To begin Mea Peak climbing and expedition, we'll take a Kathmandu Lukla flight for 40 minutes. Our guides will provide you with constant care and guidance from the first day. From Lukla, we'll hike to Chhuthang overnight.
From Chhuthang, along Zatrawala Pass, we'll hike to Thuki Kharka at 4,300 metres. The following day's hike ascends to Kothe, Tangnak at 4,360 metres. Waking up the next day at Khare at 5,100 metres would be a joy to watch the glittering sun over the mountains. Also, the first glances of Mera Peak appear from Khare. Before setting out for Mera Peak base camp, we'll stay another day at Khare for acclimatisation.
After proper preparations and rest, we'll ascend to Mera High at 5,700 metres and then push for Mera Peak summit at 6,476 metres.
The summit day would be tiring for you. We'll make a gradual descent to Khare overnight. Then we'll head back to Lukla along the trail to Lukla from Mera Peak the next day. You'll have the best night at Lukla before flying to Kathmandu. The scenic flight back to Kathmandu from Lukla would be the final to catch glimpses of the Khumbu mountains.
The Mera Peak expedition route is almost 125 km in length. Above 4,000 metres of this trail, it becomes more rugged, snowy, and steep. On top, you'll be climbing the peak. Thus, it won't be comfortable for you to hike, climb, summit, and complete this expedition.
You may find two different Mera Peak Climbing routes if you google the itinerary. The itinerary we give you is on the latest route. Compared to the old trail, the new Mera Peak trail is somewhat less strenuous than the previous one.
There's a possibility that you'll develop the symptoms of altitude sickness in the Mera Peak expedition. Altitude sickness is due to a lack of oxygen above 3,500 metres. The symptoms include headaches, shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, etc.
Mera Peak above 6,400 metres is a likely place for developing altitude sickness. But the gradual hike and acclimatisation prepare you to adapt to the high altitude environment.
Our Sherpa guides and Climbing guides do have medical knowledge. They will provide you with medicines to prevent the AMS. If the situation worsens, you'll get helicopter evacuation also.
Mera Peak climbing and expedition occurs during Spring and Autumn. The crystal clear sky, snow-filled landscape, and rain-free days make these two seasons the best time for this expedition. While climbing the peak, there has to be no snowfall, and the temperature has to be stable. Thus, all these conditions are best in March-May and September-November.
Summer and winter are harsh due to frequent rainfall and snowfall. Thus, these two seasons are not suitable for the Mera Peak climb.
Even if you don't need technical knowledge for Mera Peak climbing, you must have some physical fitness. It is the minimum need for you to complete this expedition without any issues.
Prepare yourself with fitness and hiking training if you don't have any. Gym, hiking, and mini-marathons are the best exercises to prepare yourself for this expedition. If you have any high-altitude trekking experience, it would be great.
For better preparations, follow these exercise routines for two to three months before heading to Nepal for climbing.
