Mera peak luxury climbing tours

Mera Peak is the most demanding highest trekking peak in Nepal that is characterized as ‘traveling tops’. At 6,476m it is an extremely high mountain in spite of the fact that it requires practically zero specialized jumping on its typical route.

Despite that, we suggest climbers for climbing Mera Peak in late April, May, late September, October, and November. We find that when we get on Mera Peak, by and large, the greatest months are May and October. On the off chance that you choose to move in late March, early April, or late October into November, you should be prepared for colder conditions.

To prepare for Mera top climbing you need deep and lengthy fortitude alongside perseverance. You can incorporate lungs, and step heart stimulating exercises into your preparation program is incredible for this.

Indeed, some climbers who don’t have enough time for climbing peaks in the Himalayas, especially Mera La summit, usually choose a luxury climbing plan which includes the Helicopter flight from Lukla to Khare Guesthouse and after climbing the summit Mera tour then they take again a helicopter flight back to Lukla. But then the chances of altitude sickness are higher, so this type of option is available for professional climbers only. And they choose a regular flight on a good weather day from Kathmandu to Lukla and return otherwise chopper flights. In terms of cost, regular Planes are more efficient and cheaper to fly because they can travel faster and further on less fuel.

The Mera Peak vs island peak climbing

Mera Peak and Island Peak are two enticing climbing destinations in Nepal. Mera Peak, the highest trekking peak in Nepal at 6,461 meters, offers a challenging ascent for experienced climbers seeking breathtaking Himalayan views.

Both journeys reward climbers with stunning panoramas including high mountains, villages and a sense of accomplishment, making each ascent a memorable experience.

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.

Gokyo Treks and Expedition is the best travel service you can envision!! Ammar, the proprietor, coordinated our Mera peak summit climbing in a very expert manner. He responded to many inquiries so persistently and he was consistently fair with regard to what is possible or not.

During our climbing and hiking excursion to Mera Peak, we generally kept in touch with him and we knew whether there would have been any issues Ammar would have had organized everything to help us.

He truly needs that you have a great time in Nepal. You can feel that! Many thanks!!! We previously did a lot of outings and mountain tours, yet this one was exceptionally unique. We think it was a direct result of the delightful nature yet significantly more on account of the Nepalese individuals like Ammar!

We had pleasure to use services of Gokyo Treks & Expeditions during our tour. It was 19 days in the mountains, trekking and Mera Peak and Amphu Lapcha Pass climbing. Services were professional, stuff was really helpful and friendly.

During our trip there was good communication with Ammar, so we could be sure that someone is escorting us. I can highly recommend this agency and will use their services again for sure.
