Mera Peak is the highest of the peaks in Nepal that are defined as 'trekking peaks'. At 6476m it is a very high mountain although it requires little or no technical climbing on its normal route. It is found a little to the East of the main Adventure Alternative Nepal, Everest Base camp area and is a far less frequented trail. It is an achievable objective to the well prepared and fit individual as long as they bring reserves of determination and a passion for adventure.
Climbing History
The trek in to the peak provides a fantastic chance to enjoy all aspects of the Himalayan experience, dropping below Lukla into lush green forests before crossing Zetra La and high passes into sparse glacial moraines.
