01: Mera (Peak 41) - 21,830feet / 6,654meters
The Highest Trekking Peak of Nepal  

This is the true Mera Peak as described in the official trekking peak list as Here is the proof:

(1) Thousands of climbers have climbed "Mera Peak" in Nepal believing they have conquered the highest "Trekking Peak" of the Nepal Himalayas. Indisputable evidence shows they have missed their target by 8 km (5 miles) and climbed an easy nameless mountain almost 200m too low.

(2) The exact location for Mera is given in the list by Ministry of Tourism and Civil Aviation (MTCA), where the location for Mera Peak is North 27°46'27" and East 86°54'40". The location of False Mera where all the climbers have gone so far is North 27°42'24" and East 86°52'9". This can be checked from any map showing the latitude and longitude.

(3) The Mera marked on the new Nepal Government topographical map, which must be regarded as the official view. On this map the word Mera is written 8 km North-Northeast of False Mera and it fits the MTCA location information perfectly. The newly calculated height is 6648m.

South ridge is un-climbable, East and north faces almost so. Northeast ridge is a difficult mixed 1600-meter climb. West face is possible, so is north-west ridge, but access to Mera West glacier (Khare glacier) is difficult: either a 500 climb up an icefall or a 1000 meter climb over west side ramparts to the glacial basin at 5600 meters.

Mera Peak is the highest of the permitted "Trekking Peaks" in Nepal. The trek begins by flying into the heart of the Himalaya to the village of Lukla. From here you will cross a high pass into a remote valley and steadily acclimate, as you have to move toward base camp & establish a high camp on the glacier from where you will attempt the summit.

You will have excellent views of Makalu, Everest, Lhotse and other spectacular peaks. This is a great trek and climb in an ancient land where Sherpas still graze yaks, cook on yak dung fires and live a very simple life. Porters to make our trip more enjoyable and culturally interesting will carry our food and equipment.

By its standard route from the Mera La, the ascent is technically straightforward; however, after a heavy fall of snow or when the maze of crevasses are open, the way can be long and demanding. Far and above the most rewarding aspect of a trip to Mera is a chance to venture into a little-visited and as yet unspoiled region of Nepal where the hillsides are still densely forested and a need to be self-sufficient is essential. There is also, of course, the pleasure of going above 6.000m.

There are many approaches to Mera; some are easy and some require the crossing of high and difficult passes, making a trek to the peak a real mountaineering adventure for which effort is rewarded with spectacular scenery and ultimately one of the finest viewpoints in Nepal.

This is the perfect trip for the mountaineer who wants to make the most of his / her Himalayan adventure by living in unique culture and climbing in traditional Himalayan alpine style.

A Sherpa guide (Sirdar), cook team will support your trek and climb. We spend a significant amount of time acclimating to new altitudes to increase safety and comfort levels. We cover basic mountaineering skills on the glacier prior to your climb.

Further Information to arrange a climb to above trekking peak will be provided on request
