Best season: March- May, September - November
Mera Peak, a 6476-meter snow-capped mountain in Sagarmatha National Park, Nepal, is an ideal destination for adventurous climbers. It requires a 14-day trip from Kathmandu, an experienced mountain guide, and appropriate climbing gear. Climbing Himalayas offers a package for climbing Tengkoma Peak, including logistics, transportation, accommodation, and a professional mountain guide, at a reasonable price. The climb offers a chance to explore local ethnic villages, terraced fields, and flowing mountain rivers before reaching Khare, the last settlement in the region. Mera Peak, located in Nepal, is a popular trekking peak offering stunning views of the world's highest mountains, including Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, and Cho Oyu. The climb typically begins with a scenic flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, followed by the classic Everest Base Camp Trek trail. The standard route involves a gradual ascent with steeper sections, using basic mountaineering equipment. The summit day is an early start, offering panoramic views of several Himalayan peaks, including five of the world's six tallest mountains. The entire Mera Peak climbing expedition takes 14 to 20 days, depending on the itinerary and weather conditions.
The best seasons for climbing Mera Peak are pre-monsoon (spring) from March to May and post-monsoon (autumn) from September to November. Climbers must be physically fit and prepared for high-altitude mountaineering challenges, including acclimatization, cold temperatures, and potential altitude-related risks. It is essential to undertake Mera Peak climbing with a licensed agency and experienced guides for safety, support, and an enjoyable ascent. These agencies and guides will provide climbers with the necessary equipment, such as crampons and ice axes, as well as expert knowledge on navigating the terrain. Additionally, climbers should be aware that Mera Peak is a popular destination, so it is important to book accommodations and permits in advance to ensure availability during peak climbing seasons.

We then make our way slowly up to High camp. Remember to look behind you where you will see views of Everest, Makalu, Nuptse, and Lhotse and this trek up to high camp holds some Himalayan treasures. This camp is hidden behind a rocky section. The campsite is small and has some drop-offs on the right as you enter the camp. It is time to rehydrate and recover for the summit push.
The climb to the summit of Mera Peak starts gradually, and much depends on weather conditions. Once we leave high camp usually at 2 am it should take 5/6 hours to reach the summit. Getting into a rest stop and taking our time will be critical to conserving energy for the descent. The central summit appears above the wide glacier, flanked by 2 ridges. We climb the snowfields avoiding the crevasses. This steep section can take 2 hours and is slow going. The route swings to the east of the left-hand ridge before turning back towards the main summit ridge of Mera. Mera peak has 3 summits, our objective is the highest. This short steep snow slope is easily climbed, but the last 30m/ 98 feet requires a lot of effort, some times Jumaring on a short steep ice section and you arrive on the summit.
