Mera peak climbing is popular, easy, and the highest trekking peak in the impressive Khumbu region eastern part of Nepal. It raises to the south of Everest and to the northeast of Lukla. Technically, The Mera is not a difficult peak in comparison with other peaks in Nepal. It is ascending snow slopes that rarely exceed 30 degrees to the top. It is the perfect choice for physically fit and basic climbing knowledge. Tenzing and Jimmy Roberts first time successful ascent of Mera on 20 May 1953. The trails they used still the standard route.

Climbers can enjoy snow-capped the world’s highest mountains above 8,000 meters Everest, Lhotse, Cho Oyu, Makalu, Kanchenjunga, and Neighbor Mountains. Summit of Mera base camp is hardly more than a mountain walk across crevasse glacier. High altitude respect and acclimatization must be complete at the recommended time. This usually means reaching the summit a short time after arriving at Lukla. Many people fail to reach the summit because they didn’t follow the acclimatization rule. The Glacier Adventure Company has a decade of experience team and a careful design Itinerary.  Many times we have successful records of Mera peak climbing.

Review

Daniel Harwad
Mera Peak Climbing

This was my second trip to Nepal to trek and climb. Both times I had the trip organized and guided by the Glacier Adventure Company (expeditiontrekkinginnepal.com) with Tilak Shestra. Both times the trip was most excellent because of him. In October 2012 my daughter and I climbed Mera Peak and made the south summit. Tilak was there by our side most of the time and made sure all of our needs were met. I may come back one more time to do Island Peak and if I do I will again use Tilak and the Glacier Adventure Company.
