Mera Peak Climbing

Mera Peak is officially the highest among all 18 permitted trekking peaks. Mera Peak rises approx. 11 kilometers to the south of Mt. Everest. Climbing Mera Peak is moderately challenging, and for many first-time Nepal climbers Mera Peak offers a thrilling opportunity to try some Himalayan rock and ice. The climb is not too technical except you will need good adaptation to altitude and some basic experience with climbing equipment, including ice axe and crampons. As always, the key to a successful trip at high altitude is a slow start and plenty of time to acclimatize.


              The approach trek up to Mera Peak gives us the opportunity to explore both the rich Sherpa culture and the wilderness areas of the Hinku Valley. The trek can be started at Phaplu airstrip, Lukla airstrip or Tumlingtar airstrip after 30 minutes flight from Kathmandu. Our trekking staff will meet you at any of these remote airstrips. We will walk through lush green hills, forests of rhododendrons and bamboo, and deep river gorges. Our Sherpa staff will set a base and high camps to allow preparing for the summit and resting. The trek and climb of Mera Peak is fully supported with everything we need for each day. Our Sherpa climbers, if necessary, can train less experienced (but physically fit) trekkers on how to use ice axe and crampons. Our responsive Sherpa staff will make sure that the fixed rope is set up properly, and assist all the climbers to reach the summit.
           

Our Sherpa family guides are well trained in both ice and snow climbing; most have been climbing high peaks for at least 15 years. Some of those high peaks include Everest, Makalu, Dhaulagiri and Kanchanjunga. Yak Tail Treks family trek and guide staff are well trained, responsible, pro-safety, and pro-security. As a small Sherpa family-operated trekking company with low overhead, Yak Tail Treks is able to serve individuals and small groups on flexible schedules. Our family staff guide treks and climbs not only at peak season, but all year round, weather permitting.
