Whether you are a seasoned mountaineer or an avid trekker aiming for high-altitude adventure, this expedition promises unforgettable memories and a test of both physical and mental endurance.

    Are you ready to push your limits and stand atop one of Nepal's most iconic trekking peaks? Holiday Tours Nepal invites you to join our Mera Peak Climbing from Khare expedition—an adventure that combines stunning Himalayan vistas, moderate technical climbing, and authentic Sherpa culture. At an altitude of 6,476 m, Mera Peak North is the highest trekking peak in Nepal, while Mera Central reaches 6,461 m. Whether you aim for the steep final 20 m of the North summit or the slightly gentler Central peak, this journey promises an unforgettable lifetime achievement.

    Summits of Mera Peak: North vs Central

    Nepal Mountaineering Association classifies Mera Peak into two main summits:

     Mera Peak Central (6,461 m)

    • Often attempted by larger groups and beginner climbers 
    • Less technical on the final section, though still requires crampon and ice‐axe skills 

     Mera Peak North (6,476 m)

    • Officially the "Mera Peak summit" and the highest trekking peak in Nepal 
    • The final 20 m are very steep, with fixed ropes installed by our guides 
    • Rewards you with the ultimate panoramic view of Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, and Kanchenjunga

     Most climbers opt for the Central summit to gain confidence before tackling North on a future expedition. Whether you choose Central or North, our experienced climbing guides ensure safety, rope fixing, and one‐on‐one support during the steepest sections.

    How to prepare for Mera Peak?

    Physical & Mental Training

    Before embarking on your journey, a well-rounded training program is key to success:

    • Cardiovascular Conditioning: Engage in activities such as running, cycling, or swimming at least three times a week to enhance your endurance.
    • Strength Training: Incorporate exercises that strengthen your legs, core, and upper body. Stair climbing, weighted squats, and resistance training are excellent options for building strength and endurance.
    • Endurance Hikes: Practice trekking on varied terrains with an increasing load in your backpack. This helps simulate the physical demands of a high-altitude trek.
    • Acclimatization Sessions: Spend time at moderately high altitudes before your climb to help your body adjust to the altitude. Gradual exposure helps your body adapt to reduced oxygen levels.
    • Mental Preparation: Practice mindfulness and stress management techniques to build resilience for the inevitable challenges on the mountain.

    Why It Matters 

    Both beginners and experienced trekkers benefit from a focused pre-climb training session. Arriving in Khare at least one day before your summit push allows you to:

    • Acclimatize Properly: Adapt your body to high altitudes and reduce the risk of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS).
    • Hands‐On Gear Training: Learn the correct usage of ropes, ice axes, crampons, and harnesses in real glacial conditions.
    • Glacier Navigation: Practice safe footwork on crevasses and moraine slopes under guide supervision.

    Altitude Sickness and Remedies on Mera Peak Climbing from Khare

Knowing some altitude sickness symptoms will help you treat them promptly. Headache, loss of appetite, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and trouble sleeping are common symptoms. According to local opinion, gargling with garlic or chewing ginger is considered the most effective treatment. Eat dry foods and drink as many fluids as you can. If there are no other choices, we advise using Diamox.

    Additionally, we provide knowledgeable guides and employees who are skilled in coping with the effects of higher elevations. They can take care of every client since they are locals of Nepal and are quick to adapt. They will provide basic first aid care and necessary medical supplies. We plan our ascending route to ensure our customers are prepared for high altitude, and we set up alternative routes for those who may be in danger.
