Exceptional Panoramic View from the Summit

We begin the Mera trek via the remote region of Panch Pokhara in the Hinku valley to Khare. To make the Mera peak climb summit day shorter and enjoyable, we set our high camp at 5800 meters on a rocky shelf behind a large vertical rock. It provides some degree of shelter. The panoramic view seen from our Mera High Camp is truly breathtaking and probably one of the best of its kind. Ultimately the Mera peak climbing summit day starts early in the morning. We approach the Mere peak by the northern route. Particularly it involves a gradual climb with an outstanding mountain panorama always in sight.

All personal and group climbing gear is provided including La – Sportiva climbing boots. Thus, no need to buy or bring any expensive climbing gear.

The view from the summit is one of the finest in the Himalayas. Truly five spectacular 8000-meter peaks visible. Mt. Everest (8848 m), Cho - Oyu (8201 m), Lhotse (8516 m), Makalu (8463 m), Kanchenjunga (8586 m) as well as Nuptse (7855 m) and Chamlang (7319 m) – incomparable vista. We trek out a shorter route back to Lukla via the Zetra la to end the challenging expedition trip of Mera peak climbing.

Mera Peak Climbing with Safety First and all Gear Provided

We stay in a combination of teahouse and camping. Teahouse while on trekking and around 3 nights on tented camping while on climbing the Mera peak. We have a food menu from the teahouse to choose from and our cook prepares the food while on camp. As a safety precaution, we always carry an Oxygen cylinder with a regulator or Portable Altitude Chamber (PAC) along with a comprehensive medical kit. Furthermore a satellite phone for communication in case of emergency on this climbing trip to the Mera peak in Nepal. Thus safety and comfort are our priorities.

Outstanding Trip

Just returned from climbing Mera Peak, what a fantastic trip with our guide Ngima and the other excellent supporting guides and Sherpas. The accommodation was mainly in tents with some nights in tea houses and I have to say that it was a wonderful experience.
The trip from start to finish was outstanding and I have come away with many great pictures of five of the world's 8000m peaks and memories that will last for a very long time.
The whole group also became friends very quickly and supported each other in such a way that we will stay very close for many years.
Mountain Monarch took care of everything from meeting everyone at Kathmandu Airport, transportation to and from the hotels, internal flights and generally making sure the whole trip was well organized and safe, this provided the opportunity for everyone to climb their mountain.
Thank you and hope to see you again very soon.

Journey of a lifetime

I participated in a “Mountain Monarch” peak climbing tour to Mera Peak Oct/Nov 2016. It was truly a journey of a lifetime. The trekking was very professional and well organized. There was a high level of focus on safety with an itinerary that minimized the risk of high altitude sickness. The group – with Ngima Sarki Sherpa as an excellent leader – was competent, very friendly, and helpful. The kitchen staff produced tasty and hygienic prepared food even under difficult conditions. On the summit day, no less than three climbing guides allowed that the 8 clients could be split into three separate groups according to individual physical capacity. This contributed to the fact that the summit success rate was 100 %. I had a wonderful trip to Mera Peak with the most astonishing views of the beautiful surrounding mountains. I can highly recommend “Mountain Monarch” as a trekking tour operator.

Safe and 100% successful climb to Mera Peak

Our sincere thanks to Mountain Monarch and our wonderful team who ensured us a trip of a lifetime. From Prakash our excellent mountain guide, Arjun our super climbing guide, Shambhu our young assistant, Mila our cook with his kitchen team, and all the porters and helpers – a great team!

We chose MM for our Mera Peak ascent (Sept 2016) because of their professionalism, value for money, and because they are a locally based company in Kathmandu. We were so impressed by the friendliness, knowledge, and attention to detail that shows across this company from the Managing Director to the porters.

The MM team showed great care and motivation with our endeavor to reach the summit of Mera (6476m). Without their help and guidance, it is clear that we would not have made it! Plenty of time was allocated for acclimatization and the trek and climb was well organized. Whilst trekking we stayed in some teahouses, which were of a decent standard and were clean and comfortable. We also utilized tents that the MM team was excellent in assistance with quick and efficient setting up and breaking camp even in the wettest and snowiest weather! Food was good and there was always plenty of it.

Prakash, our mountain guide, an excellent leader, looked after our daily needs and ensured that our trekking was hassle-free. Our climbing guide Arjun is a great character with extensive experience. They ensured that our climb went without incident and it was a real pleasure to spend time with them (we now consider these guys our mates!). Our MM crew were fantastic and looked after us well which resulted in the time that we spent in Nepal being thoroughly enjoyed.

We found Mountain Monarch to be a leading company offering SAFE & RESPONSIBLE trekking throughout the Himalayas. Many of the big-ticket trekking equipment items are catered for with this company at NO extra cost. This included the down jacket, sleeping bag & liner, crampons, gaiters, trekking poles, ice picks, helmets, harnesses, and some great additional training!

We are proud of our decision to trek with Mountain Monarchs and glad we made new friends among the team, our trekking group, and the locals. We are looking forward to our next trip to Nepal, which will definitely be with Mountain Monarch!

Dhanyavad from the Merlano family!
