Mera Peak, standing at 6,476 meters, is the highest trekking peak located along the border between the Everest and Makalu regions of Nepal. This peak is famed for offering breathtaking panoramic views of some of the world’s tallest mountains, including Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, and Cho Oyu. Mera Peak's extensive, snow-covered slopes make it an ideal destination for backcountry skiing enthusiasts. The terrain features long descents, open bowls, and gentle ridges, providing a variety of skiing experiences that cater to different skill levels. While skiing at Mera Peak is not technically demanding or steep, it presents a unique challenge due to the high altitude.

Situated in the Mahalangur section, Barun sub-section of the Himalayas, Mera Peak lies within the Sagarmatha Zone of the Solukhumbu District in Nepal. The peak is classified as a trekking peak, offering a rewarding journey through some of the most stunning parts of the Himalayas. The trek to Mera Peak traverses pristine valleys with awe-inspiring scenery, making the journey itself as memorable as the destination. Mera boasts three main summits: Mera North (6,476m), Mera Central (6,470m), and Mera South (6,065m), each providing spectacular views of Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, Kanchenjunga, and many other prominent summits ranging from 6,000 to 7,000 meters.

This expedition combines an introductory mountaineering experience with the thrill of high-altitude skiing, offering one of the most exhilarating adventure experiences available in the Himalayas. This exclusive program is tailored for experienced skiers seeking to explore the pristine slopes of the Himalayas without the commitment of a prolonged trek.

Condition: Technically, Mera Peak is a non-technical peak that anyone can climb if they have some knowledge of previous climbing. Although it’s easy, you must have your own climbing gear that you are used to before, especially alpine or plastic boots, crampons, and harnesses which should fit you.
