Lower Solukhumbu + Mera Peak Climbing

Trek through the Lower Solukhumbu’s scenic Hinku Valley, one of Nepal’s most peaceful and culturally rich regions, surrounded by snow-capped ridges, deep pine forests, and traditional Sherpa villages untouched by mass tourism. The journey gradually ascends from lush lowlands and terraced hillsides to alpine landscapes and glacial terrain — offering a perfect blend of cultural immersion and high-altitude adventure.

As you acclimatize in the Khumbu region, you’ll pass through villages like Panggom, Thuli Kharka, Kothe, Thangnak, and Khare, each providing warm hospitality and insight into Sherpa traditions and mountain life. Beyond Khare, the trail enters a striking high-altitude world of ice and rock leading to Mera Base Camp and Mera High Camp, where climbers receive essential glacier training and rope practice under expert mountain guides.

The highlight of the expedition is the ascent of Mera Peak (≈6,476 m / 21,247 ft) — Nepal’s highest trekking peak. The climb is non-technical but physically demanding, involving steady glacier walking, crampons, and fixed-rope sections on the upper slope. From the summit, you’ll witness one of the world’s most breathtaking panoramas: a 360° view of five 8,000-meter giants — Everest, Lhotse, Cho Oyu, Makalu, and Kangchenjunga — shining across the eastern Himalayas.

This combined Lower Solukhumbu and Mera Peak trek is ideal for those seeking a remote, less crowded alternative to the Everest Base Camp trail, while still achieving a Himalayan summit. The journey is best undertaken during spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) when skies are clear, temperatures stable, and climbing conditions safest. Supported by professional Sherpa guides and porters, the adventure blends authentic village trekking, wilderness exploration, and high-mountain challenge — making it one of Nepal’s most rewarding trekking and climbing experiences.
