Mera Peak (6,476 m / 21,247 ft) is the highest trekking peak in Nepal, making it a top choice for climbers seeking the thrill of high-altitude mountaineering without the technical difficulties of more demanding peaks. Located in the Solu Khumbu region, Mera Peak provides breathtaking panoramic views of some of the world’s highest mountains, including Mount Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, and Kanchenjunga.
The journey begins with a flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, the gateway to the Everest region. From Lukla, trekkers pass through lush forests, traditional Sherpa villages, and high-altitude landscapes, allowing for gradual acclimatization. Key stops along the way include Chutanga, Thuli Kharka, and Kothe, leading to Mera Base Camp at approximately 5,300 meters (17,388 ft).
From Base Camp, climbers move to High Camp at around 5,800 meters (19,028 ft) to shorten the summit day and improve chances of success. High Camp offers stunning views of surrounding peaks, providing both motivation and a preview of the challenges ahead.
The ascent typically begins in the early morning hours. While Mera Peak is a non-technical climb, it requires the use of crampons, ice axes, and ropes due to snow and glacier conditions. The route involves steady climbing over snowfields and glaciers, with careful navigation around crevasses. The final push to the summit is the most demanding due to thin air and a steep incline. Reaching the top rewards climbers with unparalleled 360-degree views of the Himalayan giants—a truly unforgettable experience.
Mera Peak is ideal for adventurers looking to experience high-altitude climbing in a breathtaking setting while gaining valuable mountaineering experience. Its combination of accessibility, spectacular scenery, and challenging yet achievable summit makes it one of Nepal’s most popular trekking peaks.

Recognized as one of the most dangerous airports in the world, the flight to Lukla is an adventure in itself. The small airstrip nestled high on a cliff has an uncharacteristically short runway. The flight to Lukla gives us unprecedented beautiful views of the mountains and the mountainous terrain of Nepal.
