Useful Info

The Expedition Group

For the Mt.Mera peak Expedition, there will be one lead International Certified Nepalese Mountain Guide (NNMGA/IFMGA) Assistant Climbing Guide (level-2 Mountaineering Done Train Guide) (2 Climbers:1 assistant guide) and Sherpa porters for luggage carrying (2 Climbers:1 porter) This arrangement ensures that should anybody in the group is sick, the trip can still go ahead as planned. We can run the Expedition for groups of any size, but usually, it is a maximum of twelve people as we’ve found this to be the optimum size for a successful trip. However, if you’d like to book this trip for a large group then that can be arranged too.

Accommodations

We will be staying at Hotel Marshyandi/Mandala Boutique /Yatri Suites Spa Hotel in Kathmandu and teahouses during the trek. All accommodations are on twin-shared basis. Single supplement will be served on request and will cost an additional USD. Himalaya Summit Club will arrange rooms with attached washrooms; however, teahouses in some places only have shared washing and toilet facilities. Also note that single rooms are readily available in Kathmandu and the trekking regions at lower elevation but it might be difficult to find them at higher elevations.

Meals

During our Expedition, we can enjoy authentic Nepalese food as well the more common international cuisine (Tibetan, Continental, Italian, Indian, etc.). Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or from a lodge menu where we spend the night whereas lunch will be served on the way to the next destination, where we can find lodges or Home stay. And where starting Tented camp will have our expedition Cook serve will breakfast, Lunch and Dinner with fresh vegetable, fresh meet item sometime and hygienic as well. But above Base camp will alpine style foods. There will also be welcome and farewell dinners for guests.

Travel Insurance

It is a condition upon joining any of Himalaya Summit Club trips that all clients be insured for comprehensive expenses that might incur due to medical issues or accidents (this includes air ambulance, helicopter rescue, and treatment costs). Please note that we don’t arrange or sell insurance.

Acclimatization

This trek’s itinerary is planned with a high degree of awareness of AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness). Going up at higher altitudes too fast causes a medical condition serious enough to result in death. The higher the altitude, the less oxygen will be in the air. For example, at an altitude above of 5000m, there is 50% less oxygen than at sea level. Therefore, our body needs many days to adapt to an environment with less-oxygen.

Himalaya Summit Club advises guest(s) with known heart, lungs or blood diseases to consult their doctor before traveling. Mild headaches, fever, loss of appetite or stomach disorders are symptoms of AMS. Check out “Altitude illness” by Dr Jim Duff, whether once you getting in Kathmandu you can we will arrange to meet with Expedition Doctor Mr. Nima Namgel Sherpa. Himalaya Summit Club itineraries are designed to try to prevent AMS as much as possible. But, it is important to remember that some visitors are more vulnerable than others.

Best Time to Travel

Spring (March to May) and Autumn (September to November) are the best months for this trip. Although this trip can be taken during winter, there might be a problem due to obstructed pass due to ice or snow. The trekking routes are crowded during Spring and Autumn but during Monsoon and Winter the routes are not packed and we could enjoy rather best of nature.

Vi havde den mest fantastiske tur til Mera Peak takket være Himalaya Summit Club.

Vi havde den mest fantastiske tur til Mera Peak takket være Himalaya Summit Club. Allerede inden rejsen til Nepal var Tulsi rigtig god til at besvare vores spørgsmål over videoopkald. Da vi ankom, hentede Tulsi os i lufthavnen, og rejsen begyndte dagen efter med en certificeret guide og assistentguide, Utam og Tiraj. Turen forløb gnidningsfrit, og vi følte os i trygge hænder hele vejen. Varm anbefaling herfra.

The trip to Mera Peak has been an experience of a lifetime!

The trip to Mera Peak has been an experience of a lifetime! We had such a warm welcome arriving in Kathmandu, a lot of help with choosing and renting any missing gear. The 13x day expedition was very well prepared, the tea-houses and having 3x warm meals a day was amazing! The overall trip was very professionally organized, our oxygen levels were monitored daily at higher altitudes to ensure that we are all well acclimatized and ready for the summit push.

We summitted at 7.15AM, on 17th of April and the view was amazing! Everest, Lhotse, Cho Oyu, Makalu just to name a few.. I would very warmly recommend Himalaya Summit Club! Special thanks to Tulsi for organizing everything and for all the help before the trip answering all our questions about the trip, what gear to choose etc. Huge thanks to our main guide Uttam, assistant guide Tiraj and our hard-working porters for making it all possible and memorable!
