I and my friend always wanted to do peak climbing around the Everest region but we were not sure about choosing a travel agency for proper management during our trip. Then somehow met Samir on Travel blogs, he advised us to Mera peak climbing in the Everest region and he helped us manage all the possible factors during the trip. So, We chose Mera Peak Climbing in Nepal. It was a perfect experience in Nepal, Mera Peak Climbing to explore the Everest region. Trekking was awesome with amazing views of Mount Ama Dablam and other world's highest mountains like Mount Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, and Kanchenjunga made us more overwhelmed and pleased. Our Guide Shiva was great to know all about this trekking route and told us about every monument and place we met on the way.

In comparison to other trekking peaks of Nepal Himalaya Mera Peak, is less technical a straightforward climb but leads to steep snowy slopes to reach the summit. One of the highest trekking peaks in Nepal where one has to take it slowly with enough rest as altitude gains, our expert climbing guide will support you make the climb much possible guiding all members to the top and with safe descend, where we will have main ropes on slippery sections on route downhill.
Not much like on a major mountaineering expedition, but yes you need some excellent gear for the climb, an important for all climbers is a good ice-axe, to begin with, then crampons, harness, helmets, carabineer/karabiner and main ropes which will be provided by the company, etc. Including your personal warm clothing with good climbing boots.
Certainly, it is worth a climb to Mera Peak, if you are interested in basic or high standard climbing and mountaineering. Mera Peak with the highest success than any other trekking peaks, a perfect peak for beginners as well as for veteran climbers as a practice exercise before planning and climb to major mountains.
As altitude-wise, it won’t be a big problem but can happen to some trekkers/climbers in the group or with other illnesses, like severe diarrhea or any other medical and health issue. If the member with the worse condition has to break the journey and reach Kathmandu by the fastest means of transport for evacuation. The only fastest and reliable is taking a helicopter service, where all medical and other expenses incurred have to be borne by oneself. Where it can be reimbursed from the insurance company, with a supporting letter from Vertex Holiday and as well from medical doctors in Kathmandu.
Around high Khumbu and at Lukla of strong Buddhism religion and culture of ancient heritage custom with the traditional life of farming and raising livestock. Khumbu areas dominated by Sherpa follow Tibetan Buddhism. But on this trek and climb, there will be no villages except for some Yak and cattle herders’ temporary shelter of huts and shades. As you will be in remote corners of the Khumbu area with few Buddhist monuments on route to observe the local culture.
It happens sometimes, even during the best time of the year. Where Himalayan weather can be unpredictable sometimes, but not all time of the good seasons. In this situation, if the flight does not operate, due to unfavorable weather. Our guide will make the best effort, as well contact the head office in Kathmandu regarding the situation. If the weather does not improve for flights, even on the next day the best option is to use helicopter services if needed, especially for people with tight international flights. Staying longer in Lukla for few days and use of chopper where clients have to bear the extra expenses and to be claimed from your travel insurance company.
Nearly all seasons of the year, but best in spring from March to May with autumn/fall of September to November, including pre-winter times of December. Spring is best with wildflowers in full bloom till Tengboche Monastery, and with clear fine days, most of the time can get cloudy in the late afternoon with clear starry nights. Much cold in the morning and nighttime as well in shady areas and the wind-chill factor adds colder with freezing temperatures, can expect snow sometimes around higher altitude.Autumn/fall is another best time with a clear day for views and climb of Island Peak and trekking. But can be much cold morning and night time, can expect snow sometimes around higher altitude.
From Lukla onward, there will be no facilities with electricity to charge your electronic gadgets, as you will be around complete wilderness away from villages or human habitation and settlements. The best way to charge your electronic items is by carrying a small portable solar panel that can be carried outside your back-pack to catch sun energy for you to use in campsites.
