Additional Information

Mera Climbing Direction

The other day after your Kathmandu arrival, the tour guide of Nepal Trekking Routes takes you around Kathmandu Valley. You will be visiting the UNESCO World Heritage Sites located here in the valley. On the third day, you fly from Kathmandu to Lukla, Tenzing Hillary Airport. Leaving the traditional route to Everest Base Camp trek, you divert towards the eastern part to Chutok for Mera Peak Climbing

Crossing the ridge that divides the Dudh Koshi River Valley and the Hinku Valley, you move towards Mera Peak vicinity. You have to cross Chhetra La Pass (also Zatrawa La Pass: 4,600 m), which is the highest pass of the trail to Mera Central Peak. Following the Pasang Lhamu trekking trail, you move across Makalu Barun National Park. On the way, you go past some Sherpa, Rai and Tamang villages as well.

In the course of the trekking in Nepal, you spend nights at Kothe, Thaknak and Khare as the stopovers. During the acclimatization day at Khare, the Sherpa guide gives you basic trainings about peak climbing in Nepal. He also trains you to use the climbing gears so that you can scale the peak comfortably. He gives you some techniques about avoiding the possible haphazard while ascending to the peak.

Mera Peak Climbing Difficulty

Of course, it is not much easy to climb a trekking peak in Nepal, which is covered with the thick layers of the snow. If the expedition in Nepal is not made on the right time, you may meet with an accident, too. Similarly, if the team leader is not experienced and tactical, you may not be able to reach the final destination. We come to hear many cases when the climbers or mountaineers have lost the part of the body like hands or feet. Others have lost their lives being swept away by the avalanches.

Although it is not much technical, Mera Peak climbing is a quite challenging task. The section from the High Camp to the summit is more challenging. You need to start the climb around 2 am. You have to cross some crevasses to reach the top of this peak. The headlamp is the only option to find out the right track to reach the Mera Peak Central Summit.
