As such climbing, Mount Mera is an excellent option for anyone looking forward to high-altitude adventures with moderate or no mountaineering experience.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the grading, you have to be careful while planning to climb a mountain that is 6,476 meters high. Here are some things you should consider:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Trek to Khare<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typically, we will not encounter snow and ice up to Khare. If the trail is dry up to this point, it is straightforward, and only trekking poles and approach shoes are required. However, the wet conditions can turn slippery and difficult on steep sections. Prepare with good shoes, physical stamina on inclines, and the usual <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/honeyguideapps.com\/p\/trekking-in-nepal-checklist\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">gear required for trekking<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Altitude Illness<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other than the weather, altitude illness is the most common reason why plans to climb Mount Mera can go wrong. Although Mera requires little or no technical climbing on its regular route, it is still a very high mountain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As such, understand and learn to prevent AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness), HAPE (High Altitude Pulmonary Edema), and (HACE) High altitude Cerebral Edema. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/honeyguideapps.com\/p\/health-and-safety-while-trekking-in-nepal#altitude-illness-while-trekking-in-nepal\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read more about AMS.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Supplemental oxygen, while not required for most people, will always be available in our climbs. If you do not feel right, consider using bottled oxygen. Do not worry about the fact that others are not using it. Everybody reacts differently to the altitude.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5572\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5572\" style=\"width: 720px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5572\" src=\"https:\/\/blogsmedia.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/07004254\/179748237_301785801570282_7309388752587000659_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"408\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogsmedia.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/07004254\/179748237_301785801570282_7309388752587000659_n.jpg 720w, https:\/\/blogsmedia.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/07004254\/179748237_301785801570282_7309388752587000659_n-496x281.jpg 496w, https:\/\/blogsmedia.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/07004254\/179748237_301785801570282_7309388752587000659_n-200x112.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5572\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image Source: Refuge Mera Lodge<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Technical Skills<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The climb to Mera peak is straightforward. The central part of the climb involves walking in a glacier at a fair degree of steepness with the help of crampons and ice axes. The final section of the climb involves an ascent of snow dome at a 50-degree angle using ascender\/jumar on a fixed rope if the weather demands it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We will teach you all the technical skills you will need for Mera during the acclimatization day at Khare.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Physical Fitness and Training<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stamina is also a massive factor for a successful ascent. A physically fit person can easily do this trek with minimum chances of danger if appropriately planned with full acclimatization days. Consider doing a lot of cardio, hikes, and rock faces. If available, training in a hypobaric environment will also be of a lot of help.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_long_do_we_need_to_climb_Mount_Mera\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How long do we need to climb Mount Mera?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5574\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5574\" style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5574\" src=\"https:\/\/blogsmedia.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/07004359\/Mera-25.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogsmedia.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/07004359\/Mera-25.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/blogsmedia.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/07004359\/Mera-25-375x281.jpg 375w, https:\/\/blogsmedia.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/07004359\/Mera-25-675x506.jpg 675w, https:\/\/blogsmedia.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/07004359\/Mera-25-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogsmedia.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/07004359\/Mera-25-1536x1152.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5574\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image Source: Refuge Mera Lodge<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are quite a few itineraries for climbing Mount Mera. If one starts counting days after leaving Kathmandu, the shortest itinerary will take 12 days, while the longest will take 19 days. Needless to say, the 12-day itinerary will cause Acute Mountain Sickness in many people. This means that summit chances are pretty low in that itinerary unless, of course, everyone is well acclimatized through some other trek. We will tell you what we think is ideal for Mera, but before that, let us equip you with some nuance.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Given that Altitude Related Illnesses are the main factor why summit bids to Mera end in failure, a sensible approach is necessary. Some key points to consider are:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Limit daily ascent to 500 meters.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This ascent schedule is only for altitude above 2,500 meters. While this is not a hard and fast rule, sticking as close as possible to this ascent schedule will keep most people safe. Also, please note that the difference applies to the difference in sleep altitudes and not the highest point reached during the day.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Extra night every 1,000 meter<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In most established routes, after an ascent of 1,000 meters, climbers stay an extra night. For example, along the <a href=\"https:\/\/honeyguideapps.com\/treks\/everest-base-camp-trek.e72a26f22199.everest-region\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Everest Base Camp Trek<\/a>, there are two nights at <a href=\"https:\/\/honeyguideapps.com\/namche-bazaar.d840302e4958.everest-region\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Namche<\/a> (3,440 meters) and two nights at <a href=\"https:\/\/honeyguideapps.com\/dingboche.d5d9b3e98fb3.everest-region\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dingboche<\/a> (4,340 m). Again this rule comes in handy when you are traveling over 2,500 meters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is also essential to undertake acclimatization hikes to a high altitude spot during the rest days.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Climb high, sleep low.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whenever possible, the route that goes through high altitude and then comes down to settle for the night at a safer altitude is the best one for acclimatization. This way, your body starts to adjust to the demands of high altitude, but by the time AMS can develop, you are already in a safe zone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This mantra of &#8216;Climb High, Sleep Low&#8217;

The answer is simple. People just don&#8217;t have the time for a 19-day trek. The magic number to increase demand is 15 days, and operators try to bring the number of days close to that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, we recommend you think through this and understand that a few extra days is nothing in the grand scheme of things. And if they can help you get the most out of your trek, we think it is worth it. Regardless of who you go with, make sure the itinerary has:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Acclimatization stops at Kothe (3,590m), Thagnak (4,275 m), and Khare (5,045 m).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A night at Mera Base Camp (5,300 m)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to these, talk to your operators to accommodate an extra night at Khare for weather issues. And then, of course, there is the issue with Lukla flights which you will have to factor in while planning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We apologize for taking so long to answer such a straightforward question. And we think it is clear to you by now that you should <\/span><b>plan for at least 20 days with Mount Mera<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alternately, what you can do is:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take a jeep to Phaplu (2,350 m) hence knocking off unpredictability associated with Lukla flights.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Walk via Chiwang Gompa to Taksindu (3,000 m)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take a heli to Kothe (3,590 m) and stay there two nights. Remember, helicopters are more predictable than flights.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Follow the usual route from there on with an extra night at Thagnak (4,275 m) and Khare (5,045 m).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This could be one way you can shave off a few days without compromising on safety. Even if you stay 3 nights at Khare, which we recommend, you can still climb in 17 days if you decide to go this way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is also worth noting that all operators use the services of the climbing team at Khare for the summit bid. No one carries their own equipment. Hence, it is possible to trek to Khare privately and then join one of the groups there.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_Attractions_around_Mount_Mera\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other Attractions around Mount Mera<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5616\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5616\" style=\"width: 1500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5616\" src=\"https:\/\/blogsmedia.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/07011914\/Mera-59.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1078\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogsmedia.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/07011914\/Mera-59.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/blogsmedia.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/07011914\/Mera-59-391x281.jpg 391w, https:\/\/blogsmedia.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/07011914\/Mera-59-704x506.jpg 704w, https:\/\/blogsmedia.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/07011914\/Mera-59-768x552.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5616\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image Source: Refuge Mera Lodge<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Skiing down Mera<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increasingly, Mount Mera has started attracting travelers who are interested in skiing there.

It is one of the prehistoric monasteries in Solukhumbu. It is highly appreciated by visitors because of its mesmerizing and unique external design. The monastery, surrounded by the tall pine trees, which are rarely found in Nepal, is believed to be brought from Darjeeling more than 200 years ago by its patrons. You will see this monastery if you take the Bung route via the eastern ridges of the Hinku River.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thangnak Gompa<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When we reach Thangnak during the Mount Mera trek, we will get a chance to explore Dukffuk Monastery. Dukffuk Monastery means &#8220;Dragon Cave Monastery&#8221; in Tibetan. Here we can see the dragon head symbol inside the monastery and the tail outside. According to Buddhist legend years back, that monastery deity statue was transferred from Kongmading. They stay in the cave overnight, then the next day, they can not carry that deity statue again. After that, nomads started to pray for the deity statue. Then local people built a monastery at that place. Here we can see the map of Mount Mera in natural stone.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5618\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5618\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5618\" src=\"https:\/\/blogsmedia.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/07012000\/Mera-28.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogsmedia.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/07012000\/Mera-28.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogsmedia.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/07012000\/Mera-28-375x281.jpg 375w, https:\/\/blogsmedia.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/07012000\/Mera-28-675x506.jpg 675w, https:\/\/blogsmedia.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/07012000\/Mera-28-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5618\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image Source: Refuge Mera Lodge<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tama Pokhari<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tama Pokhari is a glacial Lake located on the way to Khare while doing the Mount Mera trek.

You will need to spend numerous nights above 5000m, making it harder for trekkers without a high-altitude trek experience. While the peak doesn&#8217;t need technical climbing experience, having previous high altitude trek experience (5000m) is exceptionally beneficial for Mount Mera.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Physical Training<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mount Mera is not just about the 2-3 days climbing to the summit but also involves weeks-long trekking. However, every day you need to walk for 6 hrs. on average. Train yourself by going on a walk, hike, gym, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Be mentally prepared<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are not mentally prepared, all your hard work and training will go to waste. Be prepared to tackle severe weather, strenuous walks, cold and sleepless nights. When trekking in a remote area, always hope for the best and prepare for the worst.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5629\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5629\" style=\"width: 1992px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5629 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blogsmedia.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/07012819\/Mera-12.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1992\" height=\"1328\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogsmedia.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/07012819\/Mera-12.jpg 1992w, https:\/\/blogsmedia.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/07012819\/Mera-12-422x281.jpg 422w, https:\/\/blogsmedia.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/07012819\/Mera-12-759x506.jpg 759w, https:\/\/blogsmedia.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/07012819\/Mera-12-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogsmedia.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/07012819\/Mera-12-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1992px) 100vw, 1992px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5629\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">PC: Refuge Mera Lodge<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not plan too tight.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure you have extra days to accommodate flight delays, weather issues, and of course, a second summit bit if needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find a trusted guide and company.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Climbing over 6000m peak is an arduous task, and it requires more effort, arrangements, planning, and trusted guides. Despite having previous experience and training, many trekkers have not reached Mount Mera due to unqualified guides and improper arrangements. Go with a trusted and reputed company that has qualified guides and experience in leading these climbing adventures.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get the proper clothing and equipment.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proper clothing and equipment are essential to any high-altitude trip. Your whole trip could end miserably if you don&#8217;t have suitable clothing and gear. That is why every trekker needs complete climbing gear for Mount Mera, and it&#8217;s always advisable to get every gear checked and packed. Or you can rent it from Khare, which is the last teahouse spot before Mount Mera ascent.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do a climbing course before the summit.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before going for the summit push, do an introductory climbing course at Khare. Schedule one day to learn the techniques and skills required for the climb and acclimatization.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maintain personal health and hygiene<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mount Mera is a trek into the beautiful and remote Hinku valley; with little or no health post on the way, maintaining personal health and hygiene is very important. While we will have a first aid kit, make sure to carry some stuff for chaffing, blisters, and pre-existing medical conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mera_Peak_Permit_Cost\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mera Peak Permit Cost<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><b>Seasons<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p><b>Permit Cost<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spring (March, April, and May)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">USD.250 per person<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Autumn (September, October, and November)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">USD.125 per person<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Winter (December to February)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">USD.70 per person<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Summer (June &#8211; August)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">USD.70 per person<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For more detailed information about permit costs of different peaks, you can go through the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nepalmountaineering.org\/article-Fee%20Structure\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nepal Mountaineering Association<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> link.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><script charset=\"utf-8\" type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/js.hsforms.net\/forms\/shell.js\"><\/script> <script>\n  hbspt.forms.create({\n\tregion: \"na1\",\n\tportalId: \"19553634\",\n\tformId: \"f348184a-f0d4-4405-b447-9bda5edf4bdb\"\n});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mount Mera, also popularly known as Mera Peak, is one of the highest trekking peaks in Nepal.
