The trekking up to the base camp of Mera Peak is an adventurous journey; after all, you are trekking to see the tallest trekking peak in Nepal.

Since you will be reaching the summit of Mera Peak, the view from there is like the bird’s eye view. You will also see the mountains in all directions, east, west, north, and south. What can be more rewarding than this to a trekker and climber?

Therefore, Mera Peak Trekking is on the list if you want to do such trekking in a lonely place in Nepal. What do you need the most for climbing Mera Peak? Besides good logistics, you must be physically fit. The itinerary of Mera Peak Climbing or the itinerary of Mera Trek has the same starting point as that of the Everest Base Camp Trek.
