During the trekking route, we break off the main trail along the Hinku Honku valley. We trek to the foot of Mera Peak, ascend the summit and return with memories for a lifetime!
Mt. Mera Peak does not require technical peak climbing experience since the snow slopes never exceed more than 30 degrees. There are fixed ropes and you are covered by fixed lines. You will be in the footsteps and at the direction of the climbing Sherpa on the way to the summit.
Guest house accommodation on the trek, until Khare where we rest for two nights in tented camps with the climbing sherpa team (porters, cook, guide, and leader).
We return to Lukla and fly to Kathmandu in a scenic flight, which completes our Memorable Mera Peak climb experience.

Mera Peak located at an altitude of 6654m, one among the tallest peaks in Nepal. Mera Peak flanked by the mighty mountain – Mount Everest as well as Mont Blanc. The trek is technically trouble-free that involves use of crampons, ice axe etc.  You will get to see stunning panorama of Mt. Everest (8848m), Lhotse (8516m), Makalu (8463m), Cho-Oyu (8201m), Nuptse (7855m), Chamlang (7319m), Kanchenjunga (8586m) along with several others; diverse communities of Sherpa, Chhetri, Tamang, Brahman, Newar etc. during the Mera Peak climb.

The path to reach Mera Peak actually moves side by side along with untouched silver fir, oak forest, rhododendron, etc. Likewise, while ascending the Mera Peak you can notice Mera Glacier and striking alpine lake. Also, Mera Peak trek will allow you to visit the typical Sherpa area of the Solukhumbu. The trail also has several crevasses in the region and the path can be tricky. Our trek actually starts by walking south-east from Lukla all along a lofty, rocky circumference via wide forests and walks transversely through several rivers then takes us to the rustic Honku Valley.

Reaching in the feral land of Himalayas is undeniably an extraordinary experience. We will move ahead to Khare located at 5,099m and fix our camp.
