The Trekking Route of Climbing Mera Peak
Mera Peak climbing begins with a scenic 35-minute flight from Kathmandu to Lukla. Which is one of the busiest airports in Nepal’s famous area of the Everest Region.
The Kathmandu to Lukla flight is wonderful, offering stunning views of the Himalayas as you approach the airport nestled on a mountaintop. Upon arrival at Lukla (2,820 meters), you'll begin the trek immediately, walking for 3 to 4 hours to your first camp, Chuthanga.
Trekking towards Makalu Baruntse National Park
Day 2, Adventure High Pass, which is good training for acclimatization, Zatrwa La Pass at 4,600 meters, and drop a few hundred meters down in Chetrabu.
And then, trekking will continue along Kothe village, Thagnak, and finally reach Khare (the base camp for Mera Peak). This section of the trek offers mesmerizing views of lush forests, alpine meadows, and high mountains in the distance.
Rest and Acclimatization in Khare
Khare (5,045 meters) is an important stop for climbers, allowing for a much-needed rest day and acclimatization before ascending to high altitude. Resting and acclimatizing here is crucial to avoid altitude sickness.
We recommend hiking to Mera La few hundred meters ascending (5,400 meters), which is a popular excursion point during the rest day, giving you an excellent view of the surrounding glaciers and mountain ranges.
Training by Climbing Guide
Your safety, success, and satisfaction are our top priorities. Our professional climbing guide will provide essential training before the ascent. You’ll learn basic climbing techniques, including how to use equipment properly and how to move safely on icy and snowy terrain. Pay close attention to instructions and practice under supervision. This hands-on training helps ensure a smooth and successful summit without unexpected issues.
Camping at High Camp
After acclimatizing at Khare, you’ll trek to High Camp at 5,800 meters, which takes about 4 to 5 hours. You’ll arrive around lunchtime.
After a meal, we recommend a short acclimatization walk. Our team sets up a comfortable tented camp, and our cook prepares hot, energizing meals to keep you strong and warm.
Summit Day: Reaching Top of Mera Peak (6,476m)
Your final goal begins early—around 1 to 2 AM—to avoid strong afternoon winds. Our experienced climbing guide will brief you in advance on how to move, stay safe, and work as a team.
You’ll climb 676 meters, mostly on gradual snow slopes. The final 50 meters are steep and technical, where your guide will fix ropes for safety. Follow instructions carefully and enjoy the thrill of the climb.
At the summit, witness jaw-dropping views of five of the world’s tallest mountains:
You will see all 5 of the tallest Himalayas in the Everest region, like panoramic views.
- Mt. Everest (8848 m/29029 ft.)—the world's highest peak.
- Kanchenjunga (8586 m/28170 ft.)—3rd highest peak.
- Mt. Lhotse (8516 m/27940 ft.)—4th highest peak.

After the Summit - Descend & Celebrate
After the summit, descend easily back to High Camp for hot food and drinks. You’ll feel relief as breathing becomes easier with lower altitude.
From there, return to Khare, celebrate with your team, then trek back via the same route: Thagnak – Kothe – Zatrwa La –Lukla, and fly to Kathmandu.
