An early morning start takes us to Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu for the 35-minute scenic flight to Lukla Tenzing and Hillary Airport at 9,318 feet. However because of significant air traffic congestion at Kathmandu airport, TIA has redirected all flights to Lukla through Manthali airport during peak trekking seasons (March, April, October, and November).
Manthali airport of Ramechap is approximately a 5-hour drive from Kathmandu. Please take a moment to review Ramechap Airport. On arrival at the airport, our guide will introduce the entire porters before beginning the trek towards the Paiya.
After packing up all gears, we knock the trail south. We descend first to Surke to cross the river, then a steep rise to Chutok La. Rest of the way to Paiya is flat but undulating terrain and a good end to our first day of trekking. despite that, the distance is roughly 11 kilometers and takes 7 hours of hiking from Lukla in front.
Our journey on the Mera Peak hike persists as we traverse the Piya Khola river, descending gently towards a robust wooden bridge.

Yet another splendid day stretch out as we traverse mountain crests, navigating through rugged landscapes adorned with rocky formations. Our path offers breathtaking vistas of wooded regions beneath us. Nevertheless, today’s hike encompasses a distance of approximately 14 kilometers, promising an adventure through this captivating terrain.
Today’s trek brought joy to numerous tourists who gathered to witness the enchanting yak caravan habitation amidst the forest. And it takes us truly off the beaten path, requiring us to carry a packed lunch for the adventure ahead.
Our expedition commences with a zig-zag trail leading us to the Tama Khola River. Progressing through a diverse landscape of bamboo and rhododendron mixed forest, the hike covers a distance of approximately 11 kilometers.
Our descent takes us along the hillsides, through delightful meadows, and further down through enchanting forests adorned with blue Himalayan pines and rhododendrons. Along the way, the mesmerizing sights of Mosom Kharka and the Inkhu Khola river unfold, providing a captivating view of Mera Peak’s south side. Covering a distance of approximately 11 kilometers today, we follow the river’s course to reach the Khote village Lodge, where we will spend the night.
Our journey takes us to the western bank of the Hinku Khola, heading northward. Forest gradually fades into a blur, and the valley expands before us. Along the way, we notice meadows serving as grazing grounds for goats, sheep, and yaks in the Upper Hinku region. Our path leads us to the summer settlement of Tangnag, and we traverse a single-plank bridge at Gondishung.
Adjacent to Tangnag lies a 200-year-old gompa nestled beneath a massive boulder, accompanied by several primitive mani walls. Despite that this entire trail today treats us to an exceptional view of Peak 43 and other majestic peaks in the surroundings.
Spending almost a half-day here in order to acclimatize and adjust to the thinning of the air. Be that as it may interested, visitors can hike to Charpate Himal Glacier if the weather permits offers unbelievable Mountain views, rivers, and the valley.
After proper rest and short hikes, we can explore other adventure possibilities like hiking at Sabal Tsho. It’s a beautiful moraine lake that is hidden behind the Sabal Glacier and climbs a peak up to an altitude of nearly 5000 meters. We can also explore Hinku Nup Glacier, which leads north toward Kangtaiga.
At Tangnag, the upper Hinku valley takes an eastern turn, guiding us across the moraine of the Dig Glaciers. Upon reaching the Khare Lodge, it’s time to inspect and prepare your climbing gears. If needed, you have the option to rent the necessary equipment for your climbing expedition. Personal rental climbing gear is conveniently available at the Khare Lodge, even though at an additional cost.

Alternatively, you have the option to embark on a hike across the snowy glacier on the west side of the Hinku Nup Glacier, reaching an elevation of approximately 5,500m at Mera Base Camp. This optional day tour, however, spans around five hours, emphasizing a brief exploration rather than an entire day spent in Khare.
During this excursion, you’ll be treated to breathtaking views of Mera La and Mera Peak. For optimal acclimatization, consider staying for a while to rest, then devote an hour to a leisurely walk before returning to the Khare guest house for further acclimatization.
Prior to embarking on this journey, ensure that your climbing gear is in proper condition, as having reliable equipment is essential for a better and safer experience. If you lack suitable gear, you can request to rent it at the guesthouse in Khare.
Officially, the climbing adventure commences at Mera Peak high camp. In the winter, Khare is draped in heavy snowfall, and occasionally, the trail may pose challenges for climbers. However, the winter climb offers a uniquely amazing perspective, showcasing unparalleled views across the Makalu territory. Climbers have attested that the ascent to the high camp stands out as one of the most remarkable segments of the entire Mera Peak trek.
Prepare to fascinate with a stunning panoramas featuring towering mountains surpassing 7000m.

Following a hot beverage and a substantial morning meal, we embark on the challenging ascent to the Mera Peak summit. For the first part of the trail traces the main glacier and traverses the south side to the snowy humpback ridge, where a 30-degree slope awaits. While this presents a formidable challenge, it is not deemed a highly technical climb.
As we progress beyond the ridge, our route angles westward diagonally. Here, our experienced mountain guide safe a fixed rope for the final steep climb. Using ice axes and jumars, we navigate the last 30 meters at a 55-degree angle. Reaching the summit of Mera Peak, typically around 9:30 am, rewards us with a panoramic spectacle, including the majestic silhouette of Everest in the distance.
Take 5 to 10 minutes to relish the accomplishment at the peak before descending to the High Camp. Warmly welcomed by our staff with refreshing tea or coffee, a brief rest and lunch follow. Afterward, we descend to Khare Lodges, concluding this remarkable journey with a trek down from the summit.
There’s no guarantee that our planned summit day will be beautified with favorable weather conditions. Therefore, this day serves as a contingency, reserved for situations where summiting may be hindered by inclement weather or unforeseen circumstances. Should the weather take an exceptionally unfavorable turn, prudence dictates a postponement of our Mera summit climbing program.
This spare day also proves valuable in the event that someone encounters challenges in acclimatization, hindering their readiness for the ascent. Despite that, if our expedition progresses seamlessly without any issues, this contingency day will not necessary. It stands ready to address any unforeseen circumstances, ensuring the safety and success of our Mera Peak climbing adventure.

Along the way, tourists can marvel at the panoramic view of Mera Peak. As the day concludes, we find accommodation at the Thuli Kharka Guest House, covering a walking distance of approximately 13 kilometers.
Concluding our trek, we make our way back to Lukla Airport, crossing the Zatrwa La Pass at an elevation of 4,610 meters (15,125 feet). This an opportunity to collectively reflect on the trek and celebrate the personal achievements of each participant. Take advantage of the time to explore the vibrant Lukla Bazaar. It can take a toll on the knees, so a fantastic tip is to use trekking poles during this segment, providing valuable support.

Adventure Mera Peak Climbing Review
Mera Peak Summit Climbing for breathtaking view in our life
A friend of mine recommended Gokyo Treks and Expedition for our holiday in Nepal. We plan our holiday seriously and checking their impressions in the internet forum. We found a lot of good reviews of the agency so we have no dought to book our trip with them.
Firstly they are local agency based in Kathmandu and secondly, their prices are unbelievably lower than others. He arranged Makalu barun National park permit, Mera peak climbing permit and issued our Lukla flight tickets, and sent us a copy for proof his duty before we landed in Kathmandu. So, we received all permits and tickets originally right on our arrival.
Our climbing Sherpa Guide was professional, and well equipped so we were not worrying while we had bad weather in a high camp. Some other climbers were stuck near 100 meters above the high camp and rescued. Luckily the weather on the next day was sunny morning so we ascend the Mera peak summit and descend down to Khare quickly.
And yes! It’s not an easy trail to everyone!
Our porter Dewan Kulung carried our luggage all the way and was very friendly and honest. While reaching back at hotel in Kathmandu, Ammar Guni, owner of the agency handover the successful climbing mera peak certificate. What a surprise for us.
Thank you Gokyo treks agency making our climbing trip lifetime memorable by serving the best guide and porter. We can’t wait to return again for our next climbing in the Himalayas.
