Overview

Mera Peak 6476m is located in Solukhumbu District,Everest region in Nepal. it is Far and above the most rewarding aspect of a trip. A trek to Mera is a chance to venture into a little-visited and as yet unspoiled region of Nepal. There is also the pleasure of going above 6,000 m.

You will have excellent views of five morethan 8000m-peaks in Nepal like Mt.Everest 8848m, Lhotse8393m,Makalu 8468M, Mt.Choyou8188m,Kangchenjunga 8586m and other spectacular snowcaped peaks.

Porters to make our trip more enjoyable and culturally interesting will carry our food and equipment.

There are many approaches to Mera; some are easy and some require the crossing of high and difficult passes, making a trek to the peak a real mountaineering adventure for which effort is rewarded with spectacular scenery and ultimately one of the finest viewpoints in Nepal.

The ascent of the peak is technically straightforward, however, the heavy snow and the maze of crevasses can make the way longer to the summit.
