Mera Peak Climb in Nepal
After successful back-to-back trips to Mera Peak, many more people are interested in joining us. our Meera peak trekking and climbing activity is starting again this Autumn. Namaste Nomad offers the best price and service, and our sherpa guides are very experienced, having already summited many eight-thousand-metre mountains in Nepal. Mera Peak, at 6454 metres, is one of the most alluring trekking peaks in Nepal as it involves a culturally stimulating journey through remote picturesque villages and forests, followed by a relatively gentle climb to the summit. As Nepal’s highest trekking peak, it’s a popular climbing destination for anyone who’d like a serious challenge, and to gain high altitude experience.
The trek takes you through the remote and wild alpine areas of the Hinku and Honku Drangkas valleys in the Baruntse National Park then crosses the snow line and rises higher and higher until you feel like you’re on top of the world. The view from the summit, in fact, is one of the finest in the Himalayas with five 8000m peaks visible: Mount Everest (8848m), Cho Oyu (8201m), Lhotse (8516m), Makalu (8463m) and Kanchenjunga (8586m). Our itinerary has been carefully designed to allow for a gradual ascent and for proper acclimatization – your safety is our highest priority. Please read through the itinerary and if you are interested join one of our fixed departures. We can also arrange exclusive treks if you wish to go with your own group – just contact us at info@namastenomad.ie
Our price includes international flights (for people flying from Dublin). We reserve the right though, if flight costs are higher at the time of booking, to ask you to pay the difference. All clients also have the option to arrange their own international flight from their home country to Kathmandu and return.
Day 1: Arrival in Kathmandu
Upon your arrival at the International Airport in Kathmandu, our team members will welcome you and explain briefly about the travel itinerary. You will then be taken to the hotel where you will be staying overnight.
Day 2: Flight to Lukla
On the second morning, you will board a flight to the Lukla Airport, also commonly known as Tenzing-Hillary Airport. It is a wonderful mountain flight and the flight itself can be no less than an adventure as the airport is enlisted as the most dangerous airport in the world, given the location, altitude and topography. In less than 30 minutes, you will reach Lukla while enjoying the breathtaking views of the mountains during the flight. Overnight stay at a guesthouse in Lukla.
Day 3: Trek to Thaksingdingma (3,500m)
You will be ascending gradually passing through the jungle. It is strange to know that there is no human arrangement on the trail to Thaksingdingma. You will reach your destination of Thaksingdingma (3,500m) for Camping. Overnight stay at a tented camp.
Day 4: Trek to Thagnak
Thagnak is not an easy trek as you have to prepare for walking all day throughout the side of the mountain and the trail that leads to Thagnak is a bit narrow. The areas of the tropical forest on the trail turn out to be thinner as you climb close to the snow line. Overnight stay at a tented camp at Thagnak.
Day 5: Rest day in Thagnak
The next day you will spend at Thagnak, resting and acclimatizing to the conditions. However, do not worry about getting bored as it is significant to spend an extra day at Thagnak. This is a terrific location bounded by different stunning peaks including Peak 43(6769m). It is valuable to explore near for the purpose of acclimatization. Thagnak is the base for climbing the east and northeast sides of Kusum Kanguru. Overnight stay at a tented camp
Day 6: Trek to Khahare (5,099m)
Prayer in Monastery
You will travel across the lateral moraine of Dig Glacier to Dig Khraka which provides stunning views of Glaciers and afterward you are going to climb a more abrupt trail to Khahare ( 5,099m). Overnight stay at a guest house.
Day 7: Trek to Base Camp (5300m)
For the trek to Base Camp (5300m), you are going to climb for minimum of three hours. Then, you will reach your destination at Mera-La (5415m). Usually, that pass will be enclosed with snow from November to April. Again the views from the pass are impressive. You will move down about 100m on the way to the Hogu Side and prepare for the Base Camp (5300), below the ice.
Day 8: Acclimatization
This day will be as your rest day for acclimatization. You can further explore around or climb up for a few hours and again you have to come back to the Base Camp for the night. Overnight stay at a tented camp.
Day 9: Trek to High Camp
After completing a day of rest and acclimatization, the next day we will be trekking to the High Camp. After about four hours of trek, we will reach the High Camp. Overnight stay at tented camp.
Day 10: Trek to Summit
We start our trek early the next and reach the summit after a few hours of trek. The views of Pumori(7161m), Lhotse (8516m) Makalu (8463m), Lobuche (6145m), Cho Oyu ( 8201m) are spectacular from the top. These are the most fantastic view that you can see from the summit. Again after the trek, we will go back over to Base Camp.
Day 11 – 16: Trek to Mera Peak Base Camp – Lukla
Between the 11th to 16th days of the itinerary, you will spend your time scaling the Mera Peak Base Camp. After exploring everything again you have to return from Mera Peak Base Camp to Lukla. The beauty and amazing view that you will get to know in Mera Peak Base Camp is marvellous and you will remember it throughout your entire life. Mera Peak Base Camp- Lukla. We follow the same route and come back to Lukla. Overnight stay at a guest house.
Day 17: Fly back to Kathmandu

Incredible trip! My wife and I came from the states to join Mohan and a bunch of wonderful Irish people on an island peak expedition. This was our first exposure to trekking in Nepal and technical mountaineering in general. We are rock climbers and hikers, but we trained extra hard the few months before the trip to develop good fitness and strong legs for long walks uphill. We met Mohan briefly while visiting Ireland a year earlier and felt instantly that we could trust him. Mohan is extremely experienced with trekking in the Himalayas (18yrs I think). He has connections every step of the way from hotels in Kathmandu, to flights to lukla, and in even in tea houses all along the route. This allows him to offer his clients fantastic service at a great price. Nice accommodations and food the whole time - everything is included in the cost up front so the only thing we had to think about was water which we just treated with chlorine tabs. Mohan gives great guidance to help avoid getting sick either from altitude or food. He demands good hygiene from kitchen staff and always sends his Sherpas into the kitchen to help and make sure our food is clean. The whole experience felt like a private trip with friends and not commercially organized. And really that's what it is - no middle man. Mohan genuinely cares about his clients and you will quickly become his friend. He will do everything he can to keep you healthy and acclimatized so you can have the best shot possible at meeting your goal. You won't have to worry about being confused the whole time - he keeps you well informed and is always checking to make sure you are doing well. He even coordinates with a guy in Kathmandu so they can make changes for summit attempts based on weather. Because he did this, we ended up summiting a day earlier than planned which made all the difference - I think nearly everyone failed the day before and the day after us due to snowfall, but we had 5 out of 8 summit in our group thanks to Mohan's leadership. Also if you do island peak - he won't make you walk from base camp to Chukkung after a 12-15 hr summit push, we met several people who after making it back to base camp still had a few hours of walking to get to a lodge and we really felt for them. His Sherpa staff is awesome and Mohan ensures they are well taken care of in addition to the porters/yaks. These Sherpas have more than adequate experience and are some of the kindest people you will ever meet. They even threw me a birthday party with a homemade cake along the way. They are fun, happy, and incredibly humble - always working hard to support their families. They deserve a good tip when the trip is over. Whatever you're looking for in a trek/climb - Mohan is your man. He'll work with you to make it happen. He is a friend for life now and I seriously recommend his guide services. Namaste!Todd B
Experience of a lifetime!"
I am a professor at George Mason University. Namaste Nomad arranged our study abroad trip to Nepal (Conservation Storytelling). We had used another company the year before and have spent many years in Nepal. This company out performs anyone else in Nepal and anywhere globally. Mohan (the CEO) is extraordinarily knowledgable and works very hard to make sure everything is exactly as you need. The people that work for him are the absolute best available in country. Our guide had led multiple tours up Everest and I 100% trusted him with our lives. Our drivers were the same. In addition, Mohan cares very much about the world, the environment and the ability to share cultures and beliefs. And this is how his company is run. With responsibility and heart.JennLewDC
Great for Student Learning Trip!"
What a great trip! This trip lets you see a different side to Northern Spain and the Camino. We had a super time trekking in the Picos de Europe with an amazing bunch of people. The groups are small group so it was flexible and there was no issue with tailoring days to what people needed or required. All ages groups, singles, couples but most of all at the end great friends! Accommodation and meals for each night had been thoughtfully located and selected! Food was amazing! This trip has to be experienced and enjoyed by everyone!caite1
Picos De Europe"
I travelled with a group from Ireland to Nepal where we started our joureny to Everest Basecamp. This trek was very special to me as I was doing it for charity in memory of my late brother who was a keen hillwalker. Our group was made up of 9 people from Ireland, Scotland and USA. Such a fantastic group it turned out to be. We all supported each other and made new friends, having alot of fun along the way. Oh From start to finish Mohan our leader, did everything in his power to ensure that our trek was 100% successful. The trip was very challenging but very rewarding. He supported us all even when we were struggling and was there at our beck and call at all times. I would like to give a special mention to the 3 sherpas who accompanied us during our trek, Tshering, Pimba and Paldene. Such fantastic support to all of us and true gentlemen. I would highly recommend this group for anybody contemplating a similar experience.Kieran McCli to k
Trek to Everest Basecamp 20th September 2019"
What can I say about Namaste Nomads, just Excellent. From start to finish, everyone that we dealt with were helpful, professional, caring and accommodating in what we wanted for our adventure. Itinerary changes were no problems. The advice we were given before we flew out to Kathmandu and all through the trek were invaluble in making the trek a success. We were picked up at the airport and taken to our hotel and met by Ashim who checked us in and explained about the rest of the trip. We met our guide Dawa (5 times Everest summitier). So much experience from all the Namaste Nomad staff. The trek was fantastic and Dawa (guide) and Sudip (sherpa) looked after us throughout. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Their advise from what to eat and how to cope with the altitude was invaluble. The porters who carried our bags were efficient and our bags were always at the lodge well before we arrived. When we got to EBC a change to the itinerary was discussed with us. Dawa suggested we climb Kala Patthar that afternoon and see the sunset over Everest rather than seeing the sunrise early in the morning. What a brilliant suggestion as we saw Everest on fire. If you want to do trek in Nepal then check these people out. I would not hesitate to go with them again. Already planning a trip in 2020 with them.Kaushal
Everest Base Camp Trek"
My husband and I found out about Namaste Nomad while on a hike in Ireland the year before. We stayed in connect with Mohan and planned going on the Island Peak trek. Being in the USA, all our communication was by email and Mohan answered all of our questions so we felt ready when we flew to Nepal. The trek was incredible. No stress. Mohan dealt with accommodations in Kathmandu and in the Everest Circuit, food the entire trek, flights to and from Lukla, and taxis from the airport. He gave great advice on the hike up, like avoiding dairy and meat and keeping a constant steady pace, so we didn't get sick or hurt before summit day. He was concerned about our well being and wanted us to make it to the summit and be happy as much as we wanted to. His sherpas were incredible men. Humble, sweet, and considerate. You can trust your guides and you will make a great friend at the same time.Jame B
Island Peak April 2018 Nepal Trekking"
Himalayas, they are beautiful, intimidating and challenging. You might think they are perhaps to hard for you? Well, they are hard, but in our everyday life we are often very comfortable. We need to be challenged from time to time to remind ourselves that we are more than our houses, jobs and what others think of us. I needed that break and challenge two years ago. I joined Mohan and his team on the journey to Everest Basecamp. And lets get the boring (but important) stuff out the way. The team is as professional as it gets. We had the nicest food, best accommodation and best guides. Mohan created atmosphere of community and support. I often looked at other groups (that probably payed 2 or 3 times as we did), and they did not had the service and the fun that we did. But apart from all of the pragmatic stuff, they are the Himalayas themselves. My choice was to abandon the internet altogether (its there if you need it) and enjoy being there. For two weeks, the world forgot about me as i forgot about it. All i cared about was walking. It was like a meditation, an it was simple. Just one foot after another until we reached the destination. Mohan does expeditions the way they should be done. He cares about your spirit, what you eat, what you drink, how you sleep. He knows that those things will get you there and help you with the altitude. His team is supportive, and very experienced. I will be a repeat customer one day, and not once.Jarek M
Everest Basecamp 2016"
This was the second trip I booked with Namaste Nomad. The first was hiking to Everest Base Camp which was a phenomenal trip! I placed a deposit on Bhutan before I left Nepal due to the shear genuineness of Mohan. He is very thorough in ensuring a safe and successful trip. In Bhutan he was open to group needs and used this information to organize alternative to the original plans. The group I was with had great communication between so that we could make choices that benefitted all of us. If you are thinking of traveling abroad and you love realism in your travels this is the company to book with. You will get the chance to see everyday life in your travels vs sitting on a tour bus skipping the realities of life outside.N2tele
