About this trip

 

Mera Peak Climbing has three summits, with the central summit usually climbing.  From the top of this tallest trekking peak of Nepal, we can see an amazing view of Everest, Cho Yu, Makalu, Lhotse, and Kanchenjunga, five of which are worlds over 8000-meter tall peaks.  Physical fitness and an enthusiasm for adventure are essentials for Mera Peak climbing. It means that you need not necessarily have prior experience and skills in mountaineering. Whatever skills you need are taught by our guides at the base camp.  Comparatively, it is an easy peak to conquer, as its categorization as one of the “trekking peaks of Nepal” indicates. With our years-long experience in peak climbing and trekking in Nepal; you can also put aside your worries and prepare yourself for a rare taste of the Himalayas.

Mera Peak Climbing (6,470 m) for experienced mountaineers is the task of a single day. But a high camp above 5700 meters was established to ease the strain.  As exciting as the experience of summitry is the trek leading to the base camp and backing up in the world-famous Everest region. Mountaineers can choose from two to three ways of reaching the base camp; choose to head back using a different route. If you do not want to climb, only the trek to its base camp also fills you with unforgettable memories and lasting experiences with the scenes and lifestyle of the Himalayas of Nepal. We begin trekking from Lukla, but first, take a domestic flight to Lukla from Kathmandu. Our trail continues via Chuthanga, Chetarbu Kharka, Kothe, Thaknak (where we will spend a whole day for acclimatization), and Khahare to Mera La High Camp.

All those guys were really fantastic. Both the agency (Badri + others) itself and the guide Rupak who was able to create amazing atmosphere and was so helpful with all the necessary details during the whole trek. I'd like to recomend all if the to whom, who are planning such trips in the future. Safe, fast and good planned, even for a man who is not so convinced about his/her own abilities.

I had an unbelievable experience, which is consistent with every trip (5-6 others) I have taken with Outdoor Himalayan Treks! Their staff is professional, knowledgeable, and highly experienced. Badri was wonderful to work with through the planning process. As usual, he developed an itinerary that was customized for my interests and ability level. My trekking guide, Dilli, was truly amazing, as well! He really understands why I come to Nepal so often--I love the people, the culture, the mountains, everything. As a solo female trekker, I always felt safe. As a bonus, the views were incredible, even though it was the height of the Monsoon season. I highly recommend Outdoor Himalayan Treks for your trekking experience!

My wife and I have recently completed our Langtang Valley Trekking from late May to early June 2023, arranged by Outdoor Himalayan Treks. This is our second time trekking in Nepal and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. This time, it was an entirely different experience - for us, Langtang Valley trekking was indeed " Nature at its very Best " The panoramic views of the Himalayan ranges, clean crisp mountain air against a background of the call of nature (chirping of birds, continuous gush of the river/streams, cries of the deer in the night). Walking along lush bamboo forests dotted with pretty flowers, encounters with families of yak, monkeys, mules ..an amazing sight. The sheer absence of technology / internet up in the mountains was quite a different feeling! The trekking in Langtang was raw, rugged...oneness with nature. For the first two days we were going uphill with average vertical gains of 1000m each day and hitting 3300m on day 3. Steep ascents very often on narrow paths, laden with rocks, stones, and crossing streams required deft and steady footwork. What goes up must come down..steep descents were a toll on our knees. The air gets thinner as we climb higher, thank goodness we had paced ourselves throughout the trek and we were blessed with excellent weather. My wife continued and reached the peak of Kyanjin 1 at 4400m, where she enjoyed the great sense of accomplishment and the glorious breathtaking views! The funny thing was, sharing with her moment of joy at the peak appeared angels ...two friendly dogs ! The beauty of nature is also present in the professional and experienced handling of both our guide and porter. Our guide, Subba is very experienced and was most attentive to our needs. Together with our young and strong porter, Madhov, they were a wonderful pair. In moments, when I thought I was going to slip down the terrain, a quick hand would be there to support me. Will always remember the wise words of our guide.."Take baby steps and follow the mule". The warm hospitality of our hosts at the guesthouses provided us with a glimpse of the local Tibetan culture. The simplicity and beauty of nature !
