Upon your arrival in Kathmandu, you will be greeted by our team and transferred to your hotel. You can relax, refresh, and take in the vibrant atmosphere of Nepal’s capital city. This is a good opportunity to get acquainted with the local culture, prepare for your adventure, and adjust to the time zone before starting your trek.

Today is reserved for final preparations for your Mera Peak climb. You’ll meet your experienced climbing guides, receive a detailed briefing on the climb and safety protocols, and check your climbing gear. This is also a great opportunity to ask any last-minute questions and ensure you’re fully ready for the upcoming journey.

After an early flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, where you’ll catch your first glimpse of the Himalayan mountains, the real adventure begins. Your trek to Chutanga (3000m) will take about 5 hours, allowing you to gradually adjust to the altitude while walking through scenic Sherpa villages and lush forests.

Today, you’ll embark on a 6-hour trek that takes you to Thulikharka (4300m) via the Zatrwa La Pass (4610m). The high-altitude pass offers stunning views of the surrounding peaks, including Mount Numbur and the valleys below. This challenging day helps with acclimatization to the higher altitudes.

The trek to Kothe (3691m) will take approximately 6 hours, taking you through alpine forests and scenic landscapes. As you descend into the valley, you’ll pass several remote villages, offering glimpses of the local Sherpa way of life.

Continuing your journey, today’s trek to Thangnak (4350m) will take around 6 hours. The trail weaves through alpine meadows, and as you ascend, the views become more spectacular with each step. The landscape becomes more barren as you near the high-altitude zone.

On this 6-hour trek, you will reach Khare at 5000m, a small village that serves as a base for climbers attempting Mera Peak. The challenging terrain and high altitude make this day important for acclimatization. The view of the surrounding snow-capped peaks is breathtaking, making this a memorable trek.

This day is set aside for acclimatization and training for the Mera Peak climb. You’ll rest and take part in climbing drills, learning how to use the equipment and preparing mentally for the summit push. Rest is crucial at this altitude to allow your body to adjust properly.

A demanding 7-hour trek brings you to the Mera Peak High Camp at 5800m. The trek today is a steep climb, and you’ll spend the night in tents, with spectacular views of the surrounding peaks. The environment at High Camp is rugged and surreal, making it the perfect staging point for the summit push.

The day of the summit! You will leave the High Camp early in the morning and aim for the top of Mera Peak (6470m). After a challenging 10-hour round trip, you’ll descend back to Khare, where the sense of accomplishment will be overwhelming. The panoramic views of Everest, Makalu, and Cho Oyu make the effort worthwhile.

After summiting, it’s time to descend. The 6-hour trek back to Kothe provides a welcome change of pace and gives your body a chance to adjust after the high-altitude effort. The walk is easier but still offers incredible views of the Himalayas.

You will trek for 6 hours to reach Chetra Khola, passing through dense forests and remote villages. The changing landscape from high alpine terrain to subtropical valleys makes this part of the trek particularly scenic.

The 7-hour trek to Ramilo Danda takes you through quiet villages and picturesque valleys, providing you with a glimpse into the rural life of Nepal. The trails are less traveled, offering a peaceful retreat after the intensity of the climb.

A long 8-hour trek today leads you to Pangom (2850m), a charming village with views of the mountains. The trek takes you through thick forests, and the stunning landscapes make the effort well worth it.

You’ll trek for 5 hours through serene forested paths to reach Kharikhola (2300m). The gradual descent gives you a chance to relax and take in the peaceful atmosphere of the valley, while immersing in the nature around you.

A 6-hour trek will bring you to Phaplu, a small settlement nestled in the mountains. This village offers an excellent place to reflect on your trek and connect with locals who are eager to share their stories and culture.
