s more than just a climb, it’s a journey into the wild heart of the Himalayas, a personal achievement, and a memory that will stay with you for a lifetime.

Lukla Flight Information
Flight from Ramechhap (March, April, May, October & November)
During the peak seasons of (Spring) March to May and October to November (Autumn), due to the high volume of tourists and maximum flights to Lukla, the Government of Nepal normally decides to operate flights from Ramechhap instead of Kathmandu to avoid air traffic. If flying from Ramechhap, we will have to wake up at 1 or 2 AM and take a 5–6-hour drive from Kathmandu to Ramechhap in a private or shared vehicle. From Ramechhap, we will take a 20-minute flight to Lukla.
Flight from Kathmandu (December - September)
During the off-peak months from December to September (i.e Winter / Monsoon), due to fewer tourists, flights to Lukla operate directly from Kathmandu. We have to wake up at about 5 or 6 AM and then meet guide at the hotel and drive to TIA airport and take 35-minute flights to Lukla.
