OVERVIEW


Mera Peak climbing offers an exclusive opportunity to summit the highest trekking peak of Nepal at 6476 meters with excellent views of eight-thousanders like Makalu, Lhotse, Cho Oyu, Kanchenjunga including top of the world Mt. Everest.  Mera Peak is one of the most alluring trekking peaks in Nepal as it involves a culturally stimulating journey through remote picturesque villages of our Sherpas and forests, followed by a gentle climb to the summit. Mera Peak is perhaps best known because it is Nepal’s highest trekking peak and successful summits are rewarded with a spectacular panorama of five 8,000m peaks.

Mera Peak via Phaplu nowadays is considered reliable and adventurous trek that leads to the summit of Mera Peak through different routes starting from a lower part of Everest  region. This route will allow you to skip the Lukla or any other mountain flight. The return journey includes passing through the ZatravLa pass, allowing for a loop in the trek

Although Mera Peak is very high, the climbing is straightforward. The quickest way to get to Mera Peak is via the Zatrwa La Pass. However, we trek into the mountain via a longer route, which provides better acclimatization. This also takes you off the beaten track and immerses the team in local culture along the way. We have designed our Mera peak itinerary in a professional manner with perfect acclimatization and contingency days. This trip is ideal for those with moderate mountaineering experience, a good level of fitness, and a keen sense of adventure who are not experts but still want to reach the top of a majestic mountain in the Himalayas.

Flexible Itineraries 

There are several different routes to reach Mera  Peak and the ending point within the lower Khumbu area that engages getting to Mera Peak. The Mera peak itinerary depends on a number of factors including mode of transportation, the route you take, and your time availability. we can craft a good tailored made trip based on how much time you have. You can check our mera peak via Panggom for shorter duration

    GEARS AND EQUIPMENT


    Having the right equipment on your adventure trips will make almost as much difference to your success, safety, comfort, and enjoyment as any physical training you do. It is essential that you take the time to acquire the correct gear; don’t wait for the last minute to find out your local shop doesn’t have your size. This equipment is expensive, but you can often find great sales online and at your local gear store. The purpose of this gear list is to help guide your purchases.

    This list is a guide. While you are required to bring everything on this list, there are numerous options, brands, and versions of each piece of equipment, unless otherwise noted. Using our current suggested brand list we encourage you to shop around, do research, use your experience and the listed features to find the best gear for you.

    During your time in the mountains, you will encounter a very wide range of temperatures and weather conditions. At one end of this range is the pleasantly warm and beautiful low land, while at the other end of the spectrum is found the cold and often windy weather of the highest peaks in the world. The equipment you bring must function well in a wide variety of conditions. Your clothing should be warm, lightweight, dry quickly, and allow good freedom of movement. The layering principle, based on several thin layers of insulation
    (rather than one thick one), covered with an outer weatherproof shell, meets these needs well.

    A Note on Packing 

    For your international flights, we recommend that you pack all your equipment in your two duffle bags. Do not simply pack your backpack (since the straps can be damaged by the baggage handling machines). It is important to lock these bags for their trip. Depending on the airport, you may be able to put your travel locks on after TSA has searched the bags. If not, Lock the bags with Zip Ties. If the TSA cuts off the zip-tie to search your bag, they will replace it. You will still need the travel locks to lock your bags in the hotel and during the expedition. Generally, you will take one duffel up to Base Camp, and leave one in the hotel in Kathmandu with your belongings for your time in the city. Your trek in duffel will only be accessible in the evenings (with items such as changes of clothing, sleeping bag), and your day pack will hold vitals such as water, layering, blister kit, and camera.

         Important Notes:

    • Don’t cut corners on the quality of gears
    • Understand the function of each gear properly
    • Acquire your gears well in advance
    • Eliminate unnecessary luxuries
    • Seasonal fluctuation will impact the requirement of gear

          Tips:

    • You can always rent gears if you are not willing to invest
    • Check the sizes especially of boots before leaving for the mountain
    • Wear summit socks while trying the boots

    Conclusion:

    Sometimes, it can rain and snow during the trekking period.  You need to remember that for a successful trekking journey, your physical comfort must be the first priority.

    Note:

    Please note that these items listed above will vary according to the season, trek duration. Please remember that your luggage will be carried by the porter, but you need to carry a daypack on your own. We also suggest you pack only necessary items to keep the weight of your equipment to a minimum. Carrying a day pack only applies to the trekkers who take full package with us and those who take only guide they should bring the bag big enough to carry their own stuff. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at your convenience.
