Trip Overview

Mera Peak With Mingbo La Pass is a true taste of Himalayan expeditions, accessible without technical difficulties, even for intermediate trekkers and well-prepared high mountain hikers. Situated in the Khumbu region of Nepal next to Island Peak, Mera Peak is the tallest trekking peak at an elevation of 6476 m above sea level.

From the summit, you can be amazed by the beautiful creation of Mother Nature in the form of Everest, Kanchenjunga, Makalu, Lhotse, and Cho Oyu.

After climbing the Mera Peak, we then head on to cross the high Pass of Mingbo La, elevated at 5817 m above sea level. The Mingbo La Pass joins the two regions of Khumbu Himal. The Pass runs from the edge of the Ama Dablam mountain to the Khumbu Valley.

The Mingbo La Pass is no inferior to opening up the best views of beautiful mountains, including Makalu, Lhotse, Baruntse, Ama Dablam, and Thamserku.

On our three-week Mera Peak climbing with Mingbola pass trek, we will cross another high Pass of Mera La at 5415 m before summitting the Mera Peak. In addition, we will meet wonderful people from the Tamangs and Sherpas who live in these little-visited areas of the Himalayas. There will also be time to explore Kathmandu.

In short, our Mera Peak Climbing with Mingbola Pass trek has almost everything that makes us go to the mountains. We will pass through the beautiful wilderness of Sagarmatha and Makalu Barun National Parks. We will pass through ancient villages that will give us an insight into the rich culture of the local people during the Mera Peak climbing With Mingbo La Pass.

Our program may be long, but it gives us ample time to acclimate and rest before the more difficult stages of the expedition. Therefore, it can be completed by an intermediate mountain tourist as well.

How does our journey begin?

Our glorious yet adventurous expedition of Mera Peak climbing and Mingbo la Pass crossing begins with a spectacular flight to Lukla. From here, we descend into Hinku Valley, where we climb higher and higher in truly untouched countryside, along roaring mountain streams, on a winding forest path between huge rhododendron trees and pine forests, while the mountains almost bend over our heads.

Then, we conquer the Mera Peak and hike forward to cross the Mingbo La Pass to reach Pangboche. We will then return to Lukla and fly to Kathmandu.

Trip Information of Mera Peak Climbing With Mingbo La Pass

Best Time

The best time to climb Mera Peak and cross the Mingbo La Pass is autumn, from September to November. And the second favorable time would be the months from March to May in spring.

These two seasons offer a daytime temperature of 20 degrees and a nighttime temperature of -0 to 5 degrees in the mountains. Additionally, the great mountain views will be clear, the vegetation will be rich with flora and fauna, and the mountain edges will be open.

In winter, crossing the Pass and conquering the summit can be challenging due to the accumulation of old and fresh snow. The summer brings heavy precipitation, which makes the route more difficult.

Elevation and Distance

The Mera Peak With Mingbo La Pass, lying in the Khumbu region, is approximately 75 km from Kathmandu. Our real adventure begins in the mountain village of Lukla, which is 367 km from Kathmandu. However, the capital is separated from Lukla by only 135 km by air, which can be covered within 25 minutes by flight.

The highest point of our expedition beside the Mera Peak itself is the Mingbo La Pass, elevated at 5817 m above sea level. Our 21-day Mera Peak With Mingbo La Pass program requires us to hike for 5 to 7 hours on average, covering around 10 to 12 km daily.

Maximum/Minimum walk per day

The challenging 21-day journey of mounting the Mera Peak and Mongba La Pass includes 16 days of hiking adventure. We will walk for about 5 to 7 hours approximately each day. We have designed each day focusing on proper acclimatization. As we progress to the summit, we will gradually ascend at a slow pace. Therefore, on day 9, when we trek from Thaknak to Khare, we will only walk for 2 to 3 hours.

However, during the summit day on day 13, we hike for 9 to 10 hours, which is the toughest and longest day of our trek.

Difficulty and Acclimatization

The classic route to the Mera Peak Climbing with Mingbola Pass Trek is not technically difficult. The Mera Peak is classified as 1B alpine grade, which makes it a moderately difficult trekking peak. However, we will also cross the Mingbo la Pass, overcoming the steep slope of up to 40° with an inclination of 35-40°.

Therefore, you require some skills to walk in crampons on a glacier, walk in a group, use ice ax, climbing and descending along a fix require.

The major risk that we may encounter is altitude sickness, for which we have separated proper acclimatization days at Kathmandu and Khare.

Can a beginner join this trek?

No, Mera Peak With Mingbo La Pass is designed for intermediate trekkers who have certain mountaineering skills and have some experience in high altitude treks of more than 5000 m altitude. Although Mera Peak is a trekking peak, it still needs good physical and mental health.

In addition, we will spend five days and nights in tents, so you have to be prepared for cold nights and also for adverse weather conditions. Do not forget that we also have to overcome the High Pass of Mingbo La and Nera Glacier at the culmination of the expedition.

So, if you are a beginner, you can first ascend the Mera Peak and then participate in our expedition for an additional challenge.

Preparation and training

For our strenuous journey, you must possess a good level of physical and mental fitness for which you can walk or hike regularly to improve your endurance and overall fitness. You can climb indoors or outdoors to improve your strength and muscular endurance.

You can also do exercises such as running and cycling to improve your cardiovascular endurance. If possible, do high altitude training to get used to the altitude and reduce altitude risks. Participate in smaller expeditions before attempting this climb.

Alternate routes

There is another route that is possible to take to approach Mera Peak and Mongba La Pass. You can progress toward the Peak through the Zatra-La pass for optimal acclimatization.

It allows you to walk less and acclimatize better if you do not go straight to the pass but do radial acclimatization trips. Both routes meet at Kothe and continue the same way.

Altitude Sickness

Reaching an altitude of more than 3000 m, you are susceptible to developing the mild symptoms of altitude sickness. Headache, appetite loss, sleep loss, and dizziness are the symptoms that subside within two or three days as the body adapts to the high altitude.

Administration of Diamox or Ibuprofen will help relieve the symptoms. If the symptoms persist, you have to immediately go down to the elevation where you didn’t feel these symptoms.

Drinking plenty of water, soup, lemon, ginger tea, and walking slowly are the tricks to prevent altitude sickness.

Transportation, Meals and Drink

Our service for our guests begins as soon as they arrive in Kathmandu. We offer every guest transfer from the international airport to the hotel upon arrival in Kathmandu, transfer from the hotel to the airport for a flight to Lukla, and transfer from the airport to the hotel upon the group’s arrival from Lukla. We also provide local flights from Kathmandu – Lukla – Kathmandu at the beginning and end of the trip.

Breakfast, excluding lunch and dinner, will be in Kathmandu. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are provided in mountain lodges of the villages during treks. Rice, Lentil, and Vegetables will be the typical choices, but you can also order chowmen, noodle soup, pizza, momos, eggs, fried potato, etc.

Unlimited food, tea or coffee, and hot water will be provided during camping. Our crew will carry all necessary tents, kitchen, and dining items for the camping trip.

Communication, Gadgets charging, and Internet/wifi

Along the route to the Mera Peak and Mongba La Pass, you can enjoy good internet and mobile connectivity along with gadget charging service. NCELL networks work better than NTC networks in these areas. Be prepared to pay an extra charge for these services.

In camps at Mera Peak and Pass, you may not get good reception on mobile networks or the internet. So, carry powerful power banks and batteries for your devices.

Permits

We will be traversing the protected zone of Makalu Barun National Park, so we need the national park permit. In the latter part of our expedition, we walked through the preserved zone of Sagarmatha National Park, for which we need the National Park permit along with the Khumbu Pasang Lhamu rural fee. For the climbing part, we need the climbing permit for Mera Peak.
