How much money do I need to bring with me?

Your personal budget obviously depends on your spending habits and what is included in your trip cost. If accommodation is included, but meals are not, we would suggest that you bring around 30 USD per day per person for meals. Having a hot shower or charging your device sometimes costs extra. There are also sometimes small crafts/souvenirs to buy along the trekking route which you may want to bring extra money for. Also, consider whether you would be staying in Kathmandu or Pokhara before or after your trek.

Is quarantine in Nepal in effect for arriving visitors?

There are no quarantine requirements in Nepal for arriving visitors at the moment.

How much should my backpack weigh?

A properly packed backpack (not including your day pack) should ideally not weigh more than 13 kg. It is also important to note that if you are taking a flight to the start of your trek, many smaller aircraft have weight restrictions. For example, if you are flying from Kathmandu to Lukla, you are only allowed 10kg of checked luggage, and 5 kg of hand baggage. Thus, in case of a small flight, you should ideally pack a 10 kg backpack for checked luggage, and then add 5 kg in your hand baggage. You can then re-shuffel the weigt once you start your trek at the trailhead.

The decision to hire a porter is up to you and usually based on your fitness level and/or budget. One porter can be shared between two people and can carry up to 25 kg. Many trekkers hire a porter to have a more comfortable trek.

Do I require a porter for carrying water?

On most popular treks you can expect plenty of places where you can refill your water bottle, meaning you don’t need to carry a huge water supply with you. Bring an extra bottle of water if you are concerned. If you already have a porter, you can ask him/her to carry water as long as it is within the weight limit. Another option is to carry water purification tablets or LifeStraw, both of which can be found in Kathmandu.

HIGHLIGHTS

Summit Mera Peak (6,461m) Nepal's most popular trekking peak
Enjoy a non-technical climb in the Everest region
Experience off the beaten path trek through Sherpa villages of Paiya, Thaknak & Khare

This is an excellent opportunity to climb Nepal’s highest trekking peak, which means a peak that can be climbed without having to obtain a permit. Join us on this guided experience of a lifetime and climb a mountain in the Everest region. From the summit, you can enjoy stunning views of several 8,000m plus peaks, such as Everest, Cho Oyu, Kanchenjunga, Lhotse and Makalu. In addition to taking you more than 6,400 meters above sea level, this climbing trip trek allows you to enjoy numerous stops at teahouses and overnight camps in a region rich in culture.

The journey begins with a short scenic mountain flight to Lukla followed by a trek through a number of Sherpa villages, noticeable by their gompas (monasteries), chortens (engraved stones) and multi-colored Tibetan prayer flags. Venture along more isolated and less-trodden trails through Hinku and Hunku valleys en route to Mera Peak Base Camp. You will summit the peak on Day 12 and return back to Kathmandu. Mera Peak is not a technical climb since its slopes do not exceed 30 degrees. You will feel safe as fixed ropes will guide you to the summit while you follow in your guide’s footsteps.

Mera Peak is an ideal choice for anyone with moderate mountaineering knowledge and experience. The most challenging aspect of this trek is getting acclimatized. You will need only basic climbing skills, which our guide can assist you with prior to your ascent to the summit.

Note: Usually, this Mera peak climbing trip involves climbing the Central Mera Peak (6,461m). There are two other faces of Mera Peak – North Mera (6,476m) and South Mera (6,064m). We can also operate climbing trips for these faces as per your request as well. Please do not hesitate to click on the 'Make an Enquiry' button if you have any questions.
