Today is an important acclimatization day, dedicated to helping us adjust to the high altitude and preparing us for the upcoming challenge of climbing Mera Peak. This day allows us to rest and acclimate to the thin air, reducing the risk of altitude-related issues during our ascent.

During this acclimatization day in Khare, we will focus on honing our climbing skills and familiarizing ourselves with the necessary equipment for our Mera Peak climb.

Entrance fees, National park fees, climbing royalties are the backbone of the Nepalese economy. Foreigner tourists visiting heritage sites, attraction places, and monuments of the country and have to pay a certain entrance fee to get inside the area. The people of South Asian countries (SAARC) have to pay fewer entrance fees in comparison to tourists from other countries. Many tourists want to see the typical Nepalese art and cultural places, happily paying the entrance fee because it is worth paying to visit.

The 7 heritage sites of Kathmandu valley are amazing. Boudhanath, Pashupatinath, Swayambhunath, Kathmandu Durbar Square, Patan Durbar Square, Bhaktapur Durbar Square, and Changunarayan have their own history. They are not only rich in art and architecture but also fountain spiritual places of Hinduism and Buddhism. Most of the constructions made have a tantric background and old history. Not only the Kathmandu valley but other parts of the country are also rich in nature and history. Lumbini (Birth Place of Gautam Buddha) Chitwan National park, Pokhara, Nagarkot, Trekking trails, Peak climbing, Expedition are the main tourist destination in Nepal and main income sources of the country. It is the government that keeps the price of priceless monuments and makes some money from tourists who visit them.

Physical Fitness:

Many people have questions as to what level of physical fitness is required for trekking in Nepal and that is extremely reliant on what activity the visitor is engaging in Nepal  With that said, for a standard easy trek to Extreme hard level of trekking. The daily activity (trek) would be 5-6 hours,(depend on the trekking trail) and elevation will generally not exceed 5,600 meters like Everest Base Camp, Throng la passes, Chola passes treks and other passes or Base Camp but some of them are less than 4000m. The trekking day is involving both long steep climbs, and descents with a variety of terrain underfoot from well-trodden paths, to rocks covered with ice or snow, depending on the season. Mostly a day would include a number of climbs or descents of 600 meters more or less, starting after the early morning breakfast, resting at a lunch place in the afternoon, then continuous trekking until arriving at the teahouse.

In preparation for the trekking in Nepal, it is important, to begin with, the basic training requirement at least 2 months before departing for trekking in Nepal. Two to three hours of aerobic exercise like running, walking, swimming, cycling & some gym work per week is the minimum and most will find it beneficial to add some basic strength training to their physical fitness routine required for the hard trekking and for normal and easy trek just have some physical fitness is enough. One of the best ways to prepare is to take practice hikes with a daypack roughly the same weight as what you will be taking during the trek. Your calf should be enough fit and prepare for trekking. Mostly during the trekking calf pain or tiredness is the main issue. Do this only after a baseline of fitness has been reached. Moving fast is not our goal, will provide a more enjoyable and safe adventure trekking in Nepal for all easy and hard level.

Trekking Seasons in Nepal:

There are main two seasons in which Nepal where the most amount of visitors visit. (September, October & November) being the most popular season which is also called the peak season in Nepal, and spring (March, April & May) coming in close behind which is also called the mini-season in Nepal. The summer months of June, July, and August are the monsoon season and most of the time raining as such the trails are mostly washed out sometimes, and roads can sometimes be impassible due to landslide activates. Nevertheless, you can trek to rain-shadow regions like Upper Dolpo and Upper Mustang during the monsoon seasons. Nepal is a suitable destination for all seasons.

Winter is very dry & extremely cold and all the high passes become inaccessible due to ice and snow conditions. The temperature doesn’t usually fluctuate during the day time temperature is around 20-25 degrees. However, you gain altitude the temperature decreases. The temperature can drop to around 0 to -25 degrees at night when staying at tented camps in Himalayan regions. Winter trek in higher altitudes is not advised due to the danger of avalanches and also altitude sickness. Although some may enjoy the sight of the snow-covered mountains as you reach your destination.  However, the temperature does not change as much in lower mountain regions the nights are slightly colder than days’ time.

Autumn &Spring is the best timing for trekking in Nepal because the weather is generally warm and dry, and flowers are in bloom in the lower elevations of the country on the same time you can see the many festivals during that period.

Trekking Day:

A typical trekking day begins with the early morning breakfast around 7 am in the hotel. (Depend on the trekking region). It would advise you to pack your trekking gears in a duffle bag and essential supplies in your day pack after having breakfast; we begin the trek and head along the trail at around 8 am. The morning walk is more energetic to be longer as we begin with refreshed bodies and enthusiasm.  A good morning’s walk, we make a stop for lunch at around 11-12 pm. The lunch involves group meals enjoying the vicinity around the stop & enjoys the organic & local food in the mountain. After resting for about an hour or two, we resume our trek to reach the teahouse or camp by 2-3 pm. The afternoon walk is relatively shorter and can involve games and side trips as organized by the trekking experienced guides. You also can enjoy breaks during the trek to relax, read, and stroll around the area, or doing yoga. You can explore with the local people and observe their lifestyle & culture. Dinner is served around 7-8 in the evening to round off the day.

Meals and Accommodations:

During the trekking period, the accommodation is commonly referred to as teahouses. These are family-run basic lodges that fill the role of the restaurant, Dining hall, and boarding house for tourists. Now a day’s electricity can be found in the rooms, which means one light bulb, and one or two outlets for charging electronics. The common areas are also lit by electricity. Alternatively, teahouses may also use solar, hydroelectric, or have electrical lines running into the village, so the commonality and availability of electricity may vary. Still, a few of the trekking route electricity service is not available. Use the local traditional kerosene light.

Most of the teahouses have private rooms, though if the trek is in a more remote or high altitude place there are limited teahouses so season time dormitories are the norm. Most of the room has 2 single beds with basic bedding, and the bathroom is shared. Some of the places we can get the private bathroom also with a mix of western and squat style toilets in the bathrooms.

Breakfast and dinner are taken at the same teahouses and these lodges have large family-style dining rooms centered on a stove or coal to provide heat basically in mountain areas. Most of the area’s menu will have Nepali-style western foods such as pancakes, pizza, burgers, fries, etc. Also on the menu is the traditional Nepali food Dal Bhat meal. This is a lentil soup with rice, vegetable, Pickle, or meat curry. Most menus will also offer a smattering of local cuisine.

Internal Flight Delays:

Nepal is an incredible and beautiful country of mixed of the White Mountains, deep valleys, Landscape, rivers, and green rolling hills. With this incredible diversity of landscapes, road travel can be extremely time-consuming and flights within Nepal to reach popular trekking destinations is the easiest way. Not all the trekking destination has flight service, so road transportation is the only option. Mountainous terrain also comes with the possibility of in-climate weather. It mentions the incredibly high number of visitors during peak seasons makes internal flight delays a genuine possibility. To manage this situation, it may be helpful to have a few extras days on either end of your tour. If any cancellations or flight delays do occur (high chances of flight delays from around Kathmandu to Lukla, Everest region, Pokhara to Jomsom, Annapurna region), we also provide services to arrange chopper on the last stage to help you to be on your schedule on the premises of Civil Aviation Rules in Nepal which state that helicopters can fly if the visibility is 1500m. The cost ranges from USD400 to USD650 according to the number of passengers. The payment can be made either to the helicopter company or to us directly and can be made either by cash or using a credit card. It will be beneficial to purchase and review your insurance, the insurance companies may cover some of the alternative measures of travel. Flight insurance may cover changing your international flight if it is necessary.

Travel Insurance:

Most expeditions, Adventurous trekking, and tours require that travel insurance and it is purchased prior to arriving in Nepal, but other normal treks and tours may not require. However, travel insurance is definitely an important consideration. There are a number of reasons to consider insurance. Firstly, it may be required, so check to see what is being asked for by the company. Second, Nepal is a landlocked country, and there are only a few direct flights. Travel in and out of the country can encounter some disruptions if purchasing insurance, make sure flight delays and cancellations also included. Always choose insurance that, though every safeguard is in place during your Holiday, there are always extenuating circumstances that may result in an accident during trekking & tours. Read carefully printout of insurance policies to ensure that the trekking or any other activity you are engaging in is covered or not, as some policies have stopped covering trekking in certain places. If you are going above 5000 m or high always mention the policies so it’s cover the chopper service in the last condition. It is very important that if you have the comfort of good insurance, so do the research and choose carefully which makes your trip relaxing and joyful.

Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS):

Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) is usually seen in un-acclimatized people shortly after ascent to high altitudes. The condition occurs due to the thinning of air as the altitude increases.

The symptoms of Acute Mountain Sickness are nausea, vomiting, tiredness, shortness of breath, and cerebral pain.

Drinking-Water:

Water is essential for life, and clean water is imperative while on holiday. When visiting less developed countries like Nepal it is a concern that all travelers should consider. There are few options when trekking or traveling in Nepal that will mitigate any chances of drinking contaminated water. The first consideration to take into account is that tap water should not be ingested. That even means when brushing your teeth in an urban area. Most will choose to buy bottled water and if doing so make sure the cap has sealed properly. Plastic bottle reuse is a big problem, and with that being said there are other options on the market to assist in making water drinkable. Mountain spring water is drinkable but if you use the purified tablet. The conservation area project also sells this tablet for most of the trekking area. A guide will assist you to find out it also.

Yes, a beginner can climb Mera Peak, but it’s essential to be well-prepared and accompanied by experienced guides. While Mera Peak is considered a non-technical climb, it still presents challenges such as high altitude, steep terrain, and potentially harsh weather conditions. Beginners should focus on building physical fitness, acclimatizing to high altitude, and gaining experience with proper equipment before attempting the climb. Joining a guided expedition with experienced leaders significantly increases safety and the likelihood of a successful ascent for beginners.

Comparing the difficulty of Mera Peak and Kilimanjaro depends on various factors. Mera Peak, standing at 6,476 meters (21,247 feet), involves a more technical climb than Kilimanjaro, which is a non-technical trekking peak but reaches higher altitude at 5,895 meters (19,341 feet).

Mera Peak requires some basic mountaineering skills, such as the use of crampons and ice axe, as well as navigating through crevasses. Additionally, the weather conditions on Mera Peak can be more severe due to its location in the Himalayas.

Kilimanjaro, on the other hand, is a high-altitude trek that doesn’t require technical climbing skills. However, it does demand good physical fitness and the ability to cope with altitude sickness.

In summary, while Mera Peak may require more technical skills, Kilimanjaro’s higher altitude and potential for altitude sickness make it a different kind of challenge. Both require thorough preparation, but the specific difficulty can vary depending on individual factors and experience levels.

The duration of a hike to Mera Peak can vary depending on several factors, including the chosen route, weather conditions, acclimatization schedule, and individual fitness levels. Typically, a standard itinerary for climbing Mera Peak takes around 14 to 18 days round trip from Lukla, the gateway to the Khumbu region in Nepal.

This timeframe includes trekking to the Mera Peak Base Camp, allowing time for acclimatization along the way, and then ascending to the summit. After reaching the summit, there’s usually a descent back to Lukla.

However, some expeditions may have longer or shorter itineraries, depending on the preferences of the trekking group and the guiding company. It’s crucial to choose an itinerary that allows for proper acclimatization to minimize the risk of altitude-related illnesses.

Mera Peak is considered a challenging trekking peak, but it’s often achievable for those with a good level of physical fitness and proper preparation. Here’s a breakdown of its toughness:

  1. Altitude: Mera Peak reaches an elevation of 6,476 meters (21,247 feet), which means trekkers will experience high altitude. Altitude sickness can be a concern, so proper acclimatization is essential.
  2. Terrain: While Mera Peak is technically a non-technical climb, meaning it doesn’t require advanced mountaineering skills like ice climbing or rock climbing, it does involve steep and sometimes icy terrain. Trekkers may encounter glaciers, snow, and crevasses, requiring careful navigation.
  3. Weather: Weather conditions in the Himalayas can be unpredictable and harsh, with temperatures dropping well below freezing, especially at higher altitudes. Trekkers need to be prepared for cold temperatures, strong winds, and potential snowfall.
  4. Duration: Climbing Mera Peak typically takes around 14 to 18 days round trip from Lukla, depending on the chosen itinerary. It’s a physically demanding journey that requires endurance and stamina over an extended period.
  5. Experience: While Mera Peak doesn’t require advanced mountaineering skills, some basic experience in trekking at high altitudes and using mountaineering equipment like crampons and ice axes can be beneficial. Additionally, joining a guided expedition with experienced leaders enhances safety and the likelihood of a successful ascent.

The best time to climb Mera Peak is during the pre-monsoon (spring) and post-monsoon (autumn) seasons in Nepal.

  1. Spring Season (March to May):
    • This is generally considered the best time for climbing Mera Peak.
    • The weather is relatively stable, with clear skies and mild temperatures.
    • The spring season offers excellent visibility and stunning views of the surrounding Himalayan peaks.
    • The trails are also adorned with blooming rhododendrons and other wildflowers, adding to the scenic beauty.
  2. Autumn Season (September to November):
    • Another favorable period for climbing Mera Peak.
    • The weather is typically dry and stable, making it ideal for trekking and climbing.
    • The skies are clear, offering excellent views of the mountains.
    • The temperatures are moderate, making it comfortable for trekking during the day.

During both seasons, the weather conditions are generally more predictable, and the risk of encountering monsoon rains or harsh winter conditions is lower. However, it’s essential to keep in mind that weather patterns in the Himalayas can be unpredictable, so it’s crucial to check the weather forecast and be prepared for changes in conditions. Additionally, these seasons coincide with the peak trekking and climbing seasons in Nepal, so the trails and base camps may be busier with other trekkers and climbers.

The cost of climbing Mera Peak can vary depending on several factors, including the duration of the expedition, the level of service provided by the trekking company, the number of climbers in the group, and the inclusions/exclusions of the package. Here are some general components that contribute to the overall cost:

  1. Permit Fees: Climbing permits are required for Mera Peak, and the cost varies depending on the season and whether the climb is organized through a local trekking agency or directly with the Nepalese government.
  2. Guide and Porter Fees: Hiring experienced guides and porters is essential for safety and logistics. The cost includes their salaries, food, accommodation, and insurance.
  3. Equipment Rental: If you don’t have your own climbing gear, you may need to rent equipment such as ice axes, crampons, harnesses, and helmets.
  4. Accommodation and Meals: The cost typically includes accommodation in tea houses or tents along the trekking route, as well as meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner).
  5. Transportation: This includes flights or ground transportation to and from Lukla, where the trek to Mera Peak usually begins.
  6. Miscellaneous Expenses: This may include expenses for additional services, such as satellite phone usage, hot showers, charging electronic devices, and tips for guides and porters.

On average, the total cost for climbing Mera Peak with a reputable trekking company ranges from $2,500 to $5,000 per person for a standard 16 to 18-day expedition. However, prices can vary significantly depending on the level of comfort, services included, and the size of the group. It’s essential to clarify all inclusions and exclusions with the trekking company before booking to avoid any surprises. Additionally, keep in mind that personal expenses and travel insurance are not usually included in the package price.
