The trail to Mera peak comes across varieties of flora and fauna.

You also get to see many Sherpa villages, lush forests, suspension bridges, monasteries, and ancient Gompas. There is a stunning view of Mt Kanchenjunga, Mt Everest, Lhotse, Cho Oyu, and Makalu from its summit.
Mera Peak’s climbing path combines mountaineering and trekking to reach the summit. The climb begins at the village of Lukla, and the ascent to the top calls for some fundamental mountaineering abilities, such as the use of ropes, crampons, and ice axes. Although the climb is not technically difficult, it does call for a high level of physical preparedness and acclimatization due to the summit’s elevation of 6,476 meters (21,247 feet).
Mera Peak Climbing is not as technical or challenging as other peaks in Nepal. It is quite straightforward, still, the altitude and temperature can be a major problem. It is essential to complete some basic mountaineering training and have prior high-altitude trekking experience as part of your preparation. Additionally, it’s crucial to have the right clothing and equipment, such as thermal layers, waterproof outerwear, and high-altitude gear.
