Mera Peak Climbing – 19 Days

Mera Peak (6,461m/21,190 ft), which can be climbed in 19 days, is regarded as the most impressive and tallest trekking peak in Nepal's Khumbu (Everest) region and is becoming increasingly famous among trekkers and climbers worldwide.

One of the proudest moments in the lives of the fearless hikers is when they successfully attempt to climb Mera. You can see the mighty and incredible ornamentation of the 8000-meter Mountains, including Everest, Kanchenjunga, Makalu, Lhotse, Cho-Oyu, and several other opposite peaks, from the horizontal viewpoint you set up not too far from the summit of the Mera Peak. After traveling for 40–45 minutes to the mountain airfield of Lukla, Mera Peak emerges (a standout amongst the most hazardous airstrips on the planet). At that point, we begin our ascent through the rhododendron, pine, and bamboo forest, following a longer, less traveled path that continues through the magnificent scenery of them all the way to Mera Peak.
