So, where does the trek & climb Begin to Mera Peak?
Well, the Mera Peak Climbing journey starts by trekking and also ends by trekking. The trek will actually begin and end in Lukla, which is a small town and is regarded as the entrance to the Everest region. To reach here, it will take you only a few minutes from Kathmandu on a domestic flight. Being on a flight for about 35 minutes, you will land at Lukla Airport located at an altitude of about 2,860 meters (9,383 feet).
Stepping out of the aircraft, trekkers will leave Lukla and follow the well-known Everest Base Camp trail until they reach the Paiya/Panggom villages. Being located in the lower Solu Khumbu area, these settlements are the place where the Mera Peak Climbing journey begins. After passing those villages, the Mera peak journey passes through several settlements, including Ningbo, Tashing Ongma, Khote, Tangnak, and Khare.
Mera Peak climbers usually pick Khare as a base camp since it offers a place to relax and acclimatize before trying the summit. Finally making their way up to Mera High Camp from Khare, climbers will go for their final push to Mera Peak summit, which will go up to the height of 6,476 meters (21,247 feet).
Note: It is also important to keep in mind that the route and the starting points may change according to the preference of the trekkers or the weather conditions.
For the finest experience, when should you do Mera Peak Climbing?
The common misperception among inexperienced climbers is that the summer is a great time to do Mera Peak Climbing. But that is absurd. This place is at a high altitude, so even during summer, the morning and evening hours are often frigid. In addition to that, the season also receives frequent rainfalls in the lower region which makes it automatically unfavorable for climbing or trekking.
As a result of our extensive climbing experience and client feedback, we particularly like to go out in autumn and spring. Pre-monsoon (March, April, May) and post-monsoon (September, October, and November) seasons are additional ways to describe these times of the year.
Spring
Spring is obviously a perfect time to do Mera Peak Climbing. Starting from March, the weather seems to be relatively cooler and only a few people arrive for the climbing. But as time goes on, the views get more refined and the air becomes often more fresh. So it is good to start this month but however, but we highly urge you to pack much warmer clothes and gear.
As soon as April month arrives, the climbers start to flood in and capture the teahouses in the region. Since the April month has more stable conditions compared to March it is very obvious to happen that. Porters, trekkers, and Yaks with clanking bells will be swarming the trails. As a result, you will get the chance to interact with locals and other trekkers who share your interests.
The month of May marks the end of the spring season. And starting this month, the characteristics of the summer season start to gradually emerge. However, in the first few days of the month, the island peak climbing journey experiences weather that is still warm and relaxing, offering the ideal climbing conditions for the climbers. However, as mid-May approaches, the clarity will drastically decline and there will be a light drizzle along with a formation of clouds. Therefore, flight delays may occur in late May as a result of unstable weather conditions.
Autumn
Autumn is the best and the busiest season to do the Mera Peak climbing. All of your needs for an adventure will be met throughout the Autumn months. To tell in short, this season is distinguished by its clear sky, chilly, dry environment, and consistent weather. However, the autumn season will have slight weather changes in its months.
Speaking of September, the monsoon rain will still have a minor impact as you may face light rain showers. So, ultimately heading for a climb this season may cause flight delays. September will be primarily suitable for those who have flexible time and can wait for a couple of days more. Hence, it has to offer you scenic landscapes with colorful flowers and moderate temperatures.
Moving on to the following month October is the busiest month compared to all of the 11 months. The busyness this month happens for a good reason. The weather is pleasant and dry all across the Everest region. It makes the Mera Peak climbing so comfortable that it is unforgettable for climbers throughout their whole life.
Mera Peak Climbing Difficulty
Since Mera Peak is taken as the warm-up destination before going on to the Everest Summit, many of you would wonder: Is Mera Peak difficult? To answer in short, The final stage of the climb comprises a tough ascent, therefore Mera Peak climbing is a little challenging. However, this varies from person to person and the time they decide to take this trek.
One of the main factors that determine the difficulty of this climb is the duration. As this climb spans regularly for 2 weeks, you will cover approximately 150 km in this trip which is considered a lot for a normal trekker. Not only the distance, but you will also have to travel through rugged and steep trails in various sections of the route. If you are not used to walking in this type of terrain then it will surely be difficult for you. So, the trek duration and the route itself speak to the difficulty level of the climb.
Besides that, the time you choose for Mera peak climbing will also determine your difficulty level. The spring and autumn seasons will be the very best choice for trekkers for Mera Peak climbing. Whereas, winter and summer season is not favorable season to climb this peak.
This season offers consistent weather with balanced temperatures all over the region. Also, there is very little chance of experiencing landslides, snowstorms, or Avalanches in the higher region which ultimately decreases the difficulty level of the climb.
Prepare yourselves for Mera Peak Climbing
We believe that preparation should be done a few months in advance before starting this multi-week trekking and climbing excursion. Preparing for Mera Peak climbing several months beforehand allows you to increase your level of fitness, gain the necessary knowledge, pick up the correct gear, and adjust to it. To help you prepare for the trek and the climb, we are going to discuss certain things so that you can focus on them.
Physical conditioning
As you should know, Mera peak climbing is a hardcore adventure and it requires sheer determination and ability. To make your journey 100% successful and enjoyable, you need to start a regular workout regimen that will focus on developing cardiovascular strength and endurance. To condition your body, involved in physical activities like trekking, running, cycling, swimming, and strength-training workouts. In particular, strive for a well-rounded fitness regimen that includes both strength and cardio exercises.
Altitude training
If possible, think about including altitude training in your planning. Spend some time at higher altitudes to simulate lower oxygen levels. Later on, this exercise will help your body adapt to the lower oxygen levels at higher altitudes.
Mental Preparation
To do a successful Mera peak climbing, mental toughness is just as important as Physical toughness. You must develop an optimistic outlook, visualize the peak in your head, and get ready for the obstacles and possible challenges. Therefore, throughout your training period, keep up your drive, focus, and mental resilience.
Equipment Check and Purchase
This is not a 2 or 3-day trip. For that reason, you have to prepare the gear and equipment before a couple of months. While heading out on the Mera Peak climbing journey you cannot wear new clothes and gear as it will be tight. Wearing tight gear could cause you problems, therefore you should wear well-fitted ones. We recommend you wear quality clothes. Hence, don’t forget to test your clothes and gear to ensure your safety and comfort.
Don’t overload your bag
While purchasing the gear and clothes, you should choose lightweight materials. To make the backpack light, you should also reduce the supplies. As you know this is particularly a long day trek, and carrying a heavy backpack will put a strain on your body. You will need more energy when carrying additional weight, which can make you exhausted and cause you to move more slowly. Therefore, preparing wisely and carrying a light load will improve your comfort, mobility, and safety while doing Mera Peak climbing.
Gain trekking experience
As you must know Mera Peak climbing is more than a regular trekking or hiking. So, prior trekking experience is mandatory (if possible do higher altitude trekking). Doing this will enable you to understand the challenges of the higher altitude and familiarize you with the surroundings. If you don’t have any kind of previous experience, then we firmly request you to do short or long treks in the mountainous regions.
Lastly, keep in mind that Mera Peak climbing is an exhausting journey. It demands adequate physical preparation, previous trekking experience, and the appropriate gear. Therefore, to ensure a safe and successful trip to the peak, take enough time to train, gain experience by doing treks, and prepare your mind to face any kind of situation.

Thanks, Mission Himalaya and Birendra for your great care and arrangement.
