Home » Trips » MERA PEAK LODGE TREK

The Mera Peak Lodge Trek is one of Nepal’s most rewarding adventures, combining scenic trekking through remote Himalayan villages with the challenge of summiting Mera Peak (6,476 m), the highest trekking peak in the country. Over 18 days, the journey takes you from the bustling streets of Kathmandu to the breathtaking landscapes of the Khumbu region, passing through lush forests, high-altitude valleys, and traditional Sherpa settlements. With gradual acclimatization and well-paced rest days, trekkers get the chance to enjoy both the cultural richness and natural beauty of the Himalayas.

The highlight of the trek is the summit climb of Mera Peak, offering unparalleled panoramic views of Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, and even Kanchenjunga on clear days. Supported by experienced guides, lodge accommodation, and a dedicated high-camp team, the expedition ensures comfort, safety, and memorable moments throughout. Ideal for adventurers seeking both trekking and peak-climbing experience, the Mera Peak Lodge Trek promises a perfect balance of challenge, culture, and breathtaking Himalayan scenery.
