Mera Peak Climb Trip Introduction:
The journey takes you through cool places like the Hinku valley, where you'll see beautiful Sherpa villages, green forests, and stunning mountain views. And hey, you get two days to get used to the high altitude, making sure you're ready for the big climb. The whole plan is set up to make sure you have an awesome time and reach the top with a big smile!
Our exciting journey kicks off from Lukla and takes us through the captivating wilderness of the Khumbu region until we reach the Zatar La pass at 4,610 meters. From there, our ultimate destination is the magnificent Mera Peak at 4,800 meters (that's around 15,700 feet above sea level).
While most of the climb requires basic crampon and ice axe skills, the real treat is the jaw-dropping views. During this journey, you'll be able to spot five of the world's highest mountains: Cho Oyu, Lhotse, Makalu, and Kangchenjunga. These giants, ranging from 8,201 to 8,586 meters in height, will be there to awe and inspire you along the way.
