Overview

Mera Peak Climbing is one of Nepal’s most popular and achievable high-altitude peak climbing adventures. Located in the remote Hinku Valley, Mera Peak offers a true Himalayan climbing experience with breathtaking views and a gradual ascent that allows proper acclimatization.

From the summit, climbers are rewarded with one of the most spectacular panoramas in the Himalayas, including Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, and Kanchenjunga. The journey blends trekking through untouched valleys, crossing high passes, glacier travel, and a final snow ascent — making it ideal for trekkers ready to step into mountaineering.

More than a climb, Mera Peak is a journey of self-discipline, focus, and inner strength, surrounded by silence and vast Himalayan space.
