Mera Peak climbing Details

Mera Peak Climbing is acclaimed as a favored climbing adventure of Everest region in Solukhumbu district. In the Everest region of Nepal, there are more than 300 mountains out of a total of 600, creating a majestic and towering landscape. This region has been a paradise for mountaineers for over 70 years. It boasts four of the world’s highest peaks, each exceeding 8000 meters in elevation: Mt. Everest (8849m), Mt. Cho Oyu (8201m), Mt. Makalu (8481m) and Mt. Lhotse (8516m). In addition to these colossal giants, there are also smaller peaks that surround charming Sherpa villages.

One such peak is Mera Peak, standing at an impressive 6476 meters in the vicinity of Everest. Climbing Mera Peak has become a highly sought-after adventure in Nepal. It is classified as the one highest trekking peak amongst 27 trekking peaks by the Nepal Mountaineering Association, making it accessible to beginner climbers. This peak has been beloved by mountaineers for many decades, with the first successful ascent achieved by a French expedition led by Jean Franco on May 20, 1953. Since then, it has remained a renowned destination for climbers.

Mera Peak Climbing in Nepal is considered a moderately challenging climb. Its slopes feature manageable trails, and the overall route is mostly non-technical, with a few sections requiring fixed ropes. The final stretch just before the summit involves a steep ascent across a snow dome, where you’ll need an ascender or jumar on a fixed rope. However, the majority of the climbing sections are of moderate difficulty. Like other peak climbs in the Everest region, ascending Mera Peak rewards you with breathtaking panoramic views of the Everest landscape. The view from the summit is truly awe-inspiring.

Climbing Route of Mera Peak

Mera Peak Climbing Route begins with a classic flight from Kathmandu to Lukla and involves several days of trekking through high mountain passes before reaching the high camp. The actual climb to Mera Peak starts from the High Camp and culminates at the summit. Unlike the Everest Base Camp Trek, the journey to the Mera Peak base camp involves a relatively rapid ascent. Along the way, you’ll pass through small hamlets scattered along the trail.

The Mera Peak Trekking starts southeast from Lukla, gradually ascending to Chutang, situated at an elevation of 3020 meters. From Chutang, you’ll continue through dense alpine forests and take a sharp turn southward. After this, the trail leads to Zartwa La Pass at 4610 meters, marking the border of Makalu Barun National Park. Descending steeply from the pass for about two hours, you’ll reach Thuli Kharka, a small shepherd’s settlement with only a few houses.

The stretch from Thuli Kharka follows rocky terrain as you ascend toward Tashing Dingma at 4010 meters, which is enclosed by rocks. The trail then meets the Inkhu River at Tashing Ognma, with the Inkhu River originating from Mera Peak and later merging with the Dudh Koshi River. Continuing on, you’ll make your way to Mosom Kharka, Gondhishung, and eventually reach Kothe at an elevation of 4182 meters. Along this traverse, you’ll occasionally catch glimpses of Mera Peak. The journey to Mera Peak continues along this river, passing through villages such as Tagna, Dig Kharka, Khare Camp, and Mera La before commencing the actual climb to the summit.

Mera Peak Climbing Duration

The roundtrip distance of Mera Peak Climbing is about 75 kilometers which starts and ends at Lukla. Aside from this, the aerial distance from Kathmandu to Lukla is about 135 kilometers. You will take a flight to get to Lukla and back to Kathmandu. The flight duration is 35 minutes one way. The standard Mera Peak Climbing itinerary is 15 days.

Within this timeframe, you will walk for an average distance of about 7-8 kilometers each day. Also, you will climb for 2 days from Khare to High Camp and High Camp to Mera Summit.  The duration of trekking each day will differ based on prior experience, elevation gain and the terrain of the area. Below provided table provides deep insight into time and distance of Mera Peak Climb.

Day Source/ Destination Distance Duration
3 Lukla to Chutanga 4.3 kilometers 4 Hrs.
4 Chutanga to Chhutrabu 4.5 kilometers 7 Hrs
5 Chhetrabu to Kothe 6.5 kilometers 5-6 Hrs
6 Kothe to Tagna 9 kilometers 4-5 Hrs
7 Tagna to Khare 5 kilometers 4-5 Hrs
8 Khare rest Day
9 Khare to High Camp 4.5 kilometers 6-7 Hrs
10 High Camp to Summit to Khare 9 kilometers 10-12 Hrs
11 Khare to Kothe 14 kilometers 5-6 Hrs
12 Kothe to Chhutrabu 6.5 kilometers 5-6 Hrs
13 Chhutrabu to Lukla 8.8 kilometers 7-8 Hrs
14 Fly back to Kathmandu 135 kilometers 30 min

Important Note: The altitude level of Zartwa La Pass makes it prone to heavy snowfall in the winter (Nov-March). If the trek is inaccessible via this route, we shall take another route to Mera Peak base camp from Paiya and Pangom village. Taking the route via these villages will lengthen the trekking duration by a few more days.

Good morning!
Yesterday we arrived from our 11-day trekking in Gokyo.
There were 3 people from Spain, and I don’t know how to express how happy I felt.
From the beginning, Himalaya Trip has been attentive to us, with a welcome at the hotel and explanation of the route, rental of necessary equipment, etc.
The most important thing for us has been the ease and comfort with which Ramesh (our precious guide) has taken care of us at all time.
Attentive to the food, to make sure we didn’t get cold, adapting the route day by day according to the needs of the team.

I only have words of gratitude for Ramesh, who I would recommend for any trekking in the world.
In addition to being a great guide and knowing all the mountains of Nepal perfectly, he is a great person, with a big heart.

We hope to repeat in the not too distant future and hopefully it can be with him, since he is already part of our family.
Thank you for everything, from the bottom of my heart.

Thanks!!!!

Couldn’t recommend enough

Had an incredible experience doing the Mardi Himal trek with Himalaya Trip. Our guide Jay and our two porters Umesh and Masak were all simply incredible people.

I’m a photographer so always have odd requests for weird areas to access for better angles or even simply just extending time in certain areas and all requests were met with so much help from the team. Highly recommend

Mardi Himal: fantastic trek & wonderful guide

I had an amazing time trekking with Surpa, particularly as this was my first solo trek. Beautiful views doing the Mardi Himal trek over 4 days, Surpa was a great guide who organised everything so well for me, kept me well fed, supported a good pace the whole way and always cheerful. Would recommend, and I would happily have him as my guide again in the future. The organisation and booking with Himalaya Trip was great, really responsive on emails and Harka was so helpful in organising everything and meeting me in Kathmandu for a briefing before the trip. Thanks so much!

Once in a lifetime experience in the Himalayas

Our 4 day Mardi Himal Trek with guide Milan and porter Plekta was a wonderful experience. The manager Harka Gurung met with us over coffee in Kathmandu and briefed us about expectations as this was our first trek. After that our guide met us at our hotel in Pokhara, helped us rent equipment, and handled all logistics in between. Our first time in the Himalayas was unforgettable between all the unbelievable landscapes and scenery, and we were lucky to have MIlan and Plekta with us to experience it all. I can’t begin to describe how ethereal sunrise is over the base camp, but hopefully you’ll be able to experience it soon!
