After Breakfast your day will start with a sightseeing tour of 2 Popular UNESCO Heritage sites of Kathmandu Valley. Our first destination is Swoyambhunath. This place offers a majestic view of the entire Kathmandu valley. Stupa of Swoyambhunath epitomizes Buddhism. Our next sightseeing will be at Buddha Nath (the biggest & Largest Buddhist Stupa in the World). In this Area, you will visit Buddhist Monastery and stop for a lunch break. If the weather is clear you can see the nearest Mountain of Kathmandu- Ganesh Himal from the top of the Restaurant.

After lunch, we will return back to our hotel, and the tour for today is finished. It normally takes a 3-4 hours tour to visit the 2 best monuments within Kathmandu city. Afternoon free for packing for the trek and getting ready.

We take the stunning flight to the small airstrip at Lukla, (2,800m) the entry to the Khumbu region, and the start point for the popular trail towards Everest. It is a busy little village with many lodges, equipment and supply shops as well as the airport. We start our trek heading south from Lukla with a steep descent to Surkye. From here we have a steep climb up to the Chutok La from where we contour into a side valley to Piuyan (2,800m).

We descend for a while and reach a small bridge. From here the trail is slippery until we cross the Kari La pass. We walk through rhododendron and bamboo forests on a narrow mountain trail. On today’s trip we also get to be in awe of the Dudhkoshi Valley. We continue our trek to Panggom Village whose settlers are dependent on farming and trading. Overnight in Panggom.

We start our beautiful day after breakfast. We hike through a lush forest of bamboo and rhododendron with views looking back to Number and Kongde peaks, to the Pangkongma La pass (3,170m). From the top, we can see Naulekh, and five minutes below the pass we catch our first views of Mera's impressive South Face. It’s a long, steep descent to the bottom of the valley, with views south over the hills of the lower Himalayas. We have lunch in a small lodge just above the river and after lunch, we cross the Hinku River using a suspension bridge and have a 2-hour climb up the east side of the valley to Ramailo Dada

From Ningsow, we climb first then descend for a while and climb some more to reach Ramailo Danda. From here we get extraordinary views of Mera Peak and Salpa. After ascending and descending our trail, we enter the Makalu Barun National Park. Our trail from here to Chhatra Khola is called Pasang Lhamu trail. On the way, if we are lucky, we might even come across the elusive Red Panda. Overnight in Chhatra Khola.

We walk towards the north on the main trail to Mera Peak. After walking on a trail next to the Majang Khola, we merge with another trail that moves alongside the Hinku Khola. Our trail moves straight ahead towards Trashing Ongma which has seasonal tea shops. We continue our trek and cross the bridge over the Sanu Khola before reaching Kothe. Overnight in Kothe.

We trek along the ridge of the Hinku Khola in the shadow of Mera Peak. We take lunch at Gondishung, the summer herders' settlement in the west bank of the Hinku Drangka. Beyond Gondishung, we pass a 200-year-old Lungsumgba Gompa where we can find Mera Peak scripted in rock along with its route to reach Mera. A short walk takes us to Thaknak, which is a summer grazing area with primitive lodges and shops. Overnight in Thaknak.

As per our 25+ experience in Climbing field, good physical conditioning & excellent acclimatization of high altitude is key for the successful summit of Mera Peak, therefore we highly recommend staying one night at Thanknak (4,358m/14,297ft) before heading to Khare (5,045m/16,486ft). Most of companies do not have rest day in Thaknak, However, it is very important to have an acclimatization day hike in Thaknak. Today after having good breakfast, our expert Sherpa guide will take you for day hike above 5,000 meters which will helps you acclimatize better as you expose yourself to higher altitudes then return to a lower altitude to sleep. Tangnag is growing all the time and gorgeous mountain setting. In the evening, you can rest in a lodge and warm up with a nice fire.

Today we will climb above 5,000 m (16,400ft) for the first time. Our hike up to Khare (5,100m, 16,728ft) is short, but we will take it slowly, with frequent stops to soak up the incredible surroundings. The trails head eastward out of Tangnag, along with the lateral moraine of the Dig Glacier. We will pause to climb up the moraine for a view of the pristine Sabai Tso glacial lake. A drop-in lake level, caused by a recent rupture of the natural dam that held the lake, is clearly visible. We will arrive at Khare in the early afternoon and have lunch. From Khare, the beautiful north face of Mera Peak is in plain view and Mera glacier spills steeply down into the valley. Overnight at Camp/or local lodge.

We have a separate day set aside solely for acclimatization and basic training just to prepare ourselves better for the Mera Peak climb. Our Expert Sherpa climbing Guide will help us polish our best climbing techniques and demonstrate the best ways to use our climbing gears like the ice axe, harness, ascender climbing boots and crampons. The training will also include learning the best climbing technique with the rope. Overnight in Khare.

After having excellent acclimatization and skills review in Khare, today after having our breakfast, we will gradually ascend to Mera High Camp 5,800m/ 19,029 feet. We will climb up to the Mera Glacier. At first, it is easy but the trek up to the glacier is steep in parts and you will need to pace yourself and make sure you are getting your foot placements correctly. We suggest wearing helmets; crampons as there is a chance of rocks falling. The hike across the glacier is exceptional, with views and memories you will never forget. We keep on the easy graded snow slopes, and after a short distance arrive at a part of crevasses which we will have to navigate carefully. We then make our way slowly up to High camp. Do not forget to look behind, from where you will see stunning views of Mt. Everest, Mt. Nuptse, Mount Makalu & Lhotse and this ascent up to high camp holds some Himalayan treasures. Our well-situated high camp is hidden behind a rocky section. The campsite is small and has some drop-offs on the right as you enter the camp. It is time to rehydrate and recovers for the summit push.

The climb to the summit of Mera starts gradually and much will depend on snow and general weather conditions. The central summit will soon appear above the head of a wide glacier flanked by two ridges. We climb the centre of this over open snowfield and avoid crevasses. The route then swings south-east, skirting below and to the east of the left-hand ridge before turning back rightwards towards the main summit ridge of Mera. Mera actually has three summits; the highest is our objective. We reach this by following a classic snow-ridge to just below the final wall that guards the top. This short steep snow slope is easily climbed but there is a big effort required to climb this last 50 metres. Your reward, however, is a feeling of ecstatic jubilation as you survey the magnificent panorama from the top.After taking pictures and enjoying the view, we descend by the same route back to our campsite below the Mera La. We will stop for lunch at High Camp, and then continue the descent to Khare for an overnight stay.

Today we will hike for like 7 hours to reach Kothe. The walking is not tough. We walk along the gradual descent path passing through Tangnang. This is a small village and we find a Yak settlement here. To reach Kothe we will follow the same kind of path. On the way, we pass forests covered with fir, rhododendron, and local vegetation. Overnight at local lodge.

The rest day in Kothe is highly important as this day acts as a backup in case the scheduled climb is disrupted by bad weather. 

As you know, there is no guarantee that we will have good weather on our planned day for the summit. Therefore, this day is set aside as a contingency in case we are unable to summit the Mera on the desired day due to bad weather conditions or any other unanticipated reason.

By adding this extra day to your itinerary, you will have the option to try the summit again on the next day if needed. If the weather becomes good and you didn't need the extra day for the summit, it can be used as a well-deserved rest day after the challenging and long walk to summit Mera Peak. This thoughtful arrangement ensures you recover well, promoting your overall well-being and allowing you to finish the expedition feeling refreshed.

A hard day today as we start our climb of the Zatrwa La, the pass that brings us back to Lula. Departure Kote a small rocky trail takes us down the Hinku Valley for a couple of hours. There are some very steep rocky steps both up and down. We lastly leave the Hinku Kola and commence a very steep climb through the forest. We have an early lunch at Toktar, a small cluster of teahouses in the forest. Through the trees, we can just spot the summit of Mera Peak now far away. After lunch, we continue climbing up through the forest. The rhododendron trees give way to smaller bushes and the mountains begin to appear across the valley. Looking back on a clear day we can see all three summits of Mera, Peak, and Naulekh. The higher we climb the better the views and we can trace much of the route we have trekked over the past couple of weeks. Finally, we reach a few prayer flags and from here the trail eases as we approach the lodge at Chetrabu. We enjoy views of Mera's vertical west face.

The last 300 to 400 meters of the ascent to the Zatrwa La will be our last climb of the trip, with superb views southwards across the ridge and valley landscape of Nepal's Middle Hills. From the crest of the pass, we trek downhill, steeply in places, for almost 2000 meters to the welcoming lodges of Lukla.

Today we trek through forests of fir, rhododendron, oak, juniper, and local vegetation. The trail we walk along with moves uphills and downhill all the way to Lukla. We can enjoy the views of Numbur Himal, Kongdi Ri, Karyolang peak, and many other surrounding mountains of the region. Finally, reach Lukla, confirm our flight ticket, and overnight at Camp. Evening celebration of the successful Trek & Climbing. Overnight at Guest House.

Today, after a hale and hearty breakfast, we fly back to Kathmandu after our long mountain journey. The early morning flight drops us at Kathmandu. We can rest and relax throughout the day at our hotel.

If interested, we could buy some gifts to take home from Nepal for loved ones and friends, and relatives; we can visit some nearby shops or venture out to Thamel for typical Nepalese goods. Mountain Sherpa’s guides either can assist this short excursion, or we can do it ourselves too.

If you want to explore any other areas in Kathmandu, you have to manage time for this today as well! At eventide, we will attend an exciting celebration dinner together for completing Mera Peak expeditions hosted by Mountain Sherpa Trekking and Expeditions! Overnight in Kathmandu, the valley of the gods. 

As a well-established local Sherpa company with over 25 years of experience, we highly recommend allocating an additional day in Kathmandu as a contingency for potential flight delays from Lukla due to weather conditions.

In the event that everything goes as planned, that's wonderful. However, this contingency day can be a valuable opportunity for a fascinating cultural tour, exploring two captivating and ancient Newari cities, Patan and Bhaktapur. The tour, lasting about 5-6 hours, provides a fantastic chance to immerse yourself in the local culture, ancient architecture, and fine arts. Take in the medieval charm of Bhaktapur Durbar Square, where well-preserved palaces and courtyards transport you through time. Your adventure doesn't come to a pause; it becomes even more enriching with every moment. We assure you of a delightful and fulfilling experience.

After breakfast, our representative and office vehicle will be on standby at our hotel to transfer us to the airport for your connecting flight home. Serving you was an incredible joy and pleasure, we at Mountain Sherpa Trekking and Expeditions will cherish the bonds of our relationship created over the time you spent with us, and we thank you for choosing us as your travel partner and for visiting this fantastic country Nepal.
