Mera Peak at 6476m is the highest trekking peak in Nepal. At this altitude the oxygen content of air is less than half of what it is at sea level. It is located in the Himalayan mountain range in Nepal, a little east of the main Khumbu valley on a much quieter trail.
At 6476m Mera Peak is for those looking for a tough challenge, who have a good base level of fitness and strong will power. With a 19 day itinerary, not only will you experience physical fatigue you will also be moving at altitude which has it's side affects. Don't worry... it's more than worth the effort.
We travel as a group with a team of porters who meet us at each stop. The group is led by an experienced team of local guides who lead you every step up of the way.
The route to Mera Peak is much quieter than the busier Everest Base Camp trek which makes for a more peaceful experience. On the route we traverse through many different types of terrain from dusty paths, to lush forests, through remote picturesque villages and finally to snowy mountain tops. Best of all, the highlight of the route are the views from high camp, and from the summit itself, which are breath-taking - Everest, Lhotse, Makalu and Baruntse can all be seen clearly.
