Mera Peak Climbing is a trek to the Mera Base Camp followed by a climb to the Mera Peak at an elevation of 6,476 meters (21,247 feet) above sea level. Mera Peak is Nepal’s highest trekking peak and a popular choice for adventure seekers looking to experience Himalayan climbing without extensive technical training. Situated in the Everest region, the climb rewards trekkers with breathtaking panoramic views of Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, and Cho Oyu. Mera peak is a technically straightforward climb, but it is still challenging due to the high altitude and harsh weather conditions.
On arrival at Tribhuwan International Airport, a representative from Eve Holidays will greet you at the airport and escort you to your hotel. You’ll have rest of the day at leisure.

Eve Holidays made my Mera Peak Climbing experience seamless and unforgettable! From expert guides and a well-planned itinerary to top-notch safety measures, everything was perfect. The Sherpa team was outstanding, ensuring our success while keeping us motivated. Acclimatization days, pre-climb training, and great logistics made the journey smooth. Reaching the 6,476m summit with breathtaking views of Everest, Lhotse, and Makalu was a dream come true!
I recently booked this trip with them and the overall service was excellent. Me and my friend really enjoyed the trip and the thrilling climb.
