Altitude sickness Mera peak:

Where there are mountains there is a fear of altitude sickness. This mountain disease is possible in high-altitude areas above 3500 meters. The Mera Shikhar trek takes you from the lowest point at 1400 meters (Kathmandu) to the highest at 6,476 meters (Mera Peak). Between these two places, you will change altitudes from day to day. Therefore, anyone who is new or not well at high altitudes can get acute mountain sickness (AMS) or altitude sickness. And this is one of the hardest parts of my climb.

Weather and temperature Mera peak:

The weather and temperature in the highlands are unpredictable. With such conditions, there is always the fear of harsh weather. Temperatures can drop sharply at any time, and snowfall can occur on any day.

And if that happens, your already tough My Peak climb will level up in difficulty. Warm temperatures and rain or snow-free days are essential for easy climbing. Hence, any severe change in weather and temperature can cause some difficulties while climbing.

Physical fitness:

Although there is no technical climbing on the Mera Peaks expedition, a good fitness level is a minimum you need. If you don't have a good fitness level, build it up. There are various exercises that can increase your fitness, for example, gym workouts, walking, running, etc.

These exercises need to be started at least 2 to 3 months before the climbing date. And, if you are someone who doesn't like to exercise a lot, this preparation for physical fitness can be difficult.

Best time to climb Mera Peak:

If you have been to Nepal for adventure before, you surely know the best time for trekking/trekking in Nepal. Fall and spring are my two favorite times to climb the peaks. During these seasons the temperature is stable, and there is little chance of snow or rain. However, there are two seasons, namely winter and monsoon, which are considered an off-season for any adventure travel in Nepal.

Winter is the coldest period of the year, and monsoon is the rainy season. Rain and snow are the two biggest fears of any climb, and very few adventurers want to risk their lives. Therefore, the two best times to climb Mera Peak are fall and spring.

Accommodation and food during the Mera peak climb:

During the walk, food and accommodation will be provided at the tea house. A tea house is a small accommodation lodge run by local people, they provide a small room with a bed and blanket. Tea house accommodation can be full and busy during the peak season and autumn season, so pre-booking is essential to get a room. The food will be good because of the high altitude and long trek. There will be a menu to order food. It is better to order breakfast and dinner in advance as it takes a little longer to prepare food during the busy season.

While going to the high altitude/basecamp of Mera Peak, there will be no teahouses, there will be camping, where you will sleep in a tent and the food will be prepared by the basecamp cook. After the summit you don't need to camp, you descend through the village so accommodation and food will be at tea houses.
