Mt Mera Peak {6476m}.

Mera peak climb is one of the most demanding and challenging treks ever undertaken in Nepal. Mera involves three different summits, Mera South, Mera North, and Mera Central. Previous experience of high-altitude ascending is essential for this Mera summit.

The first climb of Mera was done by Jimmy Roberts and Sen Tenzing on 20 May 1953, who came to have ascended the central summit. The next listed climb was not until 1975 when French Climbers Jolly, Baus, and Honills ascend the north summit. Mera is together with the topmost of Nepal’s official trekking Peaks.

What you can see during Mera Peak Climbing

Mera Peak Climbing grants some of the most alluring mountain visions, unblemished forest, wildlife and high elevation ascending in the world. The climb is technically straightforward, however, the heavy snow and the jungle of gap can make the way longer to the summit.

Mera Peak Climbing doubtless is one of the best vantage points in Nepal, from where you will have stunning vista of Chamlang peak, Mt. Everest, Mt. Kanchenjunga, Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Makalu, Mt. Cho Oyu, Mt. Baruntse, Mt. Nuptse, Mt. Amadablam, Mt. Pumori,Mt. Kangtega, Mt. Thamserku together with other range of peaks stand in the Everest region.

Similarly, by the track, you will have the chance to tour around the Sherpa ethnic groups, their noticable culture, traditions so as the variety of flora and fauna and more.

Best Time to Travel

As for the favorable seasons to hold out the trekking within the Makalu Region, the suggestable time would be September to November and March to might. Throughout these times, the visit is showered with the esoteric fantastic thing about nature and also the outstanding landscape views.

To avoid the traffic, you’ll be able to select any of the days from December to February. It’s also told that in the winter the temperature here goes down low that poses challenges to the travelers. Aside from botanists, the trekking during this region in monsoon or summer that’s from June to August are often compact by the rain.

 

Physical Condition & Experience Requirements

Walking in higher altitudes is a lot of physically exacting than walking within the lower altitudes, however, if we have wonderful health with average shape, have a positive perspective, self-worth and powerful determination, we are able to accomplish the trek with success.

Exercise and jogging frequently for a few weeks before the trip is a nice plan to boost our strength and stability. Past hiking expertise would be a quality, however, no technical ability is needed for this trip. It’s vital that we have a tendency to sit down with our doctor before we have a tendency to decide and discovered for the mountain peak trek.
