Mera Peak Climbing is another popular highest climbing peak in the Khumbu region located south of Mount Everest. The route to the Mera summit is technically straightforward through the heavy snow and the mess of crevasses make the way longer to the summit. Climbers can reach Mera summit after completing some technical ascent along with a complicated snow walk. As this peak is situated in the remote part of the Khumbu region trekkers get the opportunity to explore the hidden natural and cultural beauties of the Khumbu region during this trip. Mera Peak is full of snow and has little technique so it is better to have some knowledge and experience about using an ice ax, crampons, rope, traveling on the glacier, and ascending and descending on the snow before climbing this peak.
Besides the attractive beauty of Mera peak, climbers can enjoy other natural and cultural beauties of the Khumbu region during the Mera peak climbing trip. To reach Mera peak base camp climbers will follow a separate route which is going through the little-visited places and villages where trekkers can explore new things. Several Sherpa villages, their unspoiled culture, colorful monasteries, Gompas, dense forests, hidden valleys, and beautiful landscapes are some attractions of this journey. If the climbers want to visit other places in the Everest region they can combine the Mera peak climbing trip with other popular trekking trips in the Everest region.
