If you’re looking for a less technical climbing peak for beginners that offers breathtaking views of some of the world’s highest mountains without requiring extensive climbing experience, then Mera Peak (6476m) is an excellent choice and is popular among novice climbers. From the summit of Mera Peak, you can see a splendid view of Chamlang, Kangchenjunga, Makalu, and Baruntse in the east, Mt. Cho-Oyu, Ama Dablam, and Kangtega to the west. To the north, you can see Mt. Everest, Lhotse, and Nuptse, making it an unforgettable experience.

Compared to other trekking peaks, climbing Mera Peak is relatively less demanding. You only need basic equipment such as crampons, an Ice axe, and the main rope to reach the summit. Safety is a top priority, and all climbers are attached to a fixed rope near the summit.

There are two main routes to get to the Mera Valley. You can either fly to Lukla or Phaplu and then trek to the Mera base camp. If you choose the Lukla route, you’ll need to trek over the Chhatra-la pass, which involves a steep ascent. It’s advisable to use climbing equipment during late November and early March, and altitude sickness can be a concern.

On the other hand, the Phaplu route is less technically demanding and offers better opportunities to acclimatize. This Phaplu route goes through Taksindu-la (2930), Nunthala, Kharikhola, and Surke-la pass (3085). We also travel through the Five Holy Lakes (Panch Pokhari) and the Hinku Valley. In our opinion, this is the perfect way to approach the Mera Valley and Mera Peak.

Before summiting, climbers will spend a day in Thangnak and Khare to acclimatize and train in using their equipment. The base camp is at 5415m, and the high camp is at 5700m. After the summit, we’ll trek back to Lukla, passing over Chhatra-la on the final day.

Mera Peak Expeditions is an excellent choice for those looking for a beginner-friendly trekking peak with stunning views of some of the highest mountains in the world. With its less demanding climb and two route options, it’s a great way to experience the beauty of the Himalayas without requiring extensive climbing experience.
