Conclude your trek with a descent through rhododendron forests, reflecting on the awe-inspiring landscapes and unforgettable experiences.
Your adventure culminates with a flight back to Kathmandu, leaving you with cherished memories of this extraordinary trek.
Mera Peak (6,461 m), the highest trekking mountain in Nepal, is reached via Mera Peak Climbing. Anyone with a little bit of mountaineering experience should climb Mera Peak. Due to its elevation, it is a difficult trekking peak, although only very basic technical climbing skills are needed. Off-the-beaten-path in the rarely visited Hinku Valley is the climb to Mera Peak. The trail is isolated, the surroundings are untamed and clean, and there are not many populated areas. You'll spend the most of your nights in teahouses at yak herders' summer camps or remote kharkas.
Although Mera Peak is not particularly difficult technically, it is tall at 6476 m, has a long summit day, and is exposed to the elements. You need to drink plenty of water and keep your pace manageable and slow. Although the snow route itself is not particularly difficult, it is a long day out and will wear you out. You must feel at ease moving while cinched in and keeping a safe line while moving on a man rope. You also need to know how to walk in crampons and use your walking axe to self-arrest. We set up a high camp for this peak, so you should be comfortable camping on snow. It's also crucial to stay warm, dry, hydrated, and well-fed to be in the best condition on summit day.
This seven-day, guided tour takes you to some of the most important places in and around the Kathmandu Valley, giving you the chance to learn more about its culture and history. Be part of this trip and explore the three durbar squares in the valley as well as destinations like Panauti, Nagarkot and Chandragiri.
Although Nepal is known all over the world for its mountains and is home to some of the highest peaks on the planet, this country is equally rich in culture and history. The people in and around Kathmandu follow rituals that blend elements of both Hinduism and Buddhism, something that you will realize as you tick off the temples and stupas located in and around the city.
Also included in the itinerary are Nagarkot and Chandragiri, two towering hills located on either side of the valley that offer gorgeous sunrise and sunset views along with a panoramic mountain scenery.
