Mera Peak Climbing Everest (Khumbu) Region, Nepal — 16 Days/15 Nights
At 6,476m, Mera Peak is the highest of Nepal’s official trekking peaks — reached through the remote Hinku Valley rather than the busier Everest trail. The route passes through Makalu Barun National Park forest before climbing above the treeline to Khare and Mera High Camp, with a summit day that puts Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, and Cho Oyu all in view at once.
