Mera Peak is a great mountain to start your high altitude climbing at. You don’t need previous alpine climbing experience; we see it as a plus though. You will try walking on glacier and easier ice-and snow climbing. Please don’t hesitate to book our pre-trip weekend there you will learn basic knowledge for ice axe-and crampon techniques. Your physical strength should be good for this climb. You should count on days with 4-6h trek during most days with some days up to 6-8h. We recommend that you use trekking poles during our trek so please don’t hesitate to use them when you practise at home as well.
