Overview
Mera Peak (6,461 m) is the highest trekking peak in Nepal. The ascent is not difficult. This is a snow race with moderate slopes. After joining Lukla, the starting point of our trek, we reach a valley located east of the Dudh Kosi, which meanders at the foot of some of the most beautiful mountains of Khumbu such as Kusum Kanguru or the Kangtega.

Then we arrive at the Mera Pass (5,415 m) with, in the background, our goals : the central summit of Mera Peak. For this ascent, we have chosen a "high" acclimatization to arrive relatively quickly at altitude and a safe day to have a better chance of reaching the summit.

The Mera peak climbing offers breathtaking views of the valleys and glaciers with the diverse landscapes. At the summit, you will witness various magnificent peaks such as Everest (8,849 m/29,032), Lhotse (8,516 m/27,940 ft), Kanchenjunga (8,586 m/28,169 ft), Makalu (8,463 m/27,766 ft), and Cho Oyu (8,188 m/26,864 ft. You will also be rewarded with a stunning view of snow-capped mountains like  Ama Dablam, Baurntse, Thamserku, Island Peak, etc

Additionally,  the route is longer so better acclimatization is needed. the trail follows wilderness, sweet villages, and Pine, and rhododendron forests. that will take us to the wild Hinku Valley to reach Mera Peak. which will give you a glimpse into the rich culture of the locals.

Mera peak Difficulty Leve
This program requires mountaineering equipment like crampons, harnesses, ice axes, and ropes. The route may include small challenges, such as steeper glacier sections or continuous effort. It is designed for beginners with some mountaineering experience who have completed similar or slightly easier routes.

Preparation for the Mera Peak climbing
Preparing for the trek requires several months of preparation with 4 to 6-hour walks every weekend for stamina and participating in a sport that requires short periods of high exertion.

Medical check-up Before going Peak climbing
Being in good health is essential to enjoy your Alpinist Club trip fully. If your last medical visit was more than four years ago, please get another general physical exam and tell your doctor the nature of your trip (climate, altitude, difficulty, etc.). The altitude also has the effect of reviving dental problems or other chronic pain, so getting a dental checkup is also prudent. If you are undertaking a high-altitude expedition, we advise you to consult a mountain medicine specialist.

Acute Mountain Sickness
This trip takes place at high altitudes so that some people may experience altitude-related discomforts like headaches, loss of appetite, and swelling of limbs. Most of these symptoms usually go away within a few days, but sometimes they can develop into a serious illness: pulmonary or cerebral edema. There are no preventive drugs for AMS. Diamox diuretic is often effective for symptomatic relief, but you should first check with your doctor to verify that it is not contraindicated for you. Think about it before you go.

Transfers/ Transport During Trip
All transfers are provided in private vehicles. 

Group size for the Mera  Peak climbing 
The group is composed of 1 to 10 participants maximum. The number of participants is voluntarily limited to allow a better immersion, to not embarrass our hosts, to develop spaces of freedom and to allow a great flexibility of operation. However, the maximum number can be exceeded in the case where the last person who registers wishes to travel with another or several other people. The services will not be modified and the conditions of the trip will be identical as a result.
