Valerie

Excellent Climbing Trip

24-Jan-2020

Mera Peak climb offers the best view of the Mt Everest and other mountains around. Till Khare, the trek moves along the valleys. After Base Camp, mountaineering boots and crampons are must. Though it is quite hard from there on, the scene of huge mountains around will refresh anyone. On good days, we can see even Kanchenjunga on the distance. Basic climbing training is done at Khare Camp.

Mera Peak Climbing not an easy but very rewarding climb. What we liked most about the trip was the diverse environment from lush rainforest to high altitude glaciers; remote villages, monasteries; and a feel of a Himalayan expedition.

A fantastic cultural experience with degree of physical challenges. Mera Peak Climbing is for the beginner’s climbers. It’s tough and adventurous. But if provided with the best climbing guides its doneable.
