MERA PEAK

Summit Nepal’s highest Trekking peak in as little as 8 days

EX#504.

Trip Overview

The Khumbu region, also called the Everest region, is where nature lovers and mountaineering enthusiasts go to marvel at many of the world’s highest mountains. Located in north-eastern Nepal, the region houses two national parks – the Sagarmatha National Park (a UNESCO world heritage site) and Makalu-Barun National Park. Altitudes in the area range from 3,300m all the way to the summit of Mount Everest at 8,848m.
A geographically isolated area due to the gigantic mountain peaks surrounding it, the Khumbu region first started to get significant human settlements in the 1500s. This was when the Sherpa ethnic group arrived and established trade routes between Nepal and Tibet. Nowadays, many of the trails used by trekkers are still the same paths walked on by merchants and their mules hundreds of years ago.
The main routes in the Khumbu valley take visitors through remote valleys, charming villages and high mountain passes. All the while you will find yourself spellbound by the glittering peaks soaring up into the sky everywhere you look.
Sagarmatha National Park contains eight mountains exceeding 7,000m as well as diverse fauna and flora. While sightings of large animals in the park are not very common, you might see Himalayan tahr, musk deer and maybe even the elusive snow leopard.
