Best Season for the Mera and Island Peak Climbing.
Unforeseeable weather on the higher altitudes of Mera and Island Peak makes it quite difficult to climb these Peaks all year around. Thus if you ask which is the best season for the Mera and Island Peak Climb? The answer is always Spring and Autumn.
The moderate temperature and stable weather lessen several challenges that you might not avoid during the offseason climb. The crystal clear skies and magnificent snow-capped mountain views during the Autumn and Spring seasons lure every climber on the trekking trail. To prevent yourself from the cold and occasional rain, make sure to bring warm clothes and rain gear.
A Himalayan region trek during the Spring takes you through the trails adorned with vibrant rhododendrons and other wildflowers. Besides the mountain vistas, the views of the blooming wildflowers add more pleasure to your challenging Mera and Island Peak Climb journey.
How difficult is the Mera And Island Peak Climbing?
Mera Peak climbing is the highest climbing peak in Nepal and demands no technical training. However, saying this doesn’t mean that the trek is easy. Yes in comparison to the technical Island Peak Climbing, the Mera Peak climb is less daunting. But, remember the final section of both of these climbing peaks requires huge stamina and courage. The use of ropes and crampons is common in these sections.
Walking over the scree, glaciers, and narrow and steep snowy trails challenges your endurance. Besides, the risk of getting caught by altitude sickness is high as you approach more towards the summit. Therefore, taking proper acclimatization is highly recommended. Further don’t forget to rehydrate your body from time to time. Avoidance of smoking and alcohol drinking is great while climbing the high-altitude regions of Mera Peak and Island Peak.
As the temperature and weather are also quite unpredictable and risks of high winds and blizzards are always there. So choosing the best trekking season you can avoid such risks to some extent.
Apart from all the above, your packing matters a lot in making your climb more interesting or daunting. So make sure to pack all the essential gear and clothing before the trek.
To overcome most of the challenges on the way, it is always recommended to take a guide and porter during this strenuous Mera and Island Peak Climb. Walking 8 hours daily on the steep and uneven trails for weeks with a heavy backpack seems quite impossible. Therefore, if you are thinking of doing the solo trek, you better remove this thought from your mind.
Experience required for Mera and Island Peak Climbing:
The first and foremost thing that you need to have for this trip is a good fitness level and mental stability. As long as you have a strong health condition and mental preparedness, nothing can stop you from accomplishing the Mera and Island Peak Climbing.
Being a beginner climbing Peak, little or no previous trekking or mountaineering skills are required for the Mera Peak Climbing. However, the Island Peak Climbing is quite technical. Therefore, previous high-altitude trekking experience is highly recommended before joining this Mera and Island Peak Climb.
Having previous trekking experience over an elevation of around 5,000 m helps you build a certain level of confidence within yourself. With that confidence, you can complete the entire climb more fascinatingly.
To conquer the Island and Mera peak climb you should be able to trek for around 7 hours per day through the trek. Further, the trek is not always on the easy trails. Most of the time you have to walk on the rocky and moraine glacier trails. Snowy steps and scree make the climb tougher.
Not having mountaineering skills might disappoint you a lot during the trek. But, to eliminate your stress and disappointments, the guides are there to train you before the actual climb.
With a good fitness level and proper acclimatization schedule, you can deal with every challenge that comes your way.
Recommended Training for the Mera And Island Peak Climbing:
Before joining the Mera and Island Peak Climbing, get some practical knowledge on how to use basic mountaineering equipment like crampons, harnesses, ropes, and so on. The use of this climbing equipment makes your final ascent on the Mera and Island peaks a bit more comfortable. Besides the final ascent on the Peaks, this equipment is highly useful during the crossing of Amphu Laptsa Pass.
Starting the stamina and endurance-building physical training at least a month or two before climbing is highly recommended.
Making your body more flexible cardiovascular exercises like Swimming, Jogging, Hiking, and Cycling help you endure muscle strain. Further, the daily practice of these exercises increases the oxygen level allowing you to cope with the high altitude sickness during the climb.
A month before the expedition, make sure to join the gym daily and eat the proper diet. Prior to heading towards the journey, do your whole body checkup. If there is any problem with your body, make sure to inform us.
Apart from all the above-mentioned things, mental preparedness is necessary for the successful Island and Mera Peak Climbing in Nepal.
Accommodation and food on the Mera And Island Peak Climbing trail:
The expectation of the lavish hotels and lodges on the trekking trail of Mera and Island Peak gives you nothing more than disappointment. If you start the trek from Lukla to Island Peak following the Everest Base Camp trekking trail, then in the initial trekking days you can enjoy the luxurious stay in Lukla and Namche.
However, we will be starting the trek from Lukla by heading towards the rustic villages of Payon, Pangoma, and so on. Thus be ready to stay on the community-run teahouses and lodges. Though the service they provide is very basic, their elegant smile and benevolent nature lift your mood during your stay.
Undoubtedly most of the dining halls on these teahouses are spacious when compared to the bedrooms. The bedroom they provide consists of basic amenities like twin beds, a mattress, blanket, bed sheets, and pillow.
Rather than the western toilets, you will find the squat toilets in these teahouses. It will be better if you bring your toiletries during the trek. To use the hot shower, wifi, and charging facility be ready to pay an extra cost.
Sleeping under the tented cam should no longer be your problem if you are on the way to Mera and Island Peak Climbing. On the High Camp and Base Camp, you have to spend the night in the camps. Further, trekking on the Himalayan trail might come on several occasions when you have to spend the night in these camps.
Till you are on the Mera Peak trekking trails, don’t expect vast varieties of food. However, as you enter the Khumbu region, the teahouses, hotels, and lodges offer you a variety of luscious Western and traditional cuisines. No matter what variety they offer, during lunch and dinner, you better order the Nepali Traditional Dal Bhat.
Whenever you feel cold, try the Nepalese tea available in most of the teahouses and lodges in both higher and lower altitude regions.
