Overview
Trek Description
Mera Peak (6654m.) which is situated in the Everest region is the most popular and highest official trekking peak in Nepal. This peak is linked with the remote Hinku and Hunku valley which offers the exceptional Himalayan panoramic view of the five world's 8000-meter peaks, Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyo, and Kanchenjunga. Mera peak climbing is challenging and adventurous which is technically straightforward and physically demanding. It requires strong physical fitness and a sense of adventure in the climbers. While climbing the summit of Mera Peak, you can have the most spectacular view of the entire Himalayan ranges of the Everest region. This climbing and trekking take you through the undamaged trail of the Everest region. The remote and untouched Hinku and Hunku valley provides you with a unique experience that will be a lifetime memory. On the way to the Mera peak, you enjoy the natural and cultural beauty of the Everest region.
The journey to the Mera peak climbing starts from Lukla after the 30 minutes scenic flight from Kathmandu. During the trek you walk through the undamaged hill with dense forest which provides you the wilderness experience of the Everest region. en route you traverse through the dense forest of Rhododendron and pine forest, remote ethnic settlement of Sherpa people and another group, terraced farming, valleys enjoying the beauty of nature, and amazing view of mountains. On the way to the base camp, you can explore various flora and fauna and encounter wild animals and birds like sloth bears and jungle cats if you are lucky. From the base camp, the peak can be climbed in one day but it is better to set high camp to enjoy the panoramic view of the mountains. The best seasons to go for Mera Peak climbing are spring and autumn.

This is the third times we've trekked with Imperial Nepal Trek and definitely with the same super guide Hari and very strong porter Raju. We did Annapurna round with Tilicho lake in Apr 2022 and Everest base camp via Gokyo in Oct 2022. Now it's time to step up to Mera peak. With 6476m of the Mera peak and the extreme weather on the top, it's pretty tough for us but the trip was well prepared with contingency plan. Hari is very experienced guide with a lot of knowledge on trails. Everything went very smooth. We can success to summit the Mera peak with super view on the top. It's quite memorable for us indeed. A lot of good things happened on the trip, I have to special thank to Ram, Hari, and Raju to help us succeed on our goal.
