Mera Peak Climbing is definitely one of the challenge-able climbing destinations in the entire Khumbu region.
What makes this peak more challenge able to climb is its steepness, the high altitude, and the weather! What also matters is – the skill, the technique and the stamina of the trekker.
However, what we must not forget is that despite its difficulty level, many trekkers have been able to climb it, rather easily, and climbing it is nothing like an expedition in a mountain.
Though there are many arguments that one doesn’t require mountaineering expertise to get to the top of this giant peak, this isn’t an average trekker’s play either.
Details Of Mera Peak Climbing in Nepal
The journey to the Mera Peak takes you to an entirely different realm of Khumbu region. Unlike most of the other trekking routes, it doesn’t share its route with the Everest Base Camp Trek.
From Lukla, the route heads east and makes its way through villages of Paiya, Chhatra Khola, and finally Thaknak, the nearest settlement to Climbing Mera.
After these activities, the route makes its way back west to Lukla, by crossing villages like Khare, Khote, and Thuli Kharka. Despite the differences in the route, the landscape that unfolds during the journey is more or less similar to that of Everest Base Camp Trek.
The settlements, however, are quite distinct, as they have a different feel to it. There are minor similarities in the ways of the people, however, there are dissimilarities too.
However, these villages offering amazing experiences to the trekkers from all perspectives.
How hard is Mera Peak Climbing?
One thing that you need to understand about this trek is that despite the fact it is coined as a trekking peak, it’s difficult for an average trekker to climb it, for various reasons.
The first reason is that the climb requires the use of basic mountaineering equipment. The second reason is that the surface of the peak is extremely steep and sharp, and not everyone can make their way through it.
The third reason is the altitude and the weather, which is quite extreme in comparison to other lower altitude trekking destinations. And the final reason is habit.
Only the trekkers who have amazing stamina, and can breathe the thin air easily can succeed at climbing Mera Peak. As a whole, this trek is regarded as an extremely tough trekking destination which is not to be attempted by an average trekker.
Mera Peak Death Rate
Now, despite the fact that Mera Peak is a steep trekking peak, and that it’s quite difficult to climb, there aren’t any clear records or cases of death or any sort of fatality occurring in terms of the peak.
Of course, there may have been injuries, but probably so minor that they never really became a part of any news or official records.
The main reason because of which health issues occur during this peak trekking is altitude sickness. There have been cases to porters suffering from frostbite in the area, but that’s probably because of not using the right kind of wears.
Despite the difficulty level of this Trek, quite a few trekkers go for this trek, needless to say, that they are the experts, and also possess a little bit of experience in mountaineering.
However, it is not an impossible trek for an average trekker. A couple of treks to challenging trekking destination, a little bit of training and preparation shout be enough for anyone to conquer the peak.
So, if you’re planning to reach the top of this tough cookie, you now know exactly what you need to do. Don’t let its toughness scare you.
