Mera Peak Difficulty: Is Mera Peak Climbing Right for You?

Mera Peak is the most famous trekking peak in the Khumbu Region, known for relatively uncomplicated technical climbing. Of Course! Peak climbing itself is an adventure; however, the difficulty level of climbing is determined by several factors, such as the following day's weather circumstances, the climbing route you are taking, individual physical fitness level and prior climbing experience, climbing equipment, etc. 
Compared to the other trekking peaks Mera Peak is considered a technically straightforward climb, so this journey is suitable for even first-time climbers with previous high-elevation trekking experience and basic mountaineering abilities. You do not require advanced mountaineering technical skills such as ice climbing, rock climbing, or extensive rope effort.

Despite the climbing route not requiring specialized technical expertise, for the Mera Peak Climb, you need a good physical level to cope with the high altitude long and challenging voyage of steep ascending and descending with tough weather conditions. The climbing involves walking and scrambling on relatively straightforward terrain, hiking trails, snow slopes, or non-technical ridges. So, we at Nepal Mother House Treks highly recommend for travelers with previous high-altitude trekking experience in the Himalayas and some ample physical training (rock climbing, cardiovascular exercises, Yoga, hiking, strength training, and endurance building) before attempting the Mera Peak.

How Long Does the Mera Peak Permit Take to be Obtained?

A permit is a must for Mera Peak Climbing; without the permit, it is not allowed to climb. It can be obtained within a day from the Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA) at Naksal through the authorized trekking company and the required documents (the climbing leader's name of the group, each climber's passport details with a passport-size picture, climbing guide insurance, his authorized identity card provided by the NMA after complete climbing training, and a climbing fee and garbage deposit). The Mera peak permit can be ready within a day after submitting all documents online; however, to make sure, it would be best to make it as early as possible, at least two days before the trip departure date, if there are sudden holidays and any last-minute hassles. Hence, Saturday is a holiday in the week and the permit office will close on the Government holiday.

Mera Peak Climbing Permit Cost:

The Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA) has recently designated 27 mountain peaks with elevations ranging from 5,849 m (Khongma Tse/Mehara Peak is the NMA Lowest Peak) to 6,584 m (Chulu East is the NMA Highest Peak) as "Trekking Peaks" and promoted them. The Mera Peak Climbing permits can be obtained online through an authorized Trekking Company, which is a member of the NMA.  The peak climbing permit cost varies depending on the peak and climbing season; however, most peak permits cost from USD 70 to USD 100 per person during the summer (Jun, July, and August), and the highest cost of permits is USD 400 to USD 250 in the spring (Mar-Apr-May).  For the Mera Peak Climbing permits, the cost is USD 250, USD 125, USD 70, and USD 70 per person for foreign mountaineers based on spring (Mar-April-May), autumn (Sep-Oct-Nov), winter (Dec-Jan-Feb), and summer (Jun-Jul-Aug), respectively. Likewise, the Mera peak climbing cost is dissimilar for Nepali and foreign climbers.

Can we Rent Climbing Equipment for Mera Peak?

As this is adventure climbing, you need proper gear for climbing. Climbing equipment is the most important role to get to the destination successfully. Those adventure lovers who often do adventure climbing can use personal gear for the Mera peak climbing also. But nowadays, Khare (before heading to Base Camp/High Camp) provides the climbing gear for renting; all climbing gear can be hired from Khare, but you need to send your trekking boots size and required renting equipment list to us. We at Nepal Mother House will reserve the climbing gear for you.

Peak Climbing gear

Personal climbing gear like a climbing boot, crampons, an axe, a climbing harness, an ascending jumar, carabiners, Figure Eight/AATC Guide, a safety rope, etc. you can get in renting in Khare. They will charge USD 100 to USD 150 per person. However, down jackets, sleeping bags, gloves, and hats are not included in the cost.

Why does the Mera Peak Trip begin at Kharikhola Drive instead of taking the Lukla Flight?

Normally, the Mera Peak journey begins from Lukla (2,800 m) after a 30-minute flight from Kathmandu. Then 510 meters descend to the Surke Village, an elevation of 2,290 meters for an hour walk, and 440 meters ascend to the Puiya/CChutok (2730 m) with a two-hour walk. Then on the second day, walk upward to Mera Peak at Pangkongama (2850 m) for about 5 to 6 hours. 

Likewise, as another option, start the Mera peak adventure from Khari Khola (2020 m) by overland drive from Kathmandu on the first day; it takes almost a whole day by adventure Jeep drive (about 12 to 14 hours), then on the second day walk to the Pangkongama (2850 m). 

So, it is clear that on the second day, you will get to Pangkongama either starting from Lukla or Kharikhola. However, according to the current scenario, there are no direct flights available from Kathmandu to Lukla during trekking peak season (spring and autumn); you must 4 to 5 hours’ drive to Manthali airport at Ramechhap in the supper morning (1 to 2 AM) to catch the Lukla flight. As you know, the Lukla Flight is operated delayed often due to weather conditions in the neck above the Dudhkoshi River near Lukla airport

Sometimes, the flight is delayed by an hour to a day or many days depending on the following day’s weather conditions. Flying to Lukla from Ramechhap is not sure due to unpredictable weather in the high Himalayas. It is not worth being able to drive in the middle of the night if you cannot fly in time; you will not only miss your flight, but also your trip schedule will be changed, and the entire trip will be unsuccessful. The flight cost to Lukla is expensive, about USD 217 per person, so you will save some amount of money as well, whereas Kathmandu to Lukla/Kharikhola sharing Jeep costs 50 to 70 per person.

On the other hand, driving to Kharikhola by regular Jeep Drive from Kathmandu is sure that you will get to the Mera Peak Summit in time according to your itinerary plan, except for a very long drive, mostly an off-road drive in the mountains. That’s why we at Nepal Mother House Treks highly recommend starting Mera Peak climbing from Kharikhola and flying out from Lukla at the end of the trip as a different adventure test. Also, while driving to Kharikhola, your body has more time to acclimatize in high elevation compared to the Lukla flight, which is a good symbol of the success of the summit of Mera Peak. 

View from Mera Peak Summit

Mera Peak is the most popular climb due to the scenery from the summit with less technical climb.

Mera Peak Climbing and Spiritual Belief 

While climbing in Mera Peak, you will feel in the heart of the Himalayas. Your Physical body will be stronger and your soul will clean out of negative matter that was collected unknowingly during your daily livelihood. The mountain washed out all of your negative things and replaced the positive vibe after the trip.

According to the Holi epic, "Those are the sacred Himalayas where the Deity used to stay; the mountains are home of the divine being/supreme being/divinity". So as humans, when we walk in the Himalayas, our body goes automatically into Meditation Mode, so whatever we have done works, and our five sense organs—eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin—make our body and mind an illusion in this physical world." Those negative Karma will wash out while getting into nearly mountains. So, you imagine! when you get to the summit of the Mera Peak, the Top of the World or any other mountain summit, how pure is your body then

Himalaya is the Home of the Spiritual Beings; They Allow to Paly Us!

The Himalayas are the Sanctuary/home of spiritual beings. All the mountain names in Nepal have been given by various supernatural beings, like gods or goddesses. For example, Ganesh Himal (Elephant headed by God Ganesh, son of Shiva and Parvati), Gaurishankar Himal (Gauri known as Parvati and  Shankar known as Shiva himself), Mt. Kumbha Karna (Younger brother of Ravana from the Hindu epic Ramayana), and Sagarmatha (Mt. Everest is called in the Nepali Language "Sagarmatha," which becomes two words). Sagar+Matha means ' forehead (or Goddess ) of the sky, known as God of Sky, The Nepali name for Mount Everest is Sagarmatha, meaning "Goddess of the Sky. 

Likewise, the local Tibetan name for Mount Everest is Chomolungma, also spelled Qomolangma, meaning "Goddess Mother of the World." Chomolungma is pronounced "CHOH-moh-LUHNG-m. Mt. Annapurna (Goddess of food and nourishment, according to  Sanskrit  Anna (अन्न) means "food" or "grains" and pūrṇa (पूर्ण) means "full, complete, and perfect."), Mt. Manaslu (Manaslu means "mountain of the spirit," and the word is derived from the Sanskrit word Manasa, meaning "intellect" or "soul"), Mahalangur Himal (Maha means tulo/Big) and Langur means monkey, it is representative of Human, Machhapuchhre (Fishtail; there are two peaks, lite Fishtail, one peak representative as Nar (male) and next is Nari (female), modern language as electron and proton, or Eda and Pingala, where, among the 10th Avatar of Vishnu's, Matsya, the first of Vishnu's Avatars, the beings had to originate from the Machhapuchre Himal, so this is called a sacred mountain), etc.

Global Warming Concern In the Himalayas & Save The Motherly Earth while Mera Peak Climbing! 

So, you believe it or not this myth, the Himalayas are home to this plateau, where all the water sources begin. So, the Himalayas are the home of all living beings and a source of water that we all drink for our lives. It is not only Nepal's and Nepalese! As we live in this materialistic world in the 21st century, Global Warming is a significantly great concern on the planet, so the Himalayas are directly affected by it. We have eyewitnesses during our journey in nepal Trekking and Mountaineering since 2000 AD, the Glacier (Khumbu Glacier, Nagjumba Glacier, Annapurna Glacier, Imza Glacier, etc.) going deeper and Deepar after melting due to increasing temperatures, the Glacier lakes might be burst anytime. Without the Himalayas, this precious home of living beings becomes a RED planet. Our metric behavior rusting our Earth (Dhartimata). Let's save the earth! And do act immediately for every indivisible side to hand over this motherly plan to our offspring. So, while climbing the Mera Peak, we have to leave only our footprints on the trail; all the garbage must be disposed of properly.

Essential Information

Mera Peak Climbing Season: Everything You Need to Know

You must find out the best season for the Mera Peak adventure to successfully conquer the summit. Normally, the best season refers to stable, good weather with a pleasant, clear sky and fewer crowded climbers. So, choosing the best season is one of the key factors in climbing. 

Best Climbing Seasons for Mera Peak:

The best time to climb Mera Peak is during the pre-monsoon and post-monsoon seasons, respectively, in spring and autumn. The spring (mid-March, April, and mid-May) and autumn (mid-September, October to mid-November) seasons are the best times to climb the Mera Peak, with astounding Himalayan scenery and constant good weather. 

Spring Season (April to May):

Compared to both seasons, spring is considered the best time for Mera Peak to ascend; during this time, the weather is appropriate, with stable, clear skies and warm temperatures. Likewise, the sun rises early and goes down lately, so you have longer days and plenty of daylight hours for trekking and climbing. Similarly, spring is the best time for the epically rhododendron blooms, which add a splash of color to the scenery, enhancing the overall climbing experience.

Autumn Season (September to November):

Autumn is the most common season for Mera Peak climbing, with clear skies, stable weather patterns, and moderate temperatures. As this is the post-monsoon period, excellent visibility weather allows mountaineers to enjoy astonishing views from the top of the Mera, one of the world's highest mountains. The Mera Peak Climbing trails are also less crowded compared to the peak trekking season, so autumn is considered the best time for the Mera Peak.

Weather Considerations during Mera Peak Climbing:

As we mentioned above, spring and autumn are known as the best seasons for Mera Peak; however, the weather conditions in the high Himalayas can be unpredictable. The weather can change at any time. So, you must prepare with well climbing gear and physically strong strength to cope with the sudden weather change. Our expert Climbing Sherpa Guide will check weather forecasts every day, co-ordinate with our Management team of Nepal Mother House Treks and guide the members to be well prepared for the following days' weather circumstances, including snowfall and high winds.

Unveiling the Spectacular 360 Degree Views from Mera Peak Summit 

This is one of the best expeditions, where you will see a 360-degree view of the five tallest mountains in the world in a glance. The Mera Peak summit bestows breathtaking mountain views, including the pinnacle of the world, Mt. Everest (8848.86 m), Mt. Kangchenjunga (8586 m), Mt. Lhotse (8516 m), Mt. Makalu (8485 m), and Mt. Cho Oyu (8201 m) and many other beautiful peaks of Khumbu Region. This is the paradise of the Himalayas! The sunrise appears on the snowcapped mountains with a golden color that is magical beyond our imagination. If you are looking to see the highest mountain on the planet from one spot, then Mera Peak is the best destination with fewer technical climbing skill requirements.

Is Mera Peak crowded during Peak season?

Most of the climbers trigger Mera Peak climbing during the spring season due to warmer long days and suitable weather; however, during the autumn season, a number of climbers also ascend to Mera Peak. Mera Peak is a relatively less technical climb but a very long ascent from high camp for the summit. The climbing route will be busy during the main peak season; however, it won’t be crowded due to enough space for every climber. It won’t be crowded like the Mt. Everest Expedition or Amadablam.  Just follow the climbing guide's instructions; you will conquer the Mera Peak top easily.  

Some Important Tips for Mera Peak Climbing 

The accommodation and meals are included in the entire trip, however, your expenses like phone calls, laundry, Tea Coffee, bar bills, battery recharge, extra porters, and bottled water (hence, a bottle of drinking water costs NPR 50 to 500, so it is best to bring with you your water purification tablets, UV Water Purifier SteriPEN, or portable filter machine), a bucket of hot shower (which costs NPR 500 to 1,500), a heater, battery charging (for an hour charging NPR 1,000, so it is best to bring portable solar Power Bank with you), Internet Wi-Fi Charge (can buy till Khare; NPR. 1,000 per day), etc.

Likewise, please add some extra days listed as one or two days to fly back to Kathmandu after the trip. Due to the tricky weather in Lukla, sometimes the flight is delayed by a few hours, days, or weeks. This will help you catch up on your schedule without any stress. 
Make sure the insurance you have bought covers up to 6,470 m (21.227 ft) if you need any emergency evacuation or medication in the hospital.

Mera Peak Climbing is not as easy as trekking; it is an adventurous journey, so, you must be physically fit and mentally prepared to cope with the endless ascent to the summit of Mera Peak and the need to descend to Khare as well. Don't be so excited after getting to the top of the peak; just enjoy whatever you see. Sometimes, overwhelming emotion might be the cause of poor health. Likewise, if there are any concerns during the journey, let them happen; just see, it will bring good things for you. 

Physical Preparation Essential for Mera Peak Climbing

Climbing is not easy; you need to walk for six to ten hours on some days in the high Himalayas. So, you must be well prepared before Climbing Mera Peak, you must have a good level of physical fitness. Your body must be physically fit to cope with long vertical climbing and many hours’ drops in the mountains with dreadful weather conditions. You must be well-trained a few months before your journey, and prepare yourself by working on cardiovascular exercises such as running, hiking, cycling, swimming, rock climbing, and doing Yoga to improve your strength. This exercise helps to build your leg muscles, core strength, and upper body strength.

Likewise, before attempting the summit, your body needs acclimatization to adjust to the new environment. Don’t forget! We at Nepal Mother House Treks designed the Mera Peak Climbing itinerary with enough rest days to gain altitude every day, which helps to acclimatize your body to such thin air. Nevertheless, Mera Peak climbing is a straightforward climb; you must have some basic mountaineering skills to use crampons, ice axes, and ropes to ascend and descend. Even if you do not have any climbing ability, our Sherpa Guide will give you a few hours of climbing instruction and Mera Peak climbing route conditions at Khare. That will be sufficient for you, but you must follow the guidance of our Sherpa Expert while climbing.  

Preparing Mentally for a Successful Mera Peak Summit

Preparing mentally is another key to your successful Mera Peak summit. You may be involved in the Yoga and Meditation class regularly before the departure trip, Visualize your goal, “Get on the Top of Mera Peak,” and take pictures of the challenges you may face while climbing, This helps you gain confidence and determination for your goal. 

Likewise, practice positive self-talk with your past achievements and strengths and remind yourself why you are going to climb Mera Peak. And be confident that you have good climbing equipment and are in perfect physical condition, led by a professional Sherpa Climbing Guide.  

Similarly, you must stay in the present,, don’t think about your past, and don’t estimate what will happen. Practice mindfulness techniques to stay present at the moment and avoid getting overwhelmed by thoughts of the Mera Peak summit. Emphasize each step of the climb and trail, enjoy the natural beauty surrounding you, and show solidarity with your fellow climbers. 

As you have a time frame to complete the Mera Peak Expedition, although you don’t need to stick to the itinerary, the schedule will be changed according to the following day's weather conditions and your physical requirements. So, the Mera Peak Climbing itinerary will be flexible according to the conditions that occur. 

It is highly suggested that you listen to the local expert guide, stay focused on your goals, and maintain a positive mindset during the Mera Peak Climbing. By incorporating those mental preparation strategies into your training routine, you can enhance your resilience, confidence, and focus, ultimately increasing your chances of a successful summit on Mera Peak.

You must be mentally prepared for the strenuous situations above the Khare (the last tea house for the Mera Peak Climbing). You must sleep overnight at a tent camp at the Mera Peak Base Camp (5,360 m) or Mera High Camp (5,800 m) and give the best effort for 4 to 6 hours to reach the summit next Saturday morning from 1:00 AM to 2:00 AM and then descend to the base camp on the same day. Sometimes, you might be facing weather hazards, such as in high elevations, with your condition. Become Youssef strong enough to cope with any situation for a Successful summit. 

Travel Insurance for Mera Peak Climbing for your Safety  

Travel insurance is essential during adventure activities for your safety and your journey. It provides peace of mind and financial protection for Mera peak climbers, and travel insurance helps mitigate the risks associated with adventurous journeys in remote and challenging environments in the Himalayas.

Due to the adventurous nature of climbing Mera Peak, you may encounter any emergency while on the mountain. Emergency medical coverage, evacuation and rescue services, trip cancellation or interruption, loss or damage to equipment, and liability coverage are all covered by insurance. We at Nepal Mother House Trek are glad to assist you, in case you are facing any needy situation while climbing. The insurance must cover the elevation of 6,470 m (21,227 ft) at the top of Mera Peak for emergency evacuation, injury, loss of baggage, liability, and medical treatment.
