Mera Peak Climbing 15 Days

The Khumbu (Everest) region of Nepal's Mera Peak Climbing 15 days, is regarded as the most magnificent and tallest trekking peak in the area and is gaining popularity among trekkers and climbers worldwide.

When daring trekkers succeed in their endeavor to climb Mera, it is one of their proudest moments. From the horizontal vantage point you set up not far from the summit of the Mera Peak, you can see the huge and incredible adornment of the 8000-meter Mountains, including Everest, Kanchenjunga, Makalu, Lhotse, Cho-Oyu, and numerous other opposite peaks. Mera Peak, one of the world's most dangerous airstrips, is seen after traveling for 40–45 minutes to the mountain airfield of Lukla.

You will be eating lunch a little before Surke at Pakhapani. After lunch, we will resume our trek toward Paiya, our final destination for the day, passing through several traditional villages, jungles, and hills.

Day 2: Paiya (2730m) to Pangkoma (2850m)

The journey from Paiya to Pangkoma will be arduous and protracted. We travel east from Paiya, passing by Khari-khola and Bumbari.

Along the steep mountain track, the trekking route passes through rhododendron and bamboo forests. Before arriving in the farming and trading village of Pangkongama for a night's rest, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the Dudhkoshi River valley and Dudh Kund Himal from the trails.

Day 3: Pangkoma (2850m) to Ramailo Danda (3,276m)

As we depart Pangkoma, we turn toward Ramailo Danda. You will reach Ningsow after a few hours of trekking after crossing a lot of mani walls and prayer flags. Additionally, Pangkoma La Pass (3,174m) will be crossed. Moving on from Ningsow to Ramailo Danda, the path gets more difficult. 

Day 4: Ramailo Danda (3,276m) to Chetrakhola (3,150m): 7 to 8 hours

The hike from Ramailo Danda begins on a gorgeous trail where, during the right time of year, rhododendrons bloom. You could even get to glimpse the endangered red panda. We'll get to Chetrakhola and spend the night there.

Day 5: Chetrakhola (3,150m) to Kothe (3,600m) 6 to7 hours

As we depart Chetra Khola and travel to Kothe in the north, we take in the views of Mera Peak. Your route continues along the Majang Khola until merging with another road that follows the Hinku Khola passing through forests populated with rhododendron, pine, and mossy trees. Finally, after crossing the Sanu Khola (river), you will arrive at Kothe, where you will spend the rest of the day.

Day 6: Kothe (3,600m) to Thaknak (4,350m)

The Hinku River's west bank is the path that leads from Kote to Tangnang. Yaks and sheep can graze on grasslands in the Hinku River valley. The trail becomes increasingly difficult as you progress until you reach Gondishung, which is famous for the Lungsumgba monastery. Walking from Tangnang to Gondishung takes around an hour.

Day 7: Trek from Thaknak (4,356m) to Khare (5,045m)

The short but arduous hike we're doing today crosses the Hinku and Shar Glaciers. To get to Khare, leave Dig Kharka by way of a steeply ascending lateral moraine track. Excellent views of Mera Peak's northern face can be had from Khare.

Day 8: Acclimatization day at Khare (5,045m)

You should acclimatize now that you have climbed more than 5,000 meters in elevation. Our climbing guide will train you how to use your climbing gear and equipment while you're acclimatizing. They'll also evaluate your tools. You might also choose to ascend a neighboring hill and take in the scenery from the top. 

Day 9: Khare (5,045m) to Mera High Camp (5,780m)

You'll be employing your technical climbing abilities for the first time today. The rocky routes, cold glaciers, and even tiny crevasses are all traversed by the steep trails. You can see Nuptse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, Lhotse, Baruntse, and Everest from the Mera Base High Camp.

Day 10: Mera High Camp (5,800m) to Summit to Mera Peak (6,654m) and back to Khare (5,045m)

It's going to be a long day today. Around one in the morning, you'll get up and eat breakfast. The ascent then begins. To avoid the blustery gusts around noon, climbing begins early in the morning.

You must adhere to your guide's recommendations to reach Mera Peak's summit. From the summit, one can see several peaks, including Mount Everest (8,848 meters), Cho-Oyu (8210 meters), Lhotse (8516 meters), Makalu (8481 meters), Kangchenjunga (8586 meters), Nuptse (7861 meters), Chamlang (7319 meters), Baruntse (7129 meters), Ama Dablam (6812 meters), and Kangtega (6779 meters).

After admiring the scenery and congratulating yourself on your fortitude, you will descend to Mera Peak Base Camp and then spend the night in Khare.

Day 11: Set aside a day for emergencies

We will utilize this backup day to climb Mera Peak if you weren't successful the previous day. Otherwise, we'll take it easy, relax, and travel around Khare.

Day 12: Khare (5,045m) to Kothe (4,182m)

Day 13: Kothe (4095m) to Thuli Kharka (3,900m) 5 to 6 hours

Early in the morning, we depart Kothe in search of Thuli Kharka. To get to Thuli Kharka, the trail initially climbs while traversing a thick forest. It then continues along the western side of Hinku Valley.

Mera North (6476m), Mera Central (6461m), and the southern face of Mera Peak (6476m) can all be seen clearly from Thuli Kharka.

Day 14: Thuli Kharka (3,900m) to Lukla (2,840m) 6 to 7 hours

You have a long hike ahead of you. Your route takes you to the Kalo Himal ridge and continues upward until you reach the 4,600m (15,092ft) Zatrawa La Pass. You will descend to Chutanga and then Lukla after this pass. Your final night will be spent in the trekking area.

Day 15: Fly back to Kathmandu (1,400m) from Lukla (2,850m)
