Since Mera Peak is below 6500m, it requires a brief acclimatization period. The Mera Peak Trek is sufficient for acclimatization, and by the time you reach the base camp, you will be ready for the climb.
We travel as a group with a team of porters take the kit to the lodges and set up the camps on the mountain. There is a base camp and a high camp; it's possible to summit from base camp but we normally try to put in a camp on the snow.
The climbing starts with the classic and spectacular mountain flight to Lukla. Following that is 11 days trek to the climbing camp through the stunning Hinku valley. From Lukla, we will follow the Dudh Khosi then we will reach the Panggom La (3286m) by walking from village to village. From pine and rhododendron forests we will pass through the wild Hinku valley to reach Mera Peak.
