詳細な内訳

Mera Peak at 6,476 m is the highest trekking peak in Nepal. The route starts at Lukla, crosses Zatra La at 4,600 m, descends to the Hinku valley, and climbs through Thagnag and Khare to Mera Base Camp at 5,300 m and High Camp at 5,800 m. The summit day runs 8 to 12 hours round trip on a 30 degree glacier with a 50 m rope section on the north route.

Three variants dominate. The standard south summit route reaches 6,065 m and needs no ropes. The Mera North route adds a 50 m fixed rope headwall and reaches the true summit at 6,476 m. The Mera Three Passes combines Mera with the Khumbu Three Passes for a 18 to 21 day expedition.

コスト/コンポーネントの内訳

答えに影響するもの

Three factors shape the choice. First, climbing skill: the standard south summit at 6,065 m needs no rope work and suits first time peak climbers. The Mera North true summit at 6,476 m has a 50 m fixed rope headwall at 45 to 55 degrees, which needs jumar and crampon skills.

Second, calendar window: standard Mera runs 16 to 18 days. Mera North adds 1 to 2 days for the headwall approach. Mera Three Passes runs 18 to 21 days. Pick based on your Nepal block.

Third, scenery and ambition: the standard south summit gives a 5 of the 8 eight thousand meter peak panorama including Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, and Kanchenjunga. The Mera North true summit adds 400 m of altitude. The Mera Three Passes adds the Gokyo lakes, the Ngozumpa Glacier, and three 5,000 m pass crossings.

予約のヒント

Shortlist 4 operators with Nepal Mountaineering Association affiliation who ran Mera trips in 2024, 2025, or 2026. Ask each for the last three summit permit numbers, the named climbing guide with NNMGA or IFMGA certification, and the rope and anchor inventory for the route.

Confirm the operator runs a 1 to 2 climbing guide ratio, not 1 to 4. Pay 30 percent deposit by credit card, 50 percent on arrival in Kathmandu, and 20 percent at Lukla. Lock April or October dates by December.

代替案との比較

Compared with Island Peak at 6,189 m and $2,500 to $3,400, Mera is higher and less technical on the standard route but more technical on the North route. Pick Island Peak for a single fixed rope headwall crux, pick Mera for the 6,000 m walk up.

Compared with Lobuche East at 6,119 m and $2,800 to $3,800, Mera is higher and has a longer summit day. Pick Lobuche East for a longer technical ridge, pick Mera for altitude.

避けるべきよくある間違い

Do not book the standard south summit if your goal is the true 6,476 m peak. The south summit at 6,065 m is 411 m below the true summit, and many operators market it as the Mera summit.

Avoid operators who skip the High Camp at 5,800 m. The summit day from Base Camp at 5,300 m runs 14 to 16 hours, which exceeds most climbers. Skip any plan that runs Mera North without a 1 to 1 climbing guide ratio on the fixed rope section, since a fall on the 50 m headwall is lethal without a belay.
