Mera Peak stands at 6,476m, making it the highest trekking peak in Nepal.

Mera Peak is considered a non-technical climb, making it an ideal introduction to Himalayan mountaineering. Previous high-altitude trekking experience is recommended, but not essential along with good fitness and stamina.

While the climbing itself is not highly technical, the altitude makes Mera Peak a serious challenge. Success requires preparation, fitness, and a strong mindset.

Our Mera Peak expedition runs for around 21 days, including acclimatisation days, rest periods, contingency time for weather and days in Kathmandu.

We trek through the Hinku Valley, beginning with a flight into Lukla and a crossing of the Zatrwa La Pass before reaching Mera Peak Base Camp at Khare. We prefer this route as we spend an extra night for acclimatisation in Chutanga at 3020m, then spend another night at Kharki Teng (3800m), now ready to ascend the Zatrwa La (4600m), gaining valuable altitude before we drop down to the village of Toktok (3900) and then drop even further into the forest to Kothe (3691m). From here we gradually gain in altitude as we trek towards our Base Camp in Khare (5045), before we start our climb of Mera Peak.

We build in rest and acclimatisation days with short hikes to higher elevations before sleeping lower. This proven system improves your strength at altitude and increases summit success.

Accommodation is a mix of local tea houses in villages and tented camps higher on the mountain. At Base Camp, we have a comfortable lodge-style setup for rest and preparation.

We provide nutritious, freshly prepared meals throughout the trek and climb, designed to keep you strong and fuelled at altitude.

You will need a full high-altitude trekking and climbing kit, including mountaineering boots, crampons, harness and layered clothing. Everest One provides you with a detailed gear list and assists with advice and guidance on gear selection. Specialist climbing gear can be hired in our Base Camp of Khare and we pre-book the equipment required, including boot sizes if you don't already have your own equipment.

On summit day and during the climb to High Camp, we climb roped together as a team across the glacier. The slopes are moderate, and fixed ropes are rarely required, but you will need basic rope and crampon skills, which we provide training and instruction on prior to climbing the mountain.

We recommend 6–12 months of physical preparation, focusing on endurance, leg strength, core stability, and carrying a pack on steep terrain. Hiking, stair climbing, and weight training are excellent preparation.

You should be in excellent trekking condition with the ability to hike 6–8 hours a day while carrying a pack. Mental resilience is equally important for dealing with altitude and long days.

Our 1:3 client-to-Sherpa ratio means you will always have a dedicated Sherpa by your side. Your safety and progress are monitored daily by our experienced guides.

Every Everest One Mera Peak expedition is led by a professional Western guide with extensive Himalayan experience, supported by our world-class Sherpa team.

Safety is our number one priority. We carry satellite communications, first aid equipment, emergency oxygen, and evacuation plans. Our team is highly trained in high-altitude medicine and rescue.

The best seasons are pre-monsoon (April–May) and post-monsoon (October–November), when the weather is most stable and views are clear.

We keep our teams small and personal, usually no more than 10 climbers, to ensure maximum support and flexibility.

From the summit of Mera Peak you can see Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, and Kanchenjunga — five of the six highest mountains on earth.
