What's this trip about?

Experience the ascent to the highest trekking peak in Nepal with Mera peak climbing in. Mera Peak climbing takes you to the summit of Mera Peak standing tall at 6476 m. Mera peak is one of the most sought-after mountaineering peaks in Nepal. The Mera peak expedition begins from Kathmandu followed by a brief flight to Lukla. From Lukla, we head upwards through beautiful hills and valleys to reach the cold mountain region. Lying arduously on the edge of the Khumbu region, Mera Peak Climbing in Nepal is also an excellent opportunity to experience trekking in the Himalayan region of Nepal. It involves a culturally stimulating venture through remote picturesque villages and lush forests - followed by summiting the majestic Mera peak. The Mera peak climbing comes at the end of week-long trekking and this expedition is not necessarily technically difficult, but the altitude makes this an exciting and challenging trip. The trail for the Mera peak expedition trip ranges from moderate to difficult thus; one must be physically fit in order to go for this trip. With the increase in altitude, the risks of altitude sickness also rises. People with respiratory problems must consult their doctor before heading out on this trek. With an adequate time of acclimatization and proper hydration altitude sickness will be less of a problem. Mera Peak climbing is an amazing option for anyone with less or moderate mountaineering experience. This trek is challenging but the technical mountaineering skill required is very basic. Experience the thrill of climbing the highest trekking peak of Nepal with the Mera peak climbing package. Remember Swotah Travel for your trekking companion!
