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.
Mountain bike the famous Annapurna Circuit for a one-in-a-lifetime challenging and scenic ride! Looking for an incredible adventure and something beyond the same old trekking? We have designed this two-week mountain biking package in the Himalayas.
The Annapurna region earns its popularity from stunning mountain terrain, lush valleys, glaciers, lakes and overall incredible scenic beauty, along with a prominent culture and traditional lifestyle in this high alpine region. A biking tour is the best way to discover these hidden treasures and diverse landscapes of the Annapurna.
The trail starts right from Besisahar and follows river Marshyandi to its source, catching the enchanting mountain views of Mount Manasalu and Himal Chuli to the east. En route, cycle by mountain villages inhabited by a wide diversity of local people. Extending the breathtaking scenery to its side, the trail continues to the north of the main Himalayas range to the height and dry Tibetan plateau. Biking via the Thorang La pass, you will pierce from Manang—one rain shadow valley— into another valley --Mustang.
The trip includes a visit to Kathmandu and Pokhara, including a sightseeing trip in the Kathmandu Valley.
Often regarded as one of the best off-the-beaten-path treks in Nepal, Makalu Base Camp is where you are looking for a fairly challenging trekking experience on a less crowded route. Makalu Is the fifth-highest peak in the world, and on this trek you will be reaching its foothill.
The Makalu Base Camp is part of the Makalu-Barun Valley in Sankhuwasabha district of Nepal. It is a glacier valley in the Himalayas, offering stunning views of several mountain peaks such as Everest, Lhotse, Baruntse, Chamlang and, of course, Makalu.
Since not many foreign travelers visit Makalu Base Camp, you can expect to see and experience authentic mountain culture and traditions. But Makalu does test the trekkers to their absolute limit before offering itself. Along the way you will journey through the lush forests, tiny mountain hamlets, meadows and waterfalls. And if you are lucky, you might even chance upon the local wildlife including the elusive red panda and even leopards.
This 14-day Makalu Base Camp itinerary is therefore a unique blend of breathtaking nature, culture and adventure.
Please see the itinerary section for more details about the trek.
