Useful Info
Mera Peak Climbing difficulty
As per the mountain standard, the Mera Peak is graded as Alpine PD. It means Mera Peak Climbing is slightly difficult, and there can be a few technical sections. After landing at Lukla, you will be crossing the Zatrwa La pass (4,600 m) in the next two days. It is the shortest and most used route to Mera Peak, however, it exposes climbers to a high altitude without proper chance of acclimatization.
Therefore, we will take rest days after crossing the pass and allow our bodies to adjust to the altitude. The route to the summit of Mera Peak goes through the Mera Glacier, which consists of snow and ice slopes up to 40 degrees. The changes in the climate have also affected the Mera Glacier, so depending upon the situation, the climbers may have to belay and involve rappelling while descending.
We will spend a night at Mera Base Camp and ascend to Mera High Camp to avoid AMS. From the high camp, it is 661 meters ascent to the summit. It will take around 4 to 5 hours as per your climbing speed. We will begin climbing around 2 AM to return before noon. The winds get strong at noon.
The summit push is straightforward, and the final few steps include 30 meters ascent at a 50-degree snow dome. You have to use an ascender and fixed rope.
Recommended Boots for your Climb
Needed Fitness Level:
To reach the summit of Mera Peak, you have to be physically and mentally fit. Even if you exercise regularly does not mean your conditioning is fit to climb Mera Peak. You have to be able to walk 5 to 6 hours a day with a day pack on.
Likewise, you will come across many hurdles during the Mera Peak Climbing, therefore not giving-up mindset is significant to keep yourself moving. You should have great stamina and endurance.
As per professional climbers, you do not have to be experienced in climbing mountains to scale Mera Peak. Beginner climbers can approach Mera Peak as their introductory mountain climbing in the Himalayas. However, you have to be experienced in trekking.
Acclimatization and Altitude Sickness
Begin a high-altitude venture, Mera Peak Climbing involves risks of acute mountain sickness (AMS). It is also known as altitude sickness. AMS is not something you should take lightly. If the symptoms get worse, altitude sickness can progress to a severe form of AMS and can become life-threatening.
Symptoms of altitude sickness
nausea and vomiting
dizziness
loss of appetite and insomnia
difficulty in breathing
headache
Our Mera Peak Climbing itinerary has adequate acclimatization days that will keep you away from the AMS. Likewise, our trained team leader will help you subside the initial symptoms if you get any. We will try our best to make sure no member of the group faces altitude sickness during Mera Peak Climbing, but we cannot guarantee it even for active trekkers.
Preventive measures of altitude sickness
Everybody is different and reacts to changes in elevation differently. If you feel any uneasiness during the peak climbing, inform the team leader and follow his instructions.
Do not rush if you see any above symptoms. Descend to a lower altitude and send some time unless the symptoms go away.
Eat balanced and drink a lot of fluids. Keep yourself hydrated.
Stay away from alcoholic drinks or smoking as it dehydrates the body.
Pre Training Before Climb
You have to begin training 3 to 4 months before the beginning of the journey. Cardiovascular and flexibility training is also recommended. Go on hikes and do treks if possible to keep maintain your stamina. You can also frequently do cycling, swimming, or running.
Cardiovascular fitness is not enough for Mera Peak Climbing. As you have to ascend thousands of feet on continuous days carrying a day pack (20 lbs), you have to prioritize strength training and include climbing conditions in the routine.
Do not rush or cut off the training period. It may risk your life during the actual journey. Even though climbing Mera Peak is considered easy, the environmental condition you will be in is way beyond ordinary human capabilities.
Try replicating the condition you will face during the Mera Peak Climbing with hiking boots, a daypack, and a long-distance walk on rugged terrain. Getting your gear early, especially your trekking boots, and getting used to it is crucial. You will not want new, uncomfortable boots on those rugged trails. Make sure to have a finger's width of space between your toes and boot.
Mera Peak Climbing Solo/Private/Group
Climbing Mera Peak Solo with us means getting accompanied by an experienced guide and porters. As you will not ascend in a group, you can take your time and walk at your pace. Climbing solo does not mean climbing independently. We never recommend it.
Similarly, you can join our fixed group departures for Mera Peak climbing or climb the peak with your own group. For group discount, please contact us anytime.

I have a great Journey with Scenic Nepal Treks
This trip had been 4 years in the making. had actually gotten to know Rajan and Dipendra through a friend's friend recommendation.
I can only say that they are so patient with me over the years (yes years!) in the multiple failed attempts that I had to get myself to Nepal. Well, this year, it finally came true and with the trusty hands of Dipendra and my absolutely wonderful guide KK, I had the most amazing trip of my life! Dipendra made sure that anything and everything will go well, from the airport pick-ups to the hotel accommodation to the arrangements to be made during the trek. He was able and very willing to help me with my numerous changes along the way and I knew that all I needed was to ask and he will help me fulfill my requests.
And then there is KK, my super guide. Right from day 1, he gave me the assurance and the feeling that I will be very well taken care of and he definitely did. Way above my expectations. When I just mentioned to him that I think I need a porter halfway while trekking, he found me one in 30 minutes! How amazing was that! KK always made sure that he's either walking beside me or behind me to make sure that I am ok all the way, even if I was slow, he very patiently waited for me.
And then there's the trek. The most amazing country, landscapes, and people. I've run out of words to explain but this is definitely a must-do for all travelers and of all ages.
Thank you Scenic Nepal. Especially Dipendra, KK, and Rajan. You guys are amazing!

They will certainly not let you down
Nepal is well known as a paradise for Hikers, a pilgrimage in a lifetime is the dream of everyone who loves hiking. Nepal is not only beautiful, it is also a place of world culture (hundreds of years old building architecture and temples) and natural heritage (Mt Everest). The trekking routes and the scenery shocking each of us during our EBC (Everest Base Camp) trek. The scenery on the snowy mountain is really not what I can describe. Only If you experience it yourself, so you can truly understand the shock and beauty. For every few hours trekking on the mountain, there is a village. These villages have guesthouses/teahouses that provided food and drinks. Want to have some snacks, western bread or a good cup of coffee, it is not difficult to find in some places such as Namche. We have worry-free to get connected with the outside world as almost the teahouse provide us WiFi with a reasonable charge.
Thanks to our agent Mr. Dipendra from Scenic Nepal Treks. who is very kind to bring us to shop around & introduced the good food and good place for chill out so as to show us the way to every tourist spot in Kathmandu. Also thank you so much to Mr. Kumar, our guide, he observed our physical condition all the way up to EBC and gave due counseling. Thanks, Kumar for his caring, especially from Lobuche to Gorekshep. When my mountain sickness occurred, my feet were unable to move. He patiently led me to Gorekshep, which is more than 5,000 meters. Not forgetting our porters too, they can easily carry a full load of 30 kilograms duffel bags following us through the journey. They also helped our guide, Mr. Kumar, to pay attention to our situation at times.
Anyone who wants to realize their Nepal trekking dream, I strongly recommend Scenic Nepal Treks, look for Mr. Dipendra, he will certainly not let you down.

Best designed trip ever
Everest base camp trek has to be on every trekker's bucket list. I got to experience this during October 2019. I did the Everest Base Camp trek with Scenic Nepal Trek solo and had an overall good experience. Everything is organized for you by Scenic Nepal Trek from transport to permits to accommodation etc. My guide KK was very friendly, knowledgeable, organized, helpful, and patient. I had my itinerary changed a bit during the trek (due to no accommodation in a certain village, better acclimatization plan, etc) but this is to the benefit of myself.
I was walking very slow after 4500m so thank you for the patience :) I had a bit of altitude sickness coming down from Everest base camp and was taken care of by a guide without any issues! We also played lots of cards during downtime during our trek. Also thanks to Dipendra very friendly and helped answer lots of my question prior to my trek and very organized and helpful

Unique experience with very kind and professional guides!
we (2 girls) had the most amazing time during our trek! having both spent some time in the alps, it was our first time in Nepal and we were stunned by the beauty of the nature and atmosphere. The trek was very well organized and we felt safe and taken care of all the time, as Kumar and the other guides did everything to make it a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Dipendra, the owner, takes care of every detail - even beyond the tour itself and we were impressed by his kindness and professional attitude.

Their utmost humble personality is to be applauded. I will never forget the warmth and sincerity received from the services.

Our beloved guide Krishna and Jagat, porter Bimal really take good care of our teams in all aspects. They really input us into Nepalese culture and make us feels local to adapt with. No doubt, if there are chances definitely will attach with Scenic Nepal as our next and futures trekking trip again!
From deep in my heart, I would really appreciate and thank Mr. Dipendra for all these arrangements! Well done and keep it up with your teams!

One of the Most Rewarding Experience of My Life
I recently did the 14 day Everest base camp trek in July 2018 with my friend. Everything ran super smooth from the moment we were picked up from the airport to when it was time to say our goodbyes. Our guide was Rajan who spoke English really well and understood everything we asked of him. He was compassionate and knowledgeable as well as friendly. Our Porter was KK, he was always smiling even though we were certain our bags were no light load and his English was exceptional also. Finally, Dipendra organized not only our EBC trek but also organized a 6-day motorbike tour for us after our trek at a great price.
As far as the trek was concerned all I can say is this is a MUST DO bucket list item. The food was authentic and plentiful, the scenery was beautiful and constantly changing and the accommodation was comfortable and cozy. I have found my new favorite country!

One of my best Vacation, Everest Base Camp Trek
had the pleasure of being a part of an Everest Base Camp expedition with Scenic Nepal!
Right from the moment, we landed in Kathmandu, Scenic Nepal was there to meet us and make sure everything was smooth.
Kumar, Shankar, and Jagat were the best guides we could have asked for! Their professionalism, knowledge, and experience were second to none! They were all so supportive and helpful throughout the entire trip, especially when times got tough!
I would highly recommend trekking with Scenic Nepal and look forward to going back to Nepal in the future!

Good trek! Our guides were knowledgeable & helpful. Rajan knew what I needed when I felt under the weather.
Furthermore, Dipen was polite and prompt in responding to our queries. I especially appreciated him coming to Singapore to brief us about the trek & answer questions we had before we embarked on our journey to Nepal.

No One Bettter Than Scenic Nepal Trek
The trip is an experience I will never forget and recommend everyone do. Incredible views, gorgeous people, beautiful mountains and rivers. Our guide Rajan and our porter Rajan were incredible and it felt like a family in the mountains rather than a tour. I am forever thankful for the memories of sharing hot tea in the tearooms or biscuits overlooking the most unbelievable views. Even when the altitude sickness started to effect myself our guide Rajan certainly knew what he was doing and had all the appropriate equipment for the situation. The Himalaya's are no doubt beautiful and there is no way you could compare the experience of trekking on the land through monstrous giants. The people are so genuine and the trip felt so wholesome, the best experience I have ever had whilst traveling.
Yes, it is 100% possible to go trekking in winter. It is cold but not unbearable if you have the right equipment, the sleeping bags provided were amazingingly toasty. In fact walking through the snow was breathtaking and I couldn't have hoped for it any other way.
Thank you Dipendra for you patience with my endless questions, for taking care of my concerns and making me feel so welcomed in Nepal. Rajan for looking after me in the mountains and making us feel like family. Very grateful and wouldn't recommend this tour company enough. I will definitely be coming back one day!
