Mera Peak

MERA PEAK (6,467m) – The Highest Trekking Peak of Nepal

In case if you are looking to try out one of the Himalayan peaks of Nepal which is a straightforward and non-technical climb situated little bit away from the heavy crowd then you would like to try out Mera Peak (6,467 m) which is one of the highest officially permitted trekking peak in Nepal.

Mera Peak rises to the South of Everest and dominates the watershed between the heavily wooded Valleys of the Hinku and Hongu Drangkas. The area not much frequented by travellers like in the Everest Base Camp trail. The trail to Mera Peak base camp passes through pristine forest, local villages and provides some great views of the Himalayas. From the summit of Mera peak you can have stunning views of Kanchenjunga (8,586 m), Makalu (8,463 m) in the east, Everest (8,848 m) and Lhotse (8,516 m) to the north, and Ama Dablam and Cho Oyu (8,463 m) to the west. Also, the view of sunrise on Everest and Kanchenjunga from the Mera Peak upper slope is mesmerizing.

Overview:

Mera Peak (6,467 m) is one of the highest officially permitted trekking peak in Nepal. Graded alpine PD is physically demanding due to altitude but in terms of climbing it is a non-technically straightforward climb. It offers an exhilarating challenge but are easier to summit than other major mountaineering adventures.

The ascent to Mera Peak from the Mera La (Base Camp) is gradual and sustained, and there is relatively steep section to Mera’s central summit of around 40 degrees. In case of heavy snowfall, the route can be long and challenging. This trip is ideal for those with moderate mountaineering experience, a good level of fitness and a keen sense of adventure.

Trekking Peak:

Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA) has designated several peaks between 5,000 to 7,000 meters as a trekking peak. These peaks still pose significant challenges with the altitude but requires limited technical climbing experience.

Mera Peak (6,467m): Trip Route

The Mera Peak (6,467m) trip begins with a short and exciting flight to the mountain airstrip at Lukla

Routes Options:

Option 1: Mera Peak Upper Route (Shorter, More Challenging)

This direct route is best suited for experienced high-altitude trekkers. After flying into Lukla, the trek ascends quickly over the Zatrawa La Pass (4,620m) with limited acclimatization time. The return follows the same trail, making it shorter but more intense.

Option 2: Mera Peak Lower Route (Gradual, Better Acclimatization)

This route offers a gradual ascent, giving trekkers more time to adjust to altitude. The trail winds through beautiful villages, rhododendron forests, streams, terraced fields, and Buddhist monasteries. It’s culturally immersive and physically safer due to better acclimatization. The return trip usually takes the faster upper route.

Climbing: A couple of nights at Khare for acclimatization and perfecting your fixed rope and abseiling skills for final push towards the Summit. Then start our climb by establishing our camp at Base Camp (5,300m) on the east side of Mera La on a gravel flat below the ice. Next day is to high camp (5,800m) which is around 4 hours walk on gently slanted snow slopes Then, if the weather permits, it’s a day to summit. Start early morning around 0200 hours with headlights on with continuing up the ridge then ascend steeply to the east of the left-hand ridge before moving to the right to make the summit easier. Our staff will fix safety ropes to the bottom of the last part of the summit climb. During this time, we take a bit of rest at the South Col observing the amazing sunrise over the Himalayas. Then ready for the final push taking the steepest part of the climb of the last section with the help of Jumar. Finally, on the top with a spectacular view of Mt. Everest (8,848m), the highest mountain in the world, Mt. Kanchenjunga (8,586m), the third highest, Mt. Makalu (8,463m) , the fifth highest mountain of the Universe and several other peaks.

Later, we descend slowly and carefully supported by the ropes fixed by our crew. Then we reach Khare where we take a rest after a stressful and exciting trip. From there Mera Peak climb returns to Lukla from the Upper route and then flies to Ramechhap or Kathmandu.

Overnight at the lodge.

This classic expedition offers a perfect mix of high-altitude trekking and non-technical mountaineering, ideal for adventurous travelers dreaming of conquering one of the Himalayan peaks.

The journey to Island Peak begins with a scenic trek to Everest Base Camp (5,364m), passing through traditional Sherpa villages, ancient monasteries, and vibrant chortens, all set against the backdrop of towering Himalayan giants. The trail helps your body gradually acclimatize, while offering breathtaking views of Ama Dablam, Thamserku, Lhotse, and Everest itself.

Island Peak Summit: A Gateway to Himalayan Mountaineering

Standing tall at 6,189 meters, Island Peak is a prominent trekking peak located just a few miles from Mt. Everest. It lies nestled among the mighty Lhotse, Imja, and Ama Dablam, offering a thrilling ascent for climbers looking to experience high-altitude alpine climbing.

Although non-technical, the climb does demand basic snow and ice climbing skills. From the base, climbers ascend a rocky ridge, cross a glacier, and tackle a 45° ice slope leading to a narrow summit ridge. The effort is immense, but the panoramic views of Makalu (8,475m), Baruntse (7,720m), and the entire Khumbu range make it all worth it.

Island Peak Summit: Highlights

Acclimatization periods in between trek days.
Support of your expedition by experienced staff.
Another difficulty you may face on this trip is the weather. The climate should also be favorable to climbers for them to have a successful ascent.

Island Peak Summit: Challenges

Island summit is a non-technical summit that has some difficulties, such as climbing an ice wall and traversing a glacier.
Use of jumar/ascenders for 120m vertical ascent on 40–70° ice slopes
Island Peak may not present much of a challenge to experienced hikers and climbers, but it can be physically and mentally taxing for anyone with little to no mountaineering experience.
Another challenge you may face on this trip is the weather. The climate should also be favorable to climbers for them to have a successful ascent.
Weather plays an important role not just for climbing but also for flight to fly to Lukla as the airport is in a mountainous terrain where the weather can change very quickly.
As this trip reaches above 6000 m the altitude is another challenge

Peak Climbing

PEAK CLIMBING IN NEPAL:

The vast numbers of snowcapped peaks offer the best choices for Himalaya expedition and climbing in Nepal. Peaks range from excellent introductions to Himalayan mountaineering to some extremely challenging climbs. These peaks are not higher than 6,500 m and situated close to some popular and accessible trekking routes. Some amazing climbs of several days can easily be incorporated into any of the wonderful treks in these areas and so the name Trekking Peaks came about.

The category was created by the Nepal Mountaineering association as an intermediate stage between hiking and all-out mountaineering. They are often close to major peaks, with astounding views from their summits. Climbing them gives you the exhilaration of pitting yourself against Himalayan conditions and altitudes, so don’t underestimate the challenge. It is essential to note that these are still considerable mountains, taller than almost anything in North America or Europe. Don’t be fooled by the name ‘trekking peak’ – most require a little scrambling over snow and ice so make sure you are familiar with the use of crampons and ice axes.

Climbing peaks in Nepal is governed by rules and regulation. The Nepal Mountaineering Association has produced a small booklet containing the regulations governing the ascent of trekking peaks. There are certain requirements governing trekking peaks, such as the need for a registered sirdar and for a recognized agency to get your peak permit.

CLIMBING STYLES:

Although there are straightforward routes on many of these peaks, they certainly should not be underestimated. All peak climbing in the Himalayan Kingdom of Nepal requires the use of rope, axe and crampons; ice screws, snow stakes (pickets) and often a small selection of nuts and pegs (pitons) may be useful. Many of the climbs cross seriously crevassed ground and should not be attempted without a firm grounding in the fundamentals of glacier rope-work and crevasse rescue.

CLIMATE:

Well climbing in Nepal can be done almost all the year round between October and May but the best time will be from October to November, the high season for climbing and trekking, the conditions are usually ideal with clear skies and stable weather, although you might experience the unconsolidated remains of heavy snowfall left over from the monsoon.

CLIMBING GRADE:

This is intended to give an indication of the overall difficulty of a climb – and we have considered a combination of factors such as technical difficulty, the length or duration of the climb, altitude – since this has a significant influence on the grade of the climb, and objective dangers such as the route’s exposure. The difficulty of climbing any Himalayan peak can vary from year to year according to the prevailing conditions, thus the given grades for our climbing trips are only intended as a rough guide.

F: Easy scree or gentle snow or short slopes up to 30 d

PD: Scrambling ground, slopes maybe 40 d

AD: Some pitched climbing on rock, snow/ice 45-50 d

D: Sustained pitched climbing on rock, ice up to 50-60 d

TD: Serious technical climbing, vertical ice

ED1: Expect sustained vertical or overhanging sections

ED2: The ED series is open ended, and gets harder with each generation

CLIMBING EQUIPMENTS:

It is important to have proper climbing equipment for climbing trip in Nepal. There are plenty of shops in Kathmandu where you can purchase good quality climbing gears. In case if you are interested in just hiring the option is always there.

Some of the technical gear you will be requiring is Plastic Boots, Crampoons, Harness, Helmet, Ice Axe, Ascenders, Descenders, Gloves, Gaiters, ropes, snow bar, ice screws

DEALING WITH EMERGENCY:

Climbers should be aware that there is very little in the way of rescue organization for handling trekker’s/climbing emergencies in Nepal. Though our guides are trained in first aid and can deal with most of the basic ailments that occurs during a trek but in case of serious problem one has to be helicopter out to the nearest place where there are adequate medical facilities. One needs to have a proper Insurance coverage i.e. helicopter rescue, medical and accidental policy as the cost of rescuing can go very high. If the landing site is far away, then we will have to use either porters or yak/mule to transport it to a place where you could be rescued. You must be aware that you are traveling in a very remote part of the world where there are difficulties of communication and getting an instant medical attention.

ALTITUDE RELATED PROBLEM:

Trekking/Climbing in the Himalayas can often affect a trekker/climber with altitude related discomfort either physically or mentally if ascending beyond the safer limits of 3000 m above sea level. Complaints of discomfort could either be mild or acute and they vary from person to person. Decreasing supply of oxygen in the atmosphere as one ascent higher, followed by lesser intake of oxygen by one’s body results in such discomfort.

Far Out including its staff are absolutely aware of this problem and hence for us it’s a big deal to allow ample time in between trek days to let your body acclimatize well. If affected, a person may show any/some of the following symptoms and complaints of such symptoms are collectively known as Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS).

Headache that responds to pain killers but then returns
Loss of appetite
Nausea
Shortness of Breath
Cough
Palpitation
Dizziness/light-headedness
Unusual Tiredness/Weariness
Swelling of the limbs & face
Disturbed Sleep
Poor Coordination
Slurring of Speech

If such discomforts worsen a person could often become irrational and difficult to reason with making her/his ability to make sensible decisions increasingly impaired – one compelling reason for never trekking alone at higher altitudes. Therefore, we urge you to communicate with our guide/your group leader at all times should you experience any of these symptoms so that these can be effectively monitored.

INSURANCE:

We strongly recommend that you insured yourself before taking a trekking trip to Nepal. Your insurance policy should cover travel insurance, medical, accidental and helicopter rescue in case of emergency.

PEAK PERMIT FEE:

There are 27 climbing peaks regulated by the Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA). A total of 33 Peak Permits were managed by NMA until the new regulation came into effect. Hence the NMA regulated peaks are termed as ‘Trekking Peaks’.

GROUP “A” and “B“:

(Mar/Apr/May)= US$ 250 net per person

(Sept/Oct/Nov)= US$ 125 net per person

(Dec/Jan/Feb/Jun/Jul/Aug)= US$ 70 net per person

Singu Chuli (Fluted Peak) and Chulu East:

(Mar/Apr/May)= US$ 400 net per person

(Sept/Oct/Nov)= US$ 200 net per person

(Dec/Jan/Feb/Jun/Jul/Aug)= US$ 100 net per person

GARBAGE DEPOSIT:

The amount of US $ 500.- per peak should be deposited to NMA as garbage deposit fee to obtain the climbing permit for all 33 NMA Peaks. The refund shall be made as per the provisions made by NMA.

Kathmandu: The Heart of Nepal

At an elevation of 1,300 meters above sea level, Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, is not just the political center of the country but also a treasure trove of history and culture. Historically, the Kathmandu Valley was a vast lake, which, according to legend, was drained by the Buddhist saint Manjushree. This transformation gave rise to fertile lands that eventually became home to the valley’s first settlers.

Today, Kathmandu is a city where the old and new coexist harmoniously. Known as the “Playground of the Gods,” the valley is dotted with hundreds of temples, ancient palaces, and monuments. The city’s spiritual landscape is primarily influenced by Hinduism and Buddhism, creating a unique atmosphere that is palpable in every corner of the valley. Kathmandu is not just a city; it is a vibrant fusion of sacred traditions, bustling markets, and modern development.
