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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

I cannot recommend Mountain Sherpa Trekking highly enough for anyone seeking a truly exceptional mountaineering experience in the Himalayas. Thank you, Mingmar, Pasang, and the entire team, for an adventure of a lifetime. I look forward to our next expedition together!

For more than 23 years, one name has stood out as synonymous with trekking excellence: Mountain Sherpa Trekking. Whether it's climbing Mera Peak, embarking on a luxurious Everest Base Camp trek, or venturing on a multi-country tour across Nepal, Tibet, and Bhutan, they have consistently been the top choice.

I've personally had the privilege of experiencing their exceptional service on numerous occasions, leading groups ranging from 7 to 25 people. And let me tell you, every facet of their operation is unparalleled.
From the friendly and professional demeanor of every staff member to the expertise of Sherpa guides like Tashi, PD Sherpa, Migmar, and Pemba Sherpa, they unfailingly deliver excellence.
Even our daily driver, Mr. Janga Ghale, was a delight to be around – always punctual, knowledgeable, and flexible, seamlessly adapting to our ever-changing schedule with a smile.
After countless treks and expeditions, I can unequivocally declare: do not even consider another tour company. Mountain Sherpa Trekking has consistently proven itself as the premier Sherpa tour company in Nepal, time and time again.

What would you advice other travellers?

We always recommend booking your Mera Peak climb or any trek in Nepal with a reputable Sherpa company. It's crucial to have a well-planned itinerary, especially for high-altitude acclimatization, and most importantly, an experienced Sherpa guide.

Our journey with Mountain Sherpa Trekking & Expeditions was akin to an adventure with dear friends. From the outset, Mr. Pasang Sherpa, through emails and WhatsApp, exuded friendliness and responsiveness, cultivating our trust.

The four-night stay in the Kathmandu hotel arranged by Mountain Sherpa was exceptional—clean, well-equipped, and centrally located. The hotel staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making our total stay of 4 nights (2 before and 2 after the trip) truly comfortable.
The Mera Peak climbing itinerary crafted by MSTE was well-conceived. Staying 2 nights at Thaknak (altitude: 4,358m/14,297ft) and 2 nights at Khare (altitude: 5,100m/16,728ft) before ascending to High Camp at 5,800m/19,029 feet proved to be a brilliant strategy for acclimatization. Our group felt well-prepared and energized when we reached High Camp.
Our expert Sherpa guides, Migmar and Pemba, alongside our silent hero porter, were unwavering in ensuring our well-being. The Himalayan trail unfolded like a sacred path, marked by outstanding service from Mountain Sherpa Trekking & Expeditions. The trek was made enjoyable with plentiful food and comfortable lodgings, culminating in a special night at High Camp beneath the stars.
The rented sleeping bags provided the perfect cocoon, balancing our needs with the embrace of nature, ensuring warmth throughout the journey. Despite a few headaches, our group, blessed by the mountains, relished the Mera Peak climb.

Dear Pasang,Thank you for a well run trek. Our guide was very experienced and was quite sensible about our approach, especially compared to some of the other guides. Overall, the trek was an awesome experience, something I will never forget. There is something amazing about standing on top of one of Nepal's peaks and looking out over the land. Thank you for organizing the opportunity for that to happen for us.


Sincerely

Vital Information

10 reasons to choose Mountain Sherpa Trekking for the Mera Peak Trip

1). Top-notch Sherpa Guides

Our whole guides & staff are 100% Local Sherpa people from the Everest region. As you know “Sherpa’s are highly regarded as elite mountaineers and experts in their local area. They were immeasurably valuable to early explorers of the Himalayan region, serving as guides at the extreme altitudes of the peaks and passes in the region, particularly for expeditions to climb Mount Everest”

We have extremely professional, reliable, and experienced climbing Sherpa’s working with us. We have four expert Sherpa guides for each group of ten trekkers on the trail in order to make sure all of our teams have the best chance at safe success in their goals. Since we will employ experienced Sherpa guides, they will take care of everything and will make your trip easy and wonderful.

2). Supporting Our Community

We believe that we all must give back to our society, as a responsible Sherpa Company, we know the importance of giving and supporting those in need. Hence, Mountain Sherpa Foundation has been established to help address the basic needs problems of the deprived people and low-income families of a remote part of Nepal. We work directly with the local communities to find lasting solutions to poverty and injustice. We seek to help and to be helped to ensure that poor people can improve their lives and livelihoods.

We continue to help the local community and have helped our Sherpa guides, porters, and staff. As things get worse for tourism workers amid covid-19 pandemic, Mountain Sherpa Trekking director Mr. Pasang Sherpa distributed relief packages to more than 450 Sherpa trekking guides, porters, and climbing guides on 25 May 2020, Similarly, He supported to Trekking Agencies Association of Nepal (TAAN) that has established a food bank for the tourism workers in Nepal during the COVID 19 pandemic.

3). Quality Run Journeys

Unlike most companies, the Mountain Sherpa Trekking guide will not control the food menu during your trek in Nepal, which means you can select any food from the lodge menu as per your taste. Our guides will provide you with enough meals on their trek as part of the trip price. A lot of times people are only given the same food each day for every meal, and we don’t do this. You are allowed to pick what you eat for each meal in all the lodges we stay in.

Our guides will make sure that you get good quality lodge accommodation & enough hygienic food during your treks and climbs in the Himalayas which is most important for a successful trip.

4). More Acclimatization

Your safety and enjoyable trip are always our priority. Our guide will make sure all of your party is properly acclimatized in the Himalayas before going higher. After a decade of experience, we know trip safety needs more time to acclimatize to the lower levels of oxygen, in order to reach 21,246 feet. We know that excellent acclimatization is the key factor to a safe and successful trip to high and extreme altitudes. Our itinerary has seven days of trekking up to 5,000 m (16,400ft). Then we have two nights at this altitude for extra climbing training and acclimatization. This will help to give your body the time it needs to acclimatize correctly

We have one night at Mera Peak Base Camp at 5,350m/ 17,552 feet before moving to Mera Peak High Camp at 5,800m/ 19,028 feet. We also have an additional contingency day at the end of the trek in case of bad weather conditions or unanticipated reasons. Most companies are not doing this and we have seen over the years that it is the main reason why more people on our trips are making it safely to the summit of Mera Peak!

5). Climb with an expert local Sherpa Guide

An expert local Sherpa guide leads all of our Mera Peak Expeditions. You can walk through the region with someone who has wide-ranging experience in the mountains and lead groups to safe and unforgettable experiences.

Most of our Sherpa guides have led many trips on Lobuche Peak, Island peak, Mera Peak, Chulu east, Tent Peak, Ama Dablam, and Mount Everest and so many more.

If you book far enough in advance, you will be a part of a professionally led trip on our unique itinerary. All of our guides hold current Wilderness First Aid Certificates and climbing guiding qualifications.

6). Over 25 Years of Experience

We have years of experience operating and organizing Mera Peak successfully. Our expert Climbing guides like Mr.Lhakpa Sona Sherpa, Mr. Dawa Sherpa, and Mr. Jangbu Sherpa have climbed Mera Peak over 70 times and climbed other peaks numerous times including Island Peak & Lobuche Peak, and many other peaks. All our guides are from the Everest region where all the highest peaks including the world's tallest peak Mt. Everest are located.

On our Mera Peak climbs, we use quality Tents. We use quality tents on all our camping trekking and climbing trips in Nepal. All our mountaineering gear is stored in Lukla and we carry it into Mera Peak every season. Our own cook Dilli or Kaji will trek with the team to Mera peak in bigger groups.

Porters will carry the majority of our gears and personal packs up the mountain, allowing trekkers time to fully appreciate the surrounding environment.

7). Five Star Hotel in Kathmandu

We include four nights in a five-star hotel in Kathmandu. Two nights before your trip and two nights after the trip. All of our trips are on a shared basis, but if you prefer a single room, this can be offered at an additional cost. We use the Marriott Kathmandu - Located at Naxal, Kathmandu. Combine the modern design with local creativity or Yak and Yeti Hotel - A centrally located Luxury 5-star hotel in Kathmandu. Which is just a 5-minute walk from the main tourist district of the city.

8). Small Group Sizes

Climb Mera in an open group: this is great for those who want the company of others while they climb Mera. Our group climbs start every day. They are limited to a maximum of 10-12 and are guaranteed to run with a minimum of 2 people. We also organize solo private Mera Peak expeditions, if you are traveling alone, don’t worry we will organize your solo trip as well.

Some of our groups are even fewer people with only 4 or 6 team members. This will therefore give you are more personalized experience on our exceptional trek up to Khare and climb Mera Peak. You can move as a team and experience more of these world-class trails in a smaller group.

9). More Summit Attempts

We have more days for summit attempts. We have two nights in Khare and one night in Mera Peak Base Camp, Therefore we also can hike directly to the high camp from Khare if there is a better weather window for a summit attempt. We also have an extra day at the end of the trek, since 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. We can use that day for summit attempts. The program is designed with this in mind so the guides can manage the team, safety, and summit attempts while having good options. You may need this flexibility.

10). Specialists and Experts:

All our Sherpa team know everything about how to climb Mera Peak having done it so many times and they know the Nepal mountains and Himalayas route from first-hand experience.

Drinking-Water:

For many of us, the perfect choice may be to go for mineral water. After all, it’s sealed and safe to drink, plus it provides an income for the local traders – right? Regrettably, things are never quite that simple. Mineral water produces a vast number of knock-on problems for mountain societies.

While it does provide an income to local people it also generates an extraordinary, heart-breaking amount of waste and spoiling. Most places simply do not have the resources to do anything with the empty plastic bottles – and they burn them, releasing toxic gases into the air, or leave them in piles just out of sight of travelers, where they take more than 450 years to decompose.

Take, for example, Mera Peak Trek. The recommended amount of water intake on a high-altitude trek like this is 3-4 litters a day. The trek is 13 days long. That’s more than 40 litter and 40 plastic bottles, which won’t decompose until the year 2466 – per person.

For a full MST group of 12 people, just one trip will result in more than 480 mineral water bottles. And the salt in the wound is that plastic doesn’t decompose at high altitudes, so those 480 or more bottles will be up there forever. But what can you do? You have to drink, so how can you get around the problem?

The Alternatives: The great news is that there are really various options that will help you out of the bottled water trap. Here are just four of the best. All you have to do is pick which one is right for you.

Striped- Steripen is the most trusted model on the market. This technique uses exactly the same process as most mineral water undergoes before it is bottled. It’s UV filtering, exactly the same treatment as the majority of bottled water undergoes to be purified, but on the go. The technology has been around for much longer than you think, but it’s only recently been competitively priced enough to be on the market. SteriPen is an American company; other UV filters are also available.

Boiled water– This isn’t always an option if you’re out and about, but boiled water is an excellent option for safe drinking water on the trek. Boiling the water kills any nastiness lurking there. It is the safest and most convenient option. Most lodges serve it, and it is great to ward off the cold. Prices range anywhere between NPR 50 and 120 per liter. This means the cost of drinking water will be around $40-$60 for an 11-day EBC trek.

Purification tablets– Water refining tablets or chemicals like chlorine dioxide are frequently used. They are easy to carry and cheap to buy. However, they are not as effective as UV filters or boiled water and need a few hours to act. Besides these, LifeStraw and iodine-based treatments are also available but have their drawbacks.
