The crossing of the Mera Peak , on foot – which used to seem possible only under extreme hardship, can be experienced by means of well-organised hiking tours by Nepal Trekking Routes (NTR), https://nepaltrekkingroutes.com.  This trip was an awesome experience.  I really enjoyed my experience with NTR and this is my second trip with the company. Shailesh was great at communication before the tour and being flexible to fit us into a tour that would match our availability.

It's a hidden gem, this creates the opportunity to hike through this incredible journey and a life time experience with breath taking views in snow dessert. On our hike we went to the peak of the mountain and we're surrounded by stunning views.  I was there in March 2022, new season just started, so the snow was still deep, fresh snow on daily bases and occurrence of avalanches. With forests in the lower regions, the path along a stream from flows and snow desert on the way to the top make it the best experience with nature one could ask for. The view from the peak is simply breath-taking.

The trek scheduled for 18 days was well-organised in the usual professional manner. With daily walking time a maximum of six to eight hours, depending on fitness, weather conditions and gradient. My advice to you is work out all your muscles and make sure you are in a good shape. Answered questions and sharing joke or a story. The guide, Tanji Sherpa is a very experienced and well equipped and has Indepth knowledge of the routes, if a route is block due to avalanche, he knows the alternative. As we were going up, it was very foggy and misty and it was hard to tell what was surrounding us. As we reached our cabin it was still foggy. He was very patient with us and helped go through the hard moments of the trek. Tanji supplied all of the necessary materials for the climb so this made preparation easy and effortless. Couple of times the tea houses were closed during ascend and Tanji contacts opened this for us specially for the night to stay even having to travel themselves to accommodate us. 

All around, an imposing mountain backdrop shows off the impressive peaks towering over peaks and everything, and once you arrive at you destination you will be met by wonderful smiling people who offer a great hospitability. When I awoke and looked out the cabin window, I couldn't believe my eyes. We were above the cloud line and could only see the peaks of the surrounding mountains. You can hear the sound of waterfall during the trek and at night the sound of nature and waterfall are very relaxing. You meet some wonderful people whom have a great depth of experience. People who have climb Mount Everest and reaching its summit as solo and sherpa who has reached the peak 32 times.

Be prepare for an extremely challenging trek in snow as the track are not visible but guided by very experience guide who Live's around the region and knows the routes well. On several occasions the route was changed due to avalanche. Enjoyed the scenery and had a great trip. Already planning for the third trip.
