Mera Peak Climbing Altitude Profile

Traveller Useful Information

At 6,476 meters above sea level, Mera Peak is the highest trekking peak in the Himalayas. Close by to Mount Everest in the Khumbu region, Mera Peak is an ideal climb for a beginner mountaineer wanting to begin their journey to the Himalayas. Stunning panoramic views of some of the world's highest peaks, including Everest, Kanchenjunga, Makalu, Lhotse, and Cho Oyu, are a sight to behold from here. From the top, breathtaking views of the surrounding snow-laden Himalayas greet the climber.

Mainly, the mountain is triple-peaked: Mera North-6,476 meters or 21,246 feet above sea level, Mera Central-6,461 meters or 21,197 feet above sea level, and Mera South-6,065 meters or 19,898 feet above sea level. Of these three summits, the most popular is the Mera North; over the years, it has served as a starting point for mountaineers who seek experience and acclimatization for even higher, further remote mountains. For most novice climbers, this peak is their stepping stone to future, even more demanding climbs.

While Mera Peak is considered to be neither the toughest of climbs, neither would it be called a complete cakewalk. It is rated as a moderately difficult climb; there are high-altitude ascents and some semi-technical routes in the climb. The majority of the climb is straightforward, non-technical, but there are areas that will need basic mountaineering skills, hence ideal for beginners. With proper training and preparation, novice climbers can confidently take on Mera Peak and gain important experience.

The weather conditions play a vital role in scaling Mera Peak successfully because this is a cool place at high altitude. There are four distinct seasons in the region, and they include spring, summer or monsoon, autumn, and winter. Each has its different trekking experiences. However, to have the best possible experience, spring and autumn are preferred.

Spring (March to May)
Spring is one of the best seasons to climb Mera Peak as it offers moderate weather and fascinating scenery due to blooming flowers including rhododendrons. Early March can be pretty cold whereas late May receives intermittent rainfall.
Temperature: -15°C to 10°C

Summer/Monsoon (June to August)
The summer in Nepal coincides with the monsoon period; wet, slippery trails besides less favorable cloud cover obscuring the mountain views; hence, this season is less recommended for Mera Peak climbing. However, late August is considered a better time since the rains ease.
Temperature: 3°C to 16°C

Autumn (September to November)
Autumn is held as the best time to climb Mera Peak. The temperatures are pleasant with small rainfall, landscapes are green and the mountain views are clear and striking. Early September might witness some residual rainfall while late November may face snow. Conditions are good during this period of time.
Temperature: -11°C to 12°C

Winter (December to February)
Winter on Mera Peak is extremely cold, and icy and snowy trails add the extra degree of difficulties. Actually, winter ascents are not recommended because of safety considerations, though early December and late February may also be considered decent for experienced climbers.
Temperature: -20°C to -4°C

Summary: The spring and autumn seasons offer the best conditions for climbing Mera Peak because comfortable temperatures balance with breathtaking scenery.

A Lifetime Memory: Mera Peak Climb in Nepal

3rd April, 2018

The truly impressive Himalayan Dream Team-my husband and myself started an adventure of a lifetime in May 2018 to Mera Peak. From lush valleys to Himalayan heights, each step was photo-worthy. Being a quiet person, I was very apprehensive initially, but the friendly supportiveness of this team and the comradery of fellow trekkers soon put me at ease. They also provided us with maps, an expert guide, and a porter to make the trek safe and enjoyable. As a matter of fact, Nepal's natural beauty and its friendly people have left a mark on our hearts, and we are already planning our return. Many, many thanks to the Himalayan Dream Team for their excellent service-highly recommended to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure in the Himalayas!
