Details Itinerary

Day 01: Arrival in Kathmandu 1350m
Our representative will pick up you at Airport & transfer to 3* hotel. The evening will be highlighted by a traditional Nepali cuisine as a perfect end of your very arrival day in the Himalayan Kingdom of Nepal.
Day 02: F light Kathmandu to Lukla (2800m) Trek to Paiya (2796m) walk 4-5 hrs.
Flight to Lukla where the airstrip at Lukla was built by Sir Edmund Hillary and his team, Our Mera Expedition route to the south is a welcome escape from the crowded trail to traditional Everest Base Camp. After having lunch at Surkhe you will pass through many traditional villages to reach to the vicinity of Paiya for our first night camp.
Day 03: Trek to Pangkogm (2846m) walk approx. 06 hrs)
After a short walk from Phuiyan our trail breaks away, leaving the main route to Namche Bazzar and head east into the mountains, following the old trading route linking the Everest region to the Arun valley.
Day 04: Trek to Najing Dingma (2690m) walk approx. 06 hrs)
In the cool of the morning we head up towards the Pangkongma La pass (3140m) behind the village, marked by some very ancient looking Chortens. Once we entered the Hinku valley, immediately there is a feel of unspoilt remoteness.
Day 05: Trek to Cholem (3440m) trek approx. 05,06 hrs)
The forests continue as we ascend, now mainly rhododendron. From the Surkie La (3,085m) we head north along the ridge, and the whole of eastern Nepal opens out in front of us, over the wildly remote Hunku valley.
Day 06: Trek to Khola Kharka (4130m) walk approx. 06 hrs)
From here up the ridge is cragged with lichen rocks and heathers, and we wind our way up over several rises. The ridge narrows as dramatic gullies drop away steeply on either side. Over a final crest (4,330m) we reach the unexpected suspended ledge of the lakes of Panch Pokhari - five lakes, the sacred number.
Day 07: Trek to Kothe (3490m) walk approx. 06 hrs
An excellent trekking day, walk through the dwarf juniper; rhododendron and lovely mixed firs will add the beauty in your trip. Enjoy the great view of Mera and Hinku valley before we descend steeply to the phenomenal cascading junction of two mountain torrents, crashing down through tall pine forests all around our lunch site.
Day 08: Trek to Thaknang (4140m) walk approx. 5- 6 hrs)
The forest gives way to open valley again by mid-morning, revealing the peaks which line either side. A small Buddhist monastery in the rock wall above the path contains some unexpectedly fine Buddha statues within. The valley swings eastward into a new array of peaks and the route up toward the Mera glacier comes into view.
Day 09: Acclimatization Day
This acclimatisation day is very important and useful for boosting your adaptation to the altitude by gaining as much height as we can during the day but returning to Thaknag for the night.
Day 10: Trek to Khare (4940m), walk approx. 4-5 hrs)
This morning’s walk up alongside the Dig glacier is easy and relaxed. This is an excellent valley opening out views to the north of the Hinku Nup glacier and the line of peaks beyond. Behind us is the dramatic spire of the less than romantically named ‘Peak 35’, which has yet to be climbed.
Day 11: Acclimatization day & training.
Today we gain more valuable acclimatisation and pick up some stunning views as well. Following the lateral moraine of the Hinku Nup glacier into an arena of peaks and glacial lakes, we turn to ascend a grassy ridge that rises back to the south. Ascending the steep edge of the glacier is an ideal to practice crampon use and ice axe technique, and to get the feel of ascending on a fixed rope. On top we find a suitable area with a safe run-out to learn self-arrest, the single most important skill of alpine mountaineering, even if little needed on the safe slopes of Mera.
Day 12: Trek to High Camp. Walk approx. 5-6 hrs
We return to the glacier, and this time follow it round in a wide arc, keeping close under the northern flank where there are no crevasses. The last section is almost level and Mera La (5,410m) itself is a rounded snow col that bridges south to the main sweep of the Mera glacier coming down from the peak itself.
Day 13: Summit the Mera Peak and back to Khare. Walk approx. 08 hrs
This is the most important and toughest day in any mountaineering trip as you will be awakened before the dawn with the high esteem to summit the peak. After the steaming hot tea and a quick break, we continue all roped up through the main glacier then crossing back to the south side we approach the snow humpback ridge. The first shafts of the sun hit the big peaks behind us and are soon on our own slopes, an amazing horizontal red glow. The route is still non-technical; 30º slopes, one foot in front of the other, count the steps and take a breather.
Day 14: Trek to Kote, walk approx. 06 hrs
We retrace our trail back to Kote and camp by the river after this life long journey to Mera Peak and enjoy the celebration party.
Day 15: Trek to Chhatrala (Thulikharka), (4190m) walk approx 06 hrs
We follow another new route back to Lukla that stays high on the open hillsides west of the Hinku River, rather than winding through the previous one. This makes for a quicker return with some fantastic views back of Mera herself from a completely different angle.
Day 16: Trek to Lukla walk approx. 07 hrs
The trail goes over a series of rises and high plateau till the windy craggy Chhatra La (4,580m), the gateway to the Dudhkoshi valley and the trail to Lukla, from where we look back on the Hinku wilderness for the last time and the south face of the peak we have just climbed.
Day 17: Fly back to Kathmandu 1350m (35min flight)
This morning, we have a flight from Lukla to Kathmandu; it is a thrilling exciting flight over forests, fields and villages with the Himalayas at the background. On arrival, we transfer to the hotel. The remainder of the day is at leisure.
Day 18: Sightseeing In Kathmandu.
There are lots of interesting thing to see in Kathmandu valley: the Royal Palace, Durbar Squares, Swayambhunath (the monkey temple), Pashupatinath, Buddhist Stupa at Baudhnath, Patan and an ancient city Bhakatpur etc. Or you may explore down town to shop for souvenirs, getting your photos or slides processed and trying out the various restaurants in Thamel.
