Mera Peak stands proudly as the highest trekking peak in Nepal, rising to an impressive elevation of 6476 metres in the Mahalangur Himalayan Range. Although multiple trekking peaks can be climbed across Nepal, Mera Peak climbing is the most sought-after because it combines high-altitude adventure with relatively moderate technical difficulty.

The mountain consists of three distinct summits—Mera North (6476m), Mera Central (6461m), and Mera South (6065 m)—with Mera North recognized as the main and highest point. With Nepal Trek Adventures (NTA), climbers will attempt the true summit of Mera North, which is officially regarded as the Mera Peak summit. Due to its quieter trails and less-crowded routes compared to the Everest Base Camp region, Mera Peak Climbing from Khare has become increasingly popular among adventure lovers seeking a pure Himalayan experience.

For mountaineers who dream of reaching the top of a Himalayan peak without taking on extremely technical terrain, Khare to Mera Peak climbing is an excellent choice. From the summit, climbers are rewarded with one of the most spectacular panoramas found anywhere in the world—an unobstructed view of five of the six tallest mountains on earth: Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, and Kanchenjunga.

Although its high altitude demands strong physical endurance, the standard route across the northern glacier only requires basic to moderate climbing skills, making it a perfect option for motivated beginners and experienced trekkers alike. Historically, Mera Peak gained recognition during the early 1950s, when British climbers such as Edmund Hillary, George Lowe, and Eric Shipton explored this region during the pre- and post-Everest expeditions.

While Mera Peak climbing is considered achievable for well-prepared climbers, altitude and weather remain critical factors for a safe ascent. The classic northern route requires walking across high-altitude glaciers, where proper acclimatization and training are essential. Harsh conditions or heavy snow can increase risks, which is why climbing with a professional and experienced team is extremely important. More technical variations are found on the peak’s west and south faces, but the Khare to Mera Peak route remains the safest and most preferred option for most climbers. Throughout the journey, trekkers get to witness the raw beauty of Sagarmatha National Park, home to diverse wildlife such as Himalayan Thar, Musk Deer, Snow Leopard, Langur monkeys, and other rare species thriving in the high Himalayan ecosystem.

Our Mera Peak Climbing from Khare Package is specially crafted for trekkers who wish to travel independently up to Khare and join our fixed departures for the climbing section. During the main climbing seasons—March, April, May, October, and November—NTA’s experienced Sherpa climbing guides and support crew remain stationed in Khare, ready to assist climbers with training, equipment, and logistics.

Unlike many companies, NTA maintains a fully equipped gear store in Khare, allowing climbers to rent quality mountaineering equipment on-site. This eliminates the need to carry heavy climbing gear from Kathmandu. Our team arranges everything: climbing equipment, Mera Peak permits, tents, meals, ropes, safety gear, and professional guidance directly from Khare.

Before the climb, all required documents for the Mera Peak climbing permit will be collected in Kathmandu and delivered to your guide before your arrival in Khare. It is mandatory for climbers to reach Khare at least one day before the summit program, as our expert climbing guide will conduct pre-climbing training, essential for beginners or those unfamiliar with glacier techniques.

This training includes crampon walking, ice axe usage, rope handling, and ascending/descending systems. With NTA’s careful preparation, reliable team, and high safety standards, you will be fully equipped to take on this incredible Himalayan challenge.

If you are an adventure seeker longing for a high-altitude achievement, the Mera Peak Climbing from Khare is an unforgettable mountaineering experience. Nepal Trek Adventures proudly offers a carefully designed itinerary with flexible options for 2026 and 2027.

This session includes a complete overview of the route from Khare to Mera Peak High Camp, expected weather, physical requirements, safety protocols, and the challenges of climbing a 6,000-meter Himalayan peak. Our guides at NTA are government-licensed, highly experienced, and have led numerous successful Mera Peak summit expeditions, ensuring that you start your journey with confidence and clarity.

This includes practical instruction on using mountaineering gear such as crampons, ice axe, ascender, harness, and rope techniques on a nearby slope. Your guide will demonstrate glacier walking techniques, fixed-rope climbing methods, and safe descending practices. Even if you are a beginner, this training helps you build essential skills for navigating the glacier and the gradual snow slopes on summit day.

The rest of the day is spent acclimatizing in Khare, hydrating well, and resting for the next day’s ascent.

Today marks the beginning of your actual ascent as you leave Khare and climb toward Mera Peak High Camp (5780m). The trail starts with a gradual climb over the Mera Glacier, offering breathtaking views of peaks like Mera North, Mera Central, Kyeshar Shar, and Peak 41. Walking on the glacier requires steady pacing, so your guide will maintain a controlled rhythm to ensure smooth acclimatization. As you walk, you will use the techniques practiced during your training session, boosting your comfort on the icy terrain.

As you gain elevation, the environment becomes more dramatic and glacial features become more pronounced. The path is mostly non-technical but requires careful stepping due to the icy and windy conditions common at higher altitudes. Your Sherpa guide will fix a safe route and ensure rope support wherever needed. The steady climb rewards you with wide, open panoramas of the Hinku Valley, adding a sense of excitement as you inch closer to the base of the summit. Reaching Mera High Camp is inspiring, as it is perched on a ridge that showcases world-class Himalayan views.

Upon arrival at Mera High Camp, you will be welcomed with warm soup or tea and encouraged to rest immediately. The Sherpa team sets up a secure campsite where you will spend the night.

Summit day begins early—around 2:00 AM—with a warm drink and light breakfast. Equipped with headlamps, ropes, and technical gear, you begin your final push toward the Mera Peak summit (6461m). The route starts with a steady climb on a snow slope that gradually becomes steeper closer to the summit ridge. Your Sherpa guide manages the rope, ensuring safety throughout the ascent. As dawn approaches, the sky glows with orange and pink hues, revealing the majestic Himalayas around you. This experience alone makes the climb unforgettable.

The final summit ridge is the most thrilling part of the climb. Using your ice axe and crampons, you follow the fixed line to reach the top. As you step onto the summit of Mera Peak, you are rewarded with one of the best panoramic views in Nepal.

    Amazing High-Altitude Adventure To Mera Peak In Just 3 Days

    Climbing Mera Peak in just three days from Khare felt like the perfect combination of challenge and excitement. The guide made sure I was comfortable with the climbing gear before we set off, and his experience showed at every step of the route. The glacier section was both thrilling and safe thanks to proper instruction and careful pace management. The scenery throughout the climb was breathtaking, especially as we gained altitude.

    Summit morning was unbelievably beautiful. The sky was clear, the winds were calm, and the Himalayan panorama appeared more impressive with every step. Reaching the top and seeing Everest, Lhotse, and Makalu lined up in the distance was something I’ll never forget. The organisation and support from Nepal Trek Adventure and Expedition played a huge role in making this high-altitude adventure smooth and unforgettable.
