Mera Peak Climbing Itinerary: 15 Day Route

Nepal Itinerary , Trekking in Nepal / May 27, 2021 by fulltimeexplorer / 17 Comments

I decided to climb Mera Peak on a bit of a whim when the original trek I’d planned to Upper Dolpa turned out to be too expensive. Swotah Travel & Adventure gave me a Mera Peak climbing itinerary, but after doing some research I asked if I could make some alterations. I wanted to make sure I had plenty of time to acclimate and enjoy the trek, so I took the longest route.

Mera Peak Climbing Route Options

There are several different climbing routes available for Mera Peak. The most popular is to go over the Zatrwa La Pass on the second day. The pass is 4600m and you sleep at a whopping 4200m. Most of the people who came this way described it as extremely difficult, and most suffered altitude sickness on the second night.

Another route requires flying to Phaplu, and then, going a roundabout way toward Mera Peak. Although I didn’t take this route, it may be the smarter way to go for unexpected weather. My flight to Lukla Airport was canceled three days in a row on the way there; however, flights were getting into Phaplu Airport. Also, flying into Lukla is a crazy experience in itself. If you’re afraid to fly, here’s how to take a Jeep ride to Phalpu .

One can also take a jeep to Jiri and then trek up from there. This adds a lot of time to the trek, and I hear the jeep ride is rough, as it takes a lot of small unpaved roads. In the end, I chose to fly into Lukla, and take a long route around the Zatrwa La Pass to give myself time to acclimate properly.

Mera Peak Itinerary Overview

Duration: 15 days

Duration depends on which route you choose to take. This is a longer route that allows more time to acclimate.

Difficulty Level: Difficult/Very Difficult

Highest Altitude: 6,476 m (21,247 feet)

Permits: The Sargarmatha National Park entry fee is 3,390 rupees ($34 USD) and the TIMS is 2,000 rupees ($20 USD). You’ll also need a climbing permit.

Guide Required: A local guide is required for the areas above Khare. I recommend a guide for the entire trek as even the “easy” days were difficult.

Day 1 – Lukla to Paiya

Time Trekking: 4-5 hours

Lukla Altitude: 2,840 meters (9,317 feet)

Paiya Altitude: 2,730 meters (8,956 feet)

Oxygen Concentration: 73%

Distance Covered: 8km

Typically, you would take an early morning flight from Kathmandu to Lukla. Unfortunately, I experienced bad weather three days in a row and was stuck at Kathmandu’s airport. I ended up chartering a helicopter late in the afternoon on the third day, so we spent a night in Lukla and started to hike first thing in the morning.

Although most itineraries say that this is a few hour hike, it actually took us closer to five hours. We stopped in Pakhepani Village for lunch. After lunch, we crossed the Chutok La Pass (2,945m). I would describe day one as “hell.” After three days in an airport just sitting, plus a week of being sick before that, I felt highly unprepared. Day one is mostly walking up and down steep uneven steps. Training on a stair stepper at the gym for a couple hours a day would have made this a lot easier.

Day 2 – Paiya to Panggom

Time Trekking: 5-6 hours

Panggom Altitude: 2,804 meters (9,199 feet)

Oxygen Concentration: 72%

Distance Covered: 12km

Meters Walked Uphill: 1,700m

The trek from Paiya to Panggom is long and hard with huge steep inclines. There are a lot of uneven steps going uphill making it a difficult walk. Originally, I chose this route for acclimation purposes, and the fact that the first few days were all around 3,000m in elevation made it seem like a nice warmup. Another trekkers Garmin watch told us that we had actually gone downhill 1,700m and back uphill 1,700m over the course of five hours.

Despite the hard walk, it’s a nice way to lead up to Mera Peak. We had extremely warm weather, and I was able to walk in a t-shirt and leggings. We stopped at Karte for lunch on route to Panggom. The trek felt like we were going through a jungle which was a really nice contrast to all the snow we would face later. It also gave me time to acclimate and by day three or four, I was used to limited oxygen. In Panggom, there’s a small hike up to a monastery which is great if you have the energy. We happened to arrive during a Puja when hundreds of monks came to the area to pray.

Day 3 – Panggom to Ramailo Danda

Ramailo Danda Altitude: 3,276 meters (10,748 feet)

Oxygen Concentration: 68%

Distance Covered: 9km

Meters Walked Uphill: 1,300m

The original itinerary said we would sleep in Ningsow, but we ended up having lunch there and continuing onto Ramailo Danda. The trek to Ningsow has a nice slow decrease in elevation followed by a steady increase back up. We passed tons of mani walls which are stones engraved with Tibetan Buddhism prayers. You go over the Panggom La Pass (3,174m) on route.

After lunch, there’s a steep incline going up to Ramailo Danda. This part of the trek is difficult but offers beautiful views. I agreed with my guide afterwards that the extra 1-2 hours to the next village was a smart decision. Otherwise, you have to do that section first thing in the morning on day 4 which was already an excruciatingly long day.

In the first four days, you should expect extremely basic accommodations with squat toilet style outhouses, some solar power electricity or none at all, and limited water. One place we stayed didn’t even have a proper floor and was just dirt. That being said, you get to see a much more authentic version of Nepal that is off the beaten path of most tourists. I only saw two other trekkers in the first four days and would later run into big groups once we got back on the main trail.

Day 4 – Ramailo Danda to Takto

Time Trekking: 8 hours

Takto Altitude: 3,670 meters (12,040 feet)

Oxygen Concentration: 65%

Distance Covered: 14km

Meters Walked Uphill: 2,000m

The trail from Ramailo Danda to Takto starts out with the most beautiful rhododendron forest in the entire trek. The rhododendron is the national flower of Nepal, and you can see why. With the morning light, I felt like I was walking through a fairy tale with moss climbing up the trees and bright red and pink flower petals falling to the ground. If you sit around very quietly for long enough, you might get a chance to spot the rare red panda.

I found this day to be excruciating. We hit clouds and fog which made it feel like we were on a treadmill. I couldn’t see any views for 6 hours and was absolutely exhausted. I’m not sure if I just mentally lost it because I couldn’t see how far we’d come or how far we had left to go, but I actually broke down in tears in my room this evening. Another trekker I was with flew back to Kathmandu on a helicopter the next morning because he was exhausted, sore, and wasn’t enjoying himself. Go into this day mentally prepared for it to be extremely tough.

Our original itinerary said to stop earlier in Chhetra Khola but my guide (as well as other guides on the same path) insisted it was better to continue on. I’m not sure why, but I’d imagine stopping in Chhetra Khola would have made the day much easier. Day 5 was super easy, so adding more to that day seems like it’d be a smart choice.

Day 5 – Takto to Kothe

Time Trekking: 3-4 hours

Kothe Altitude: 3,580 meters (11,745 feet)

Oxygen Concentration: 66%

Distance Covered: 7km

Here you’ll pick up the main trekking route and run into people coming over the Zatrwa La Pass (the harder route). From Takto we headed North on a very gentle incline. This day is extremely easy in comparison to past days. We took a tea break at Tashing Ongma and ate lunch at Kothe. Kothe is one of the first places where you can purchase a hot shower for $3.50. Wifi is also available for purchase here and further up the mountain. $5 will get you 200MB while $10 will get 1GB. The only catch is that the cards expire in 15 hours.

Day 6 – Kothe to Thangnak

Thangnak Altitude: 4,358 meters (14,297 feet)

Oxygen Concentration: 60%

Meters Walked Uphill: 800m

The walk to Thangnak is quick and easy. It only takes three to four hours and is a very gentle incline along the river with beautiful views. The round river rocks also create a nice change of scenery from the previous days spent in the forest. We stopped in Saurya for tea and ate lunch when we arrived at Thangnak.

Day 7 – Rest Day in Thangnak

Time Trekking: Acclimation Hike

My guide opted to cancel our acclimation day in Thangnak. Most other groups spent an extra night here. I was feeling great at altitude and was barely having a problem breathing, so I didn’t argue. In hindsight, I didn’t remember how quickly the next few ascents were, and I wish we’d spent the extra day here.

On my trip to Everest Base Camp, I got a really bad cold which turned into pneumonia, so in my mind, I was battling between spending time acclimating, or possibly getting sick from being in cold conditions for an extra night. In the end, we skipped this day, but I wish I’d gone with my original plan to acclimate longer, since I got altitude sickness at High Camp and couldn’t even attempt to summit. If you choose to stay, there is an acclimation hike available up to 5,200m.

Day 8 – Thangnak to Khare

Khare Altitude: 5,045 meters (16,551 feet)

Oxygen Concentration: 55%

Meters Walked Uphill: 700m

Signs for a German Bakery located ahead in Khare made the trek a little easier and provided some extra motivation. It’s a fairly easy start with a gentle incline along the river. We had a tea break halfway there at one lone house in the middle of nowhere. After the tea break, there is a mildly steep incline the rest of the way to Khare. Altitude made it harder to breathe at this point, so the difficulty had more to do with altitude than the actual trail being challenging. At the end, there is a German Bakery and the apple strudel was worth the trek.

Day 9 – Rest Day in Khare

Meters Walked Uphill: 250

There’s a nearby hill which can easily be accessed from the village. Although it’s only a couple hundred meters higher than Khare, it’s still a good acclimation hike. Most people stop at the prayer flags, but I’d urge you to go to the top. The hike only takes an hour, and although it’s steep, it has incredible views from the top facing the opposite direction of the village. I’d recommend going right after breakfast as it got cloudy on the way back and a nice warm walk turned into freezing cold weather on the way down.

A lot of other groups had training for mountaineering on this day. My guide felt it was unnecessary because I was the only one in my group, and he could teach me as we went along. In larger groups, when you’re roped together, you can’t always see the guide, so knowing commands ahead of time is important for communication.

Extra Day Option

Possibly add a day at old Base Camp for acclimation.

Day 10 – Khare to High Camp

Time Trekking: 6-8 hours

High Camp Altitude: 5,780 meters (18,963 feet)

Oxygen Concentration: 50%

This is the first day that you get to use your mountaineering equipment. If you haven’t used it before, it’s going to feel extremely odd. The shoes were very bulky to me, and I wished we’d practiced the day before. Although, I looked at the other groups who had practiced, and they weren’t doing much better.

The trek starts with a hike to Base Camp. There are two Base Camps for Mera (an old and a new). The new one is pretty easy to access after trekking over rocks for a couple of hours. We did this in the snow which made it very slippery and difficult to navigate. I’d actually recommend staying at the old Base Camp for one night if you have time. It’s located at 5,350m. It seemed like the people who stayed at the new Base Camp had the same problem I did with the altitude. Those who spent a night at the old Base Camp had a higher summit rate.

My opinion of the trek to High Camp directly from Khare might be a bit skewed. We had a week of bad weather leading up to the hike, and a lot of people changed their schedules to accommodate for it. We blazed ahead with the original plan, hoping we’d get a window to summit. On the way, the weather changed from sunny to cloudy, which at this altitude meant walking through the clouds. Add in a snow storm, and I was trekking in a complete whiteout for 6 hours. I can’t explain how mentally draining this was, but not seeing how far you’ve come or how far you have left was extremely difficult. Again, if we’d spent a day at old Base Camp, we’d have been halfway there and the trek would not have been so draining.

Day 11 – High Camp to Summit to Khare

Time Trekking: 10-12 hours

Summit Altitude: 6,461 meters (21,197 feet)

Oxygen Concentration: 46% at summit

Unfortunately, I can’t shed much light on summit day. I woke up with a headache, and took some Diamox, but it was too late. We woke up at 2am to summit and kept pushing the time back an hour. By daylight my headache had gone from bad to worse. I felt as though someone had bashed a baseball bat into my skull. I could barely stand up without toppling over. My guide gave me the option to stay another night at High Camp to acclimate and try the next morning. After sitting there for five minutes, I knew there was no way I’d make it 24 hours.

The walk from High Camp back to Khare was beautiful. We were hit with a brutal snow storm during the night (which was probably just a regular snow storm for this altitude). We basically skied down the mountain in our boots. The fresh powder made it easy to slide down with little effort. The views that I hadn’t seen the day before were spectacular and the sky was crystal clear.

Day 12 – Khare to Khote

Kothe Altitude : 3,580 meters (11,745 feet)

The walk from Khare to Kothe is a nice slow easy downhill. The walk isn’t so bad, and it’s not too hard on your knees like other areas. Again, we got hit with bad weather. This time, a rain storm, which made the rocks along the river slippery to walk over. Our pace was a lot slower than usual, and the rain made an easy walk a little more difficult. In nice weather, I’d imagine this is a great day for a relaxing downhill trek.

Day 13 – Kothe to Thuli Kharka

Thuli Kharka Altitude: 4,300 meters (14,107 feet)

The trek starts with a steep uphill which reminded me of the first few days of trekking. Since I took the longer route for this trip, I actually felt mentally and physically prepared for this section. Other groups, who took a shorter route, seemed to struggle. We had an extremely early lunch at 10:30am which appeared to be the only teahouse along the way.

The day got a little more difficult later on. You’ll walk over a lot of uneven rocks, and it began to hail when we hit this section. The hail turned to snow and the snow turned to rain. The rocks slowly got covered in ice making a few sections hard to navigate. Otherwise, the walk was beautiful, serene, and not too difficult considering we were going uphill most of the way.

Day 14 – Thuli Kharka to Lukla

Time Trekking: 6-7 hours

Considering how it was the last day of the trek, I thought it would be easy. Day 14 was one of the most difficult (only behind High Camp and summit day). Since we received several inches of snow the night prior, the path over the Zatwra La Pass was covered. The other groups geared up with mountaineering equipment. Most had on mountaineering boots with crampons. Some wore hiking boots with a slip on crampon . A few were even roped to their guides in case they slipped.

My guide was helicopter rescued two days prior after getting the flu, and my porter took over the duties while carrying my 100L duffle bag. I felt a bit underprepared and unconfident as all I had with me were hiking sneakers. My amazing porter gave me one of his slip on crampons which I’m going to invest in next time. It took me twice as long as everyone else to descend and my mental state was a mess. I slipped a few times and the drop was enough to kill you if you didn’t catch your footing. Make sure to have the right footwear for this section just in case of the snow. You may not need it, but if you do, you’ll be so happy you were prepared.

We had lunch once we got over the pass, and then it was a long but easy trek back to Lukla. The second half of the day was spent in the jungle full of rhododendron trees that were fully bloomed. It reminded me of the first few days minus the steep stairs. Make sure to wear layers this day since you go from over 4,500m down to 3,000m and the climate change is pretty extreme.

Day 15 – fly back to Kathmandu

Hey FulltimeExplorer!

Love the handle. Excellent blog, shame you got hit by AMS on the last day though. Am attempting a very similar route in May, fingers crossed! What were the dates you trekked on? I shall be planning to trek from May 10 or so, and am wondering if i’ll be hit by bad weather like yourself

March 28, 2019 at 5:38 pm

I believe we reached high camp around May 5th. I actually went at the best possible time to summit and still got hit with bad weather. It’s hard to plan in the mountains hahaha I was told it was very unusual weather for that time of the year as May is usually the best time to trek in the Khumbu region. A week before I went almost everyone who tried summited and the week I went maybe 30% made it. Best of luck on your journey! I hope you make it to the top!

June 10, 2019 at 8:54 am

Hey fulltimeexplorer! I’m glad to report back with good news! We did manage to summit on May 20th. Thanks for all the info on your blog: we stayed the extra night at Thagnag as you recommended, and I do believe it helped. I’m currently blogging about the trip, I shall link you.

Thanks again!

June 10, 2019 at 9:14 am

That’s so great to hear! Congrats on summiting!! I’m glad you took the extra time to acclimate and that it worked! Yay

January 18, 2020 at 4:00 pm

Some questions: Did you only rented a guide and a porter for the trip from Lukla to Khare and back? How did you arrange the climb between Khare and the Merapeak? Or was it a fullboard service from lukla to Lukla? Entry permits for the Makalu Barun NP can you buy them in Lukla?

sorry a lot of questions. But we gone do this trip in April. greetings Francky

January 18, 2020 at 4:36 pm

Hi Francky! I did a pre booked trip with a tour company (Swotah Travel and Adventure https://www.swotahtravel.com/ ). I had a guide from Lukla to Lukla which I highly recommend. The pass can be really difficult if there is bad weather (we reached the pass after a bad snow storm in April). Depending on the itinerary you choose, the pass is in the first or last couple of days. Swotah arranged the permits for me in advance in Kathmandu. That can be done at the Nepal Tourism Board office. My tour company arranged them for me. I believe you need the guides information to get the permit or they won’t issue you one. Hope this helps and feel free to ask any other questions! The trek is amazing! Best, Michelle

November 11, 2021 at 2:43 am

Is it possible to do the trek in January. I am planning to trek without the guide and hire guide at Khare

November 11, 2021 at 11:58 am

Hi Deepak! I wouldn’t recommend January because planning will be difficult. If it does snow and the government closes peaks then your trip may be canceled halfway through or at the last minute. There is also a high pass at the beginning and end of the trip (depending which way you go) that is really difficult to navigate in the snow. It would be much better to do it in peak season where you have the best shot of summiting.

November 13, 2021 at 3:14 am

Thank you so much, would it be feasible to do EBC late January. I will avoid the 3 pass route. I to some time off late January early Feb. This way I will avoid the crowd. I would be carrying my own pack.

November 13, 2021 at 1:10 pm

I think you’d have a much better shot of completing EBC in January than Mera. I would pack crampons and really warm clothes though in case of snow. It’s sure to be super cold! I would also have a backup plan just in case weather is bad and your flight is canceled. And I’d try to contact at least one hotel in the everest region and ask if teahouses will be open. Usually they are but with reduced tourists it would be good to check in advance ?

November 13, 2021 at 10:21 pm

Thank you again for your valuable advise. I have been following your blog and website for a while. I am fellow New Jerseyans. Admire your courage to chase your dreams, been thinking about the same for 30 years.

November 14, 2021 at 12:17 pm

Awe thank you for following along! If you have any other questions, don’t hesitate to ask ? and I wish you a wonderful trek (and good weather) for January!

Trekking Information

The best time to climb mera peak.

Post monsoon and early spring periods are the best time to attempt the Mera Peak Climbing in Nepal. These include the months of March, April, May, September, October, and November. You can expect clear weather, fully-functional teahouses, plenty of daylight, and ideal peak climbing conditions in these months. However, off-season climbing is also an option if you are experienced enough. We suggest you do thorough planning and preparation while attempting to complete the Mera Peak Climb during any time of the year.

Lukla flights from Kathmandu

Lukla is the starting point of your Mera Peak Climbing adventure. Your domestic flight to Lukla will most likely be in the morning time from Kathmandu. It will be a short 45 min flight. Leaving the valley, you can enjoy a fantastic view of diverse Nepalese geography topped by an amazing view of the Himalayas. The landing at Tenzing Hillary Airport in Lukla is Infamous for its short runway and extreme geographic location. You will have a nerve-racking experience while landing here. You’ll have a proper introduction to the remote Himalayas from this flight.

Mera Peak Permit Cost

You will need a special permit from the Nepal mountaineering association (NMA) for the Mera Peak Climbing. The cost for this permit by NMA differs according to the season. The general cost for Mera Peak as of 2022 is:

– From March to May USD 250 per person

– September to November USD 125 per person

– December to February/ June to August USD 70 per person

Additionally, you will also require the usual permits to trek in the Everest region and the Sagarmatha National Park. The first permit is to enter the Sagarmatha National Park (SNPP). It will cost you around 34 USD per person and will be valid for the duration of the trek. Similarly, the next permit will be for the Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality Entrance Permit available at Lukla. It will cost you about 20 USD per person.

Altitude sickness & Acclimatization

Altitude sickness is common for trekkers heading over the 3000 meters (10000 ft) mark in the Himalayas. You will be doing plenty of high-elevation trekking during the Mera Peak Climbing too. We have carefully planned acclimatization days to make sure your body is adapting to the altitude.

Primary symptoms of altitude sickness include headache, nausea, breathlessness, vomiting, and in extreme cases hallucinations and unconsciousness. Make sure you let your guides know if you have any of these symptoms anytime while doing the Mera Peak Climb. Here are some tips to prevent altitude sickness:

– Drink plenty of water. Keep rehydrating at regular intervals. It is best to drink a liter every hour you’ve walked here.

– Try eating a balanced diet. Avoid too-much salty food and alcohol throughout the climb.

– Get plenty of rest & sleep. Don’t push yourself too much while walking. The key is to ascend slowly and gradually.

– Do warm-up hikes and stretching before starting the walk for the day.

– If necessary, take the pills for Altitude sickness by consulting with your guide. If you feel too uncomfortable descend immediately.

Internet Connectivity

The trail has a stable internet connection for the lower region thanks to the Everest Link’s Wi-Fi cards. These cards can be purchased at different stops during the trek. However, there will be no internet connection once you are past a certain elevation here. Similarly, mobile network coverage is also only available in the lower regions of the trek. Ask for the availability and additional charge for WIFI while staying in your teahouse during the trail.

Mera Peak Climb – The Highest Trekking Peak In Nepal

Asia , Nepal

Mera Peak is widely regarded as the one of the highest trekking peaks in Nepal . The trek is suited for experienced high-altitude trekkers but does not require technical climbing skills as slopes rarely exceed 40 degrees.

It is an Alpine Grade F (easy) except for the final 30 or 40 metres, which are Grade PD (not very hard). Its ease is what attracts many hikers to it, but don't underestimate it's difficulty.

On this page, you will find a comprehensive and impartial guide to the Mera Peak climb.

Mera Peak Trek

Trekking to Mera Peak (21,247 feet) will see you crossing glacier terrain.

Although the climbing is straightforward, it is physically demanding. Heavy snow can make things much more so, as do the potential exposure to crevasses. Use of an experienced guide is important.

From the summit of Mera Peak, you will be able to see five of the six highest mountains in the world : Mount Everest (29,029 feet), Kanchenjunga (28,169 feet), Lhotse (27,940 feet), Makalu (27,825 feet), and Cho Oyu (26,906 feet). This is perhaps the most stunning view from a trekking peak in Nepal. You can see as far as India!

The most appealing feature of the Mera Peak climb is the beautiful and uninhabited Hinku Valley, which is filled with a lovely forest. You will rest under mammoth magnolias and pass immaculate forests with banks of raspberries and strawberries.

The trek takes from 16 to 22 days. Outside of Kathmandu and Lukla, you will be spending most of your nights in a tent or basic Nepal tea house . Most groups camp despite there being tea houses all along the trail, a recent phenomenon. As recently as 1994, there was no more than a yak herder’s hut at Tangnag.

Please Note: The Mera Peak hike ascends to some high-altitude points. At its highest point, Mera Peak summit, you will reach an altitude of 6,476 meters (21,250 feet). There are steep sections on this trek where you will ascend very rapidly. It is important to have a clear understanding of the risks associated with high altitude trekking and how the body acclimatises to high altitude.

Mera Peak Climbing - 18 Days

Trip Duration 18 Days
Difficulty Level Moderate - Strenuous
Best Season Spring & Autumn
Max Altitude 6480 m

Mera Peak (6480 m) is the highest of trekking peaks in Nepal located in SoluKhumbu district in the Everest region’s eastern part of Nepal. It is a very high mountain although it is a normal climb that requires no technical climbing on this route. One can experience its climb with an average fitness even though no previous experience of climbing.

Mera Peak Climbing 18-Day itinerary is a perfect itinerary designed for all the groups of climbers from begging to experienced adventure enthusiasts. Our guided trip is eighteen days long including some spare days for the acclimatization along the way and it’s completely flexible to attempt the summit in terms of the weather and preparation factors.

We organize this exciting small group and private tour every Spring ( March-May) and Autumn (September-November), our focus has been always on a small group of climbers with moderate climbing and hiking experience looking to try a snowy summit in Nepal which is not a technical but which requires basic alpine skills. Our success rate with small groups is 99 percent since we have been organizing the climbing trip to Mera for almost one and half decades.

However, we also organize private trips for solo travelers with a private guide (one-on-one ratio) at a reasonable price. We have open dates for solo travelers or small groups of friends to sign up, book the tour with a sky-high offer today.

During the trek to Khare, we accommodate you at the tea houses or trekking lodges along the way, and from Khare to High camp or Basecamp, we provide tents for sleeping and clocking tents where we will prepare all your foods including breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

CLIMBING MERA

The multiple-day trek into the peak provides us a great chance to enjoy all aspects of the Himalayan experience, from the lush green forests of the lower Khumbu region before crossing high passes and making your way up into the more sparse and rocky upper reaches. As we near the northern approaches of the peak we pass steep glaciers plunging into spectacular lakes behind huge ridges of glacial moraine.

We use a high camp for this peak so experience camping on the snow and keeping warm, dry, hydrated, and well-fed is important to ensure you're in the best shape for summit day. We have plenty of time on the walk-in, which is stunning, to practice the skills needed. If you're unsure of your suitability do feel free to contact us for a chat at [email protected]

TERRAIN ON THE TREK AND CLIMB OF MERA PEAK

The walk starts by heading south from Lukla and our altitude certainly fluctuates as the path ascends and descends the valleys of the region. Underfoot we have well-trodden paths which at times can be rocky, slippy if wet, and uneven in parts. Our itinerary uses and longer trek in to allow for really good acclimatization and a shorter route back to Lukla after the climb.

Once on the mountain itself, there will be scrambling at times on quite loose rock to below the snow line. Once on the snow, the route can vary depending on local conditions at the time and if required you will be roped up in groups of three or four. The terrain is not difficult but it does require care and alertness. The route is normally well marked, and groups tend to follow a similar 'path'. The terrain requires no technical climbing, but you will need to use winter skills and equipment (ax, crampon) when on the snow, which you will practice on the trek in.

Best Time For Mera Peak Trekking

Mera Peak trekking is a popular option for those looking to explore the Everest region. The best times to make the trips are during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) seasons. These seasons provide the best weather and clearest skies.

Trekking Map, Route & Accommodation To Mera Peak

The trekking route to Mera Peak starts from Lukla, which is a small town in the Everest region of Nepal. Trekking routes from Lukla take you through the Everest region, then onto Mera High Camp after the village of Khare. The trekking route to Mera Peak is a strenuous one and takes around 14 days to complete.

After a short 45 minutes flight from Kathmandu, you’ll find yourself in Lukla – the gateway to the world’s tallest mountain. During your visit to Lukla, you’ll be mesmerized by the beauty of your surroundings and can’t resist taking pictures. While it’s fun to take in the sights, you’ll need to prepare for the trek ahead.

After a relaxing night of sleep, you’ll make your way through Lukla to Chutanga. The trail leads you toward the edge of the forest, where you’ll find beautiful rhododendron and pine trees. You’ll pass through several small villages before you reach the thick woods on the slope beneath the Kalo Himal Ridge.

The next day, you’ll be greeted with spectacular views of Numbur Himal , Kongdi Ri , Karyolang , and numerous other mountains and peaks. You’ll spend the night at Chatara La, and the following day is just as adventurous. You’ll pass through woodlands of juniper, rhododendron, and other local vegetation. Enjoy the views of Mera and the Hinku Valley, and keep an eye out for wild animals like sloth bears and mountain cats among the tall pine trees.

As you trek for hours on your fifth and sixth days, you will reach your acclimatization day on the seventh. Today is another acclimatization day, which means you’ll be moving one day closer to your high peak. Get ready to walk around and prepare for the peak.

Tips for a Successful Mera Peak Climb

Mera Peak is Nepal’s most popular trekking peak and for good reason. At 6,476m it’s the highest trekking peak in the country and offers stunning views of some of the world’s tallest mountains, including Mt. Everest. It’s also a relatively non-technical climb, meaning that you don’t need any special mountaineering skills or equipment for the summit.

However, that doesn’t mean that climbing Mera Peak is easy. You’ll still need to be in good physical shape and be prepared for the altitude. Here are some tips to help you have a successful climb.

1. Choose the right time of year to go

The best times to make the trip, though, are during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) seasons. These months offer the best weather conditions for trekking and climbing, with clear skies and moderate temperatures. Avoid the monsoon season (June to September), when heavy rains and landslides can make the trail impassable.

2. Get in shape

It is probably most important to remember that Mera Peak is only a moderate hike, so you will need to be in good physical shape to reach the summit. If you’re not used to hiking at altitude, start training a few months before your trip. Go for long hikes in the hills or mountains and try to do a few multi-day hikes. If you can, do some hikes with a backpack to get used to the extra weight.

3. Hire a guide

While it is possible to trek and climb Mera Peak without a guide, we highly recommend hiring one. As part of our package, you will receive a guide as well as porters to assist you throughout the trek. As a guide, you won’t only gain insight into the trail and technical sections of the climb, but also gain local knowledge and experience.

4. Stay hydrated & eat healthily

As your trek progresses to higher altitudes, it is extremely important that you stay hydrated and drink plenty of water. Be sure to drink enough water every day – at least 3-4 liters. You might not feel thirsty, but your body needs water to function properly.

On a similar note, it is important that you eat healthily throughout your trek. You’ll burn a lot of calories during your trek, so you need to replenish your energy. Don’t forget to eat plenty of carbs and protein throughout the day. Also, Snacks like nuts and bars are good choices for energy boosters.

5. Be prepared for the altitude

The altitude is one of the biggest challenges on the Mera Peak climb, so it’s important to be prepared for it. The best way to prepare for the climb is to acclimatize yourself. This involves gradually increasing your exposure to altitude over a few days or weeks. Symptoms of altitude sickness can include headache, nausea, vomiting, shortness of breath, and fatigue.

If you start to experience any of these symptoms, it’s important to descend to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In severe cases, altitude sickness can lead to edema (fluid in the lungs) or cerebral edema (fluid on the brain), which can be fatal.

Our trek will take us along the Hinku Khola in the shadow of Mera Peak before we stop at Gondishung , the herders’ settlement on the west bank of the Hinku Drangka for lunch.

There is no assurance that we will have an ideal climate on our arranged day for the summit. Along these lines, this day is put aside as a possibility in the event that we can’t summit the Mera on an ideal day because of awful climate conditions or some other unexpected reason. In any case, if the excursion goes easily, this day won’t be required. This is particularly a climate day (most potentially) as it gets changed habitually.

Detail Itinerary

Day 1 : Arrival in Kathmandu (1,350m/4,428ft)::

Welcome to the land of the Himalayas for experiencing one of the truly magical climbing experiences in Mera Peak. As you arrive in Kathmandu, the City of Temples, and complete the formalities at the customs, you shall be greeted by our representative who shall be there for the reception. You shall then be transferred to the hotel for your stay in a private vehicle by him/her. Get proper rest for the jetlagged body and in the afternoon you may stroll around the streets of Kathmandu to get refreshed. Prepare yourself for the sightseeing of the heritages of Kathmandu and its neighboring cities. Stay overnight in Kathmandu.

Day 2 : Kathmandu (1300m/4264ft): Sightseeing and Preparation::

Today we shall be exploring the medieval-aged heritages of the buzzing and lively Kathmandu city and another well-preserved city of Patan. Today you might want to see the ancient royal palaces in the heart of the old city with the ornate woodcarvings, the home of Kumari , revered as the living goddess, and several other temples and heritages. You may also pay a visit to the Swayambhunath Stupa, the 14th-century stupa also known as the Monkey Temple, which is famous for being the self-appearing stupa. Another heritage is the Boudhanath Stupa, one of the world’s largest stupas in the world, and the sacred Hindu pilgrimage of Pashupatinath Temple located at the bank of the holy Bagmati River. Later in the day, you shall have a full trek briefing by the climbing guide along with a gear check. Cash in the opportunity to clarify any queries regarding climbing to the highest trekking peak in Nepal. Pack your bags and get ready for the adventure beginning the next day. Overnight stay in Kathmandu.

Day 3 : Fly to Lukla and explore around Lukla (2730m/8954ft)::

The journey begins today. We shall take the route through Lukla for the climbing to Mera Peak. The flight to Lukla is a spectacular experience where you fly above the lush hills and valleys, the high Mahabharat hill range, torrential rivers that weave the valleys, and the view of the glittering and humongous Himalayas. Land in the Tenzing-Hillary Airport in Lukla, the gateway to the Khumbu or Everest region and the starting point of most of the trekking expeditions in the region, we shall today explore the richness and diversity of this beautiful village in the hills of eastern Nepal. Lukla, besides being the entry point to the Everest region, is also a full-sized and busy village catering to a large number of tourists and is known for its airport, often called one of the most dangerous airports in the world. We shall also explore the surrounding areas and enjoy the awesome mountainous views around this place, busy yet small market, Chortens, and monasteries, and interact with the locals to get an insight into the local culture and traditions. Stay overnight in Lukla.

Day 4 : Trek to Chutanga (3,430 m/11,250 ft): 3-4 hours::

With the hardworking porters who carry our gear and bags, friendly and experienced climbing Sherpas who shall assist in setting up tents and camps, and the Trekking guide, we shall leave for Chutanga. In an easy and introductory trek today, you shall take on the less traveled trail that takes us eastwards from Lukla. Wander through small hamlets and wood yards, the dense forest that hosts varieties of flora including pines, rhododendron trees, bushes, silver fir, and birch, and you shall reach the foothills of Nau Lekh or the Kalo Himal Ridge. Continuing along the trail that passes through several small streams, lush hillsides, and varieties of vegetation and summer pastures for the cattle before reaching the Chutanga, you shall be enjoying this introductory trekking in the Everest region. Stay overnight in Chutanga in a simple teahouse.

Day 5 : Trek to Thuli Kharka (4320m/13200ft) via Zwatra la (4600 m/14720 ft): 5-6 hours::

The level of strain shall increase a bit today as you shall cross a pass above 4000 meters of altitude. The trek today shall begin after we leave the lush village of Chutanga and have a short and steep climb to cross the Kalo Himal Ridge which is a part of the Nau Lekh range that separates the Khumbu Valley from the Hinku Valley in the region. The steep trekking continues as we shall be proceeding to a pass at 4500m marked with cairns and prayer flags before we head further to the higher Zwatra La Pass at 4600m trekking through a boulder slope and winding path. A pass that may accumulate substantial snowfall in the season, Zwatra La may be a bit difficult and confusing on a bad weather day. However, on a clear weather day, you can have a view of the extensive landscape of Hinku Valley, the mighty Dudh Koshi River, the impressive Lumding Himal, Karyolung Peak, and the rolling hills of the lower valley. Descend from this pass and you shall reach the settlement of Thuli Kharka after trekking for about an hour. Overnight stay in Thuli Kharka.

Day 6 : Trek to Kothe (3600 m, /11808ft): 5-6 hours::

In a wonderful trekking experience today you shall pass through three ridges, namely Hinku River, Hinku Valley, and Kothe. Beginning the trek, we shall have ups and downs from the settlement of Thuli Kharka as we leave the place with the view of sunrise over the high hills surrounding the village. You shall trek over the three rides mentioned earlier and reach the ridge top high above the Hinku River. From this hilltop, you may have a breathtaking view of the south side of Mera Peak if the weather is clear. Further on the trail get ready for a long and steep walk as you shall be descending through a long and narrow path through the dense forest adored by rhododendron trees, pine, and mosses. The trail leads us to the western side of the Hinku Valley. The trail then follows the Hinku River and through a forest with varieties of flora and fauna which shall lead you to Kohte, a settlement surrounded by high hills and guarded by huge boulders. Get rest during the overnight stay in Kothe.

Day 7 : Kothe to Thaknak (4,350m/14,270ft): 3-4 hours::

The trek today continues along the riverbed of the Hinku River and through the dense forest covered with rhododendron flowers mainly. Following the rocky riverbed, the remainder of the glacial lake outburst, and the trek continues upstream of the river. We reach the small village of Gondishung, a place for lunch for the trekkers and summer settlement, and thereafter to the Lungsumgba gompa, a 200-year-old Tibetan-styled monastery. Through the confluence of the Hinku and Sanu Drangka rivers and loose boulders, we carefully trek with the excellent views of the Kusum Kangaru and Peak 43 mountains to reach the Thaknak village after some trekking. Thaknak is a small village and a summer settlement with a few teashops and lodges. Overnight stay in Thaknak.

Day 8 : Thaknak to Khare (5,045m/16,486ft): 2-3 hours::

The destination for today is Khare, a small settlement we shall be using for acclimatization before we proceed for the Mera Peak climbing. Today we leave the village of Thaknak and follow the lateral moraine of Dig Glacier to reach the summer settlement of Dig Kharka. Here the trekkers can have the pleasure of witnessing the marvelous view of the Charpate Himal. We climb carefully through the lateral moraines and to the terminal face of the Hinku Nup and Shar glaciers. The climb further is steeper till we reach our destination for today, Khare. This place provides an amazing view of the northern face of Mera Peak, our ultimate destination. We shall be using this place as our base camp before we head for climbing Mera Peak. You may also opt for some light hiking around this place. Stay overnight in Khare.

Day 9 : Rest day in Khare/Acclimatisation:::

Today we shall separate our efforts for acclimatization as we shall be climbing as we head ahead from this place to the base camp and summit of Mera Peak. During our acclimatization, we shall be going for a day hike of a couple of hours to a glacier where we shall be practicing ice climbing as per the instruction of the leader of our expedition. Give your full attention to the instructions provided to you as these shall come in handy while you are climbing to the summit of Mera Peak. You shall have an idea of the use of an ice axe, climbing boots, crampons, harnesses, ascenders as well as the use of rope to go up and down. Learning these climbing techniques shall be useful to make your ascent to Mera Peak a successful one. After a few hours of practice, you shall return to the camp and prepare the equipment and pack your bags for the experience you are striving for the past several days. Stay overnight in a camp in Khare.

Day 10 : Khare to Mera Base Camp (5300m/17,384ft): 3-4 hours::

You shall be one step closer to your destination today as we shall be looking forward to reaching the Mera Peak Base Camp. There shall be short yet hard trekking to the base camp. On a trail marked with several boulders, big and small, the trail begins with a climb to the height of the moraine above Khare. Trekkers then have a slow and gradual ascent through a steep slope of snow to reach the bowl-like landscape. Trekkers then reach the Mera La Pass (5,415m) where the breathtaking views of Mera Peak and the surrounding areas can be seen. Descend little to find a suitable camping spot at the base camp on the side of Honku Himal. Trekkers may go for more practice if they feel that previous practice in Khare was not sufficient. Marvel at the spectacular sunset over the Honku Himal where the peak glows red due to the setting sun. Stay overnight in Mera Base Camp.

Day 11 : Mera Base Camp to High camp (5,780m/18,958ft): 4-5 hours::

Today we shall have a final preparation for tomorrow’s summit as we head further up the altitude to set up High Camp. The trek to the High Camp is a rather dangerous one as several crevasses have been reported after fresh snowfall in previous ascents, on this rocky trail. Even the trekkers not going for the climb to the peak can very well reach up to this place. From the High Camp, we have a stunning view of five of the world’s highest peaks including Makalu, Lhotse, Everest, Cho Oyu, and Kanchenjunga ranging from east to west. Marked by a large cairn, the High Camp provides a truly outstanding view of the sunset over the Himalayas though there is very limited camping available for the climbers. This may result in three people sharing a single tent. The glowing peaks of Makalu and other mountains are capable of taking your breath away. Prepare your equipment and clothes for the summit, for which we shall be moving very early from the High Camp. stay overnight in a tent in High Camp.

Day 12 : Mera High Camp to Summit (6,461m/21,1907ft) and back to Khare (5045m/16,547ft): 8-9 hours::

The ultimate destination of this trekking expedition arrives! With the target of conquering Mera Peak, we begin our ascent at least 3-4 hours prior to sunrise. After breakfast, the skilled members of the group fixed ropes and crampons, and the remaining members set out for the ascent. Continuing up the ridge and onto the ridge, we climb slowly armed with an ice axe and crampons avoiding the crevasses beneath us. Climbing speed becomes slow due to the altitude. In a non-technical ascent, as the dawn arrives, we have ourselves ascending steeply to the east of the left-hand ridge before moving to the right for making the summit easier. As the sherpas fix safety ropes to the bottom of the last part of the summit climb, we take a rest at the South Col and observe the marvelous sunrise over the Himalayas, the breathtaking scenery dominated by the white and lofty peaks, and prepare ourselves for the final push. We take on the steepest part of the climb in this last section with the help of jumar and keep avoiding the crevasses that change every year. Being on the top of the peak shall give you an extraordinary, jubilant, and triumphed feel. The magnificent view of Everest (8848m), Lhotse (8516m), Cho Oyu (8201m), Makalu (8463m), Kanchenjunga (8586m), Nuptse (7855m), Lobuche East (6145m), Chamlang (7319m) and other sibling peaks makes the climber forget every pain and strain overcome to reach to this point. Spending some time living your dream, you shall then leave the summit and head for Khare. Climbing down the summit is rather quick and easy as compared to the ascent, though this shall still be supported by the ropes fixed by the sherpas. After a long, strenuous, and highly rewarding day, we stay overnight in a tent in Khare.

Day 13 : Reserve Day for Contingency::

We have set this day aside for any contingency that may be occurring during our ascent to the Peak. This day is separated for cases where the ascent gets delayed when climbers take more than the estimated time to acclimatize, when the weather goes bad and when the ascent has to be delayed due to other contingent reasons. If the ascent is completed without delay, we can use this day for ice climbing or other activities.

Day 14 : Khare to Kothe (3600m/11808ft): 4-5 hours::

The trail used during our descent is the same as the route used for the ascent. Starting with the steep descent from Khare, we trek through the moraines of Dig glacier, settlements of Dig Kharka and Thaknak, fast-flowing rivers, traces of glacial outburst, rocky riverbed and twisting trail, summer settlements, and dense forest with varieties of vegetation and species of plants, views of the snow-capped and glittering mountains and the villages perched in the hillside with a unique lifestyle. Admiring the natural beauty and diversity of the region, we have our overnight stay in Kothe. Reaching Kothe, we shall be celebrating our successful climb with local delicacies and drinks. Overnight stay in Kothe.

Day 15 : Kothe to Thuli Kharka: 5-6 hours::

The trek along the Inkhu River continues today as we trek further to a lower altitude in the latter days of our trek in the Everest region. We trek past the ancient gompa with the map of Mardi Peak climbing encrypted on it, lush forests dominated by the rhododendron flower (the national flower of Nepal), small streams, and a couple of summer settlements before we reach Tashing Ongma which has tea shops in the season. We branch off the trail and walk through the viewpoint, a forest dotted with several vegetation, and lush hills and valleys. After reaching the settlement of Thuli Kharka, we take the desired rest and enjoy the view of the mountain of Mera North, Mera Central, and South Face, and the valleys leading up to the south side. Stay overnight in Thuli Kharka.

Day 16 : Thuli Kharka to Lukla: 6-7 hours::

This is the last section of where you shall be trekking before returning to Kathmandu. We start the trek by leaving the settlement of Thuli Kharka and reach the Zatrwa La Pass trekking past the prayer flags and cairns in an ascending walk. The top of this pass provides you with a view of Lukla valley and several lofty mountain peaks including the Cho Oyu, Kusum Khangru, Kongde Peak, and many others. With difficult terrain up in the past and the trail leading to a precarious height above the valley floor, the pass is a bit challenging for the trekkers who have been a part of long trekking. After the pass, trekkers descend all the way down to the Chutanga, and then in a straightforward walk, they reach the destination of Lukla. This marks the end of this trekking day and also the end of trekking in our expedition. We celebrate the successful trek in the region and climbing to the Mera Peak, with our fellow crew and team members with tasty local cuisines and drinks. We now prepare ourselves for the return to Kathmandu. Stay overnight in Lukla.

Day 17 : Lukla to Kathmandu::

Today we shall leave for Kathmandu. The flight to Kathmandu is generally scheduled in the morning to avoid the disturbances caused by afternoon wind in Lukla. Trekkers should be prepared for the delay or cancellation of flights due to the bad weather which is beyond our control. The flight takes you over the vast landscape of hills of Nepal with the view of the Himalayas, lush valleys, and other natural beauties. After you land in the domestic terminal of Tribhuvan International Airport , you shall be transferred to your hotel. Take proper rest and later in the day you may go for some afternoon shopping to take with you some souvenirs for your near and dear ones. You may also wander around in the streets of Thamel. Pack your bags for your return flight to the onward destination. Stay overnight in Kathmandu.

Day 18 : Departure Day::

The adventurous, exciting, and entertaining Mera Peak Climbing comes to an end today. You may engage in some other activities if you have booked with us or you may go for last-minute shopping. Extend your stay and enjoy other packages if you have enough time for staying in Nepal. You shall be transferred to the airport for your flight to your onward destination by a representative of Nepal Mountain Trekkers. We thank you for being a part of our team and we hope that you have created some of the best memories of your life during this trek.

What our customers say about us

A truly amazing climbing experience and remarkable memories!

What’s the best way to trek in to Mera Peak? Only with Ramesh’s team! A lot of the success and enjoyment during the treck comes from good teamwork and communication and you can be sure that it won’t be missed. The treck is not technical but quite demanding but offering majestic views! Ramesh and his guides and porters are very knowledgable and get personally involved in the trips so you can be sure you are in good hands. They are fast, strong and trustworthy. Krishna, our guide turned out to be an excelent teacher as well and at the end of the trip I knew basic Nepali phrases! I am looking forward to continuing to hike/treck/climb with Ramesh and his team for as long as my itchy feet are able!!

In the evening, we cordially invite you to join us for a welcome dinner hosted by the company. Following this, the next day you will embark on a flight to Lukla to commence your trekking adventure.

Lukla Flight Information (Kathmandu & Ramechhap):

We would like to update you on important changes regarding Lukla flights during peak trek seasons (March, April, May, October, and November). Due to increased air traffic in these months, Lukla flights will be operated from Manthali airport in Ramechhap instead of Kathmandu. However, during non-peak seasons (January, February, June, July, August, September, and December), Lukla flights will continue to operate from Kathmandu.

If you are catching a Lukla flight from Ramechhap, please be advised that you need to depart from Kathmandu early in the morning, around 1:30 to 2:00 AM. The journey from Kathmandu to Ramechhap takes approximately 4-5 hours. Your guide will arrive at your hotel at the specified time to pick you up and drive you to Ramechhap.

It’s important to note that Lukla flights may face disruptions due to factors such as bad weather, airline technical problems, and other unforeseen circumstances. Therefore, we recommend planning for an additional 2-3 days as a contingency to accommodate potential delays.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in adapting to these changes for a smoother and more enjoyable trekking experience.

Tea House Meals During EBC Trek:

Nepal Peak Adventure consistently provides our clients with top-notch lodging and dining options. Our Everest Base Camp package includes three full-board meals: breakfast, lunch, and dinner, complemented by tea or coffee at each meal. Throughout the trek, you can choose your meals from the teahouse menu, which offers a variety of local and international dishes, ensuring you maintain energy levels with nourishing meals.

You have the flexibility to opt for Nepali, Western, or Indian cuisines during the entire trek, and the cost of food is covered in the package, allowing you to relish your preferred meals. We highly recommend trying Dal and Bhaat, a typical Nepali dish. For day hikes, it’s beneficial to carry energy bars or dried fruits and stay well-hydrated.

For health reasons, we strongly advise against consuming non-vegetarian items throughout the trek.

Typical Day during EBC trek:

Your trek officially begins upon your arrival in Lukla. Each day, a typical routine commences with a substantial breakfast served between 6:30 to 7:30 AM. After breakfast, you set out on your trek, progressing toward the planned destinations. Before starting the trek, it is advisable to pack all the essentials for the day hike in your backpack, while your duffel bags will be carried by the porter at their own pace.

Throughout the journey, you will make regular stops for short breaks to hydrate, have snacks, or capture photos. Typically, after three to four hours of trekking, a lunch break is scheduled along the route.

Upon reaching the designated overnight stay, you have the opportunity to relax or explore the surrounding area. In the evening, around 6 to 7 PM, dinner will be served. Following dinner, you can engage in conversation with your guide, who will also brief you about the plan for the next day. Subsequently, you can choose to retire to bed or spend your time playing cards, reading books, or simply relaxing at your own pace.

About Wifi, Charging, and Electricity Facility in Tea Houses:

Upon your airport arrival, it is recommended to acquire a Nepali SIM card (with Ncell being a suggested choice) for the duration of your entire trek. You can opt for a tourist data pack that remains accessible for most of the trek, covering locations like Lukla, Namche, Phakding, and Gorakshep. While teahouses generally offer WiFi facilities, there are additional charges ranging from approximately 300-500 per device. Hence, having a data pack proves beneficial in these regions.

In Tyangboche or Deboche, Dingboche, and Lobuche, you can obtain a WiFi card from Airlink. They offer an unlimited internet package at the cost of NRS 700 for 24 hours and NRS 1200 for 48 hours. This Airlink WiFi is accessible in almost all teahouses along the way but can only be logged in on one device.

For charging, an extra fee is required, depending on the devices and duration. Free charging is available until Namche, where there is an electricity supply. However, after Namche, particularly from Dingboche onward, all teahouses rely on solar energy, and charging your devices is not free. The pricing for charging varies from place to place. Note that charging may be slow and challenging at times due to low solar energy.

Best season for Everest Bsae Camp trek 14 Days:

The key ingredient for a successful Everest Base Camp trek is timing it right. The optimal seasons for trekking are spring (March to May) and autumn (November to December). However, it’s worth noting that during these peak seasons, the trail tends to be crowded with fellow trekkers. If you prefer a less crowded experience, choosing the shoulder times such as post-monsoon and pre-winter is an option, and Nepal Peak Adventure can seamlessly arrange it for you.

Preparation for trekking in Nepal is a crucial aspect, and when it comes to packing gear, careful selection of the right materials is essential. A well-thought-out preparation and packing strategy contribute significantly to the success of the trek.

We conduct a thorough packing list check during the briefing session in Kathmandu and provide you with a company duffel bag. It’s important to note that there is a weight limit of 20 kg for luggage carried by our porter, with one porter assigned for two trekkers. Therefore, each trekker’s luggage weight should not exceed 10 kg. We kindly request you to pack accordingly.
