Essential Information - Mera Peak Climbing
Why Mera Peak Climbing?
Nepal falls on the top destination of Mera peak climbing and mountain exploring. Among many high mountain peaks in Nepal, Mera Peak climbing is also one of the high peaks in the Everest region. Experts have divided Mera Peak climbing into three primary summits. They are Mera North, Mera Central, and Mera South.
The elevation of Mera Peak falls under 7000 meters from sea level. The height of Mera North is 6,476 meters, Mera Central is 6,461 meters, and Mera South is 6,065 meters. The first person to discover and climb Mera Peak climbing was Jimmy Roberts in the fall of 20 May 1953. People found the route to Mera Peak when Jimmy Roberts took this way after the ascent of Mount Everest.
The government of Nepal honored him with Everest’s national award in 2005. Mera Peak is one of the most climbed peaks in Nepal. As this peak falls on the Mount Everest region from the top of Mera, you will get the best view of the Himalayas. You can closely witness five mountains worldwide from the top of Mera Peak climbing.
You can see Mount Everest, Lhotse, Cho Oyu, Makalu, and Kangchenjunga. You can also view several mountain peaks connected below. You can take any route from all directions to the summit. However, the path from the south and western face of Mera Peak is complex and challenging for climbers. So, people usually trek from the peak’s northern front.
Mera peak climbing is very popular among people. One of the main reasons for its fame is that this trek provides the best view of the high mountains together. Nepal’s height of the Mera Peak trek will challenge you with the high altitude. To climb Mera Peak with ease, you will have to learn all the techniques and have some experience.
Accommodation and food during our Mera Peak Climbing
Food and lodging are vital things one needs to consider before trekking any place. There are different teahouses and hotels on the way to Mera Peak Climbing. As you gain altitude, the facilities and the varieties of food and housing start to decrease. You might not get a room in a hotel for accommodation. So you will always carry a tent, foam mattress, and toiletries.
For food, you will get typical Nepali food and drink. And also, the price of food and accommodation is very high because of less variety. And if you trek during peak seasons like spring and autumn, you might need help finding hotel rooms. But suppose you hike during a non-peak season like monsoon and winter. You will quickly get rooms and discounts sometimes.
During this trek, you will sleep in everything from forests to meadows to high snowy camps. You need to accede to the situation. You can choose the season to trek to Mera Peak according to your choice. Yet, April and May are the best times to walk to Mera Peak climbing. If you like winter, you can trek during the winter season.
If you love any other season, you can hike according to that. But for touring to Mera, we prefer peak climbing in dry seasons. There is a different problem that you might face during the trek. One of the common problems you might face during the Mera peak climbing is the duration of your trip. It depends on the route you choose for the climb.

The Mera Peak climb between October and November or March and May is perfect. The weather is clear during this time, and the day is long in spring. But you must always wear suitable climbing clothing.
The temperature is low and freezing after the Mera Peak base camp. The weather after base camp is unstable. The bad weather and the cool temperature add thrill and adventure to the Mera Peak climb. Furthermore, we need dry and stable weather to climb to Mera Peak safely. Strong winds and snowfalls might double the difficulty of the climb. So, to avoid these problems, we must choose the right time for the rise.

Weather and temperature conditions of Mera Peak climbing
Before trekking any place, you must know all the required information about the trek. The weather and temperature of the place depend upon the time of trekking. If you Mera peak during winter, the weather might be frigid. You might even suffer from frostbite during the winter season. If you trek during monsoon season, you might need clear views of the mountains.
The trail will be slippery. There may be a delay in trekking time due to monsoon rain. But if you do Mera peak climbing in spring and autumn, you will have a clear view of the mountains. It will be much easier to trek during this season. The trail will also be fresh and full of flowers during this season. The average temperature of Mera peaks during the spring and autumn season is 5 – 10 degrees Celsius.
There are crowds on the trail to Mera Peak during this season. You might not get rooms in the hotel, so you must book your trek early. The following is some advice for the Mera Peak Climbing Equipment list. You can choose the packing list per your interest, elevation, season, and requirements. You can hire most of the equipment in Kathmandu. Remember to pack light.
The difficulty of Mera peak Climbing
When doing Mera Peak climbing, the higher altitude you gain, the more difficulty you may suffer. Earlier, experts graded Mera Peak as alpine grade F, which is easy and straight for trekking. But now, due to various changes in the glacier, Mera peak climbing has alpine grade DP. It means it is challenging to trek.
As Mera Peak is the highest peak in Nepal, there is a high chance of suffering from high-altitude sickness. Many people traveling to Mera Peak turn back because of altitude sickness. The oxygen level at the top of Mera Central (6461 meters) is 47 percent. Almost all the trekkers use supplemental oxygen because breathing at such a low oxygen level is tricky.
Because of altitude sickness, trekkers might feel nausea, headache, and fever. If you feel like altitude sickness, you should slow your trek. It would help if you had a well-devised itinerary to avoid the risk of altitude sickness. It would be best to have proper acclimatization, contingency day, and training. Altitude sickness is widespread for the people trekking to Mera Peak.
If you take the appropriate care and precautions, you can overcome this problem. The weather conditions of a place, especially at a higher altitude, are unpredictable. A perfect day for trekking can turn into the worst day. And the change in weather conditions can also directly affect treks and trekkers. So, while trekking to Mera peak climbing, you must note the weather conditions. You must also pack your gear and equipment according to that.

Safety comes first before anything. While trekking Mera Peak, you will need to take safety measures. If you feel like having any health issues, immediately stop the trek. The total trekking distance for the Mera Peak is 78 miles and 125 kilometers.

Best Climbing Peak





Thank you, Puru, for an Excellent Mera peak climb trip. You were very helpful to me during the planning of my journey. You always answered e-mails promptly. You managed the equipment as you promised. It was very nice to be so warmly welcomed at the airport. When I arrived, the trekking guide was good. He ensured I reached the summit. It was a very successful trek!
Thank you, once again, Above the Himalaya trekking company.

Secod time on Mera peak climbing wiht AHT





I trekked with Puru to Tengboche and Pochara the first time and rated ATH excellent then. Puru and the team cared for me so well that I returned to climb Mera Peak with the same excellent service (trekking guide, porter, and this time climbing guide). Puru continuously checks in to see how things are going, and I could always count on his people for help along the trek (14 days). Thanks again, Puru, you are the best!!

Mera Peak Climbing 6476m





“This was my second time heading to the Himalayas and the second time to use Above The Himalaya. As my first experience was fabulous, and I thought it couldn’t improve, I was proven wrong.
Yet again, Puru and his team pulled out all the stops to make this climb of Mera Peak something I will never forget! From the first email I sent to Puru about organizing the climb to the last, the communication was perfect just before I jumped on the plane to fly to Kathmandu. Then, from the second I landed in Kathmandu to the second I left Kathmandu with Puru.
The climb of Mera Peak was challenging due to the high altitude and coldness you get from going up high. But all was made that much easier by the hospitality of my Guide. His superb knowledge of the route we were taking, knowing every mountain peak to make sure I was put up in a comfy bed in the night with the best food.
There is no other trekking/climbing company I would use other than Above The Himalaya.
Also, I am already planning on climbing 7100m this year. And yes, you guessed it, I will be using Puru and his company Above The Himalayas!”
