              After a good night's rest you will be leaving Thangnak for Khare. From here the trek is now destined for Mera Peak.  This is a day of strenuous trekking initially as you go past the steep rubble trails. 

              The route towards the Mt. Charpate as well as Dig Glacier to Dig Kharka is enduring. As always the paths towards the glaciers are more often than not tricky hence a careful walks what you will adopt.

              The entire trekking trail is set on a steep uphill climb until it reaches to Khare. It is an inclined climb of 3-4 hours that takes you upwards to reach Khare. This is also supposed to be the gateway to Mera Peak Base Camp. 

              The views that you get of the surroundings is incredible. You will not only spend a night in Khare but acclimatize also after a strenuous session of long walks and climbs. 
               

                The morning today brings in lots of calm and ease as its the day meant for relaxing your tiring body. It needs to be well toned and in shape before you proceed any further. 

                This makes it imperatively essential to take a day or two days for acclimatization day which allows your body to recover. It is done so to avoid you from getting any kind of high altitude sickness. You will be spending your entire day at Khare.

                  After getting a much deserved break you start off early in the morning to be at the Mera Base Camp. Interestingly from here on you will be inching that much closer to the Mera Peak matching one stride to the other.

                   However the trail that you take on is a technically demanding one. As always it is a typical glacier trails which is always presents challenges as you walk through. Pushing harder a bit you will then reach to the top of the glacier where you will be setting up a camp.

                  You will be residing at the campsite made by your trekking guide team and savour food made by them. This happens to be the first day of your camping journey to the Mera Peak. 

                    Today you will get to experience the taste of your actual climb that you will get while making it to the Mera Peak in reality. For the first time you will be making use of the crampons. All set after your breakfast you will leave the base camp for the high camp.

                      This is happens to be one of the most memorable, thrilling and a significant morning of your entire journey. Today you will be reaching to the top of the Mera Peak summit. 

                      Getting your act together you will make all your climbing gears ready and leave the camp very early. This is because it is a very likely occurrence of getting strong winds in the afternoon literally obstructing our trek further.

                      Hence you will be starting at around 2 AM to reach the summit before noon. The guide will show you the way and following his footsteps you will feel comfortably safe and calm.

                      You need not worry as the summit climb is easy and requires no hard or fast technical skills. The moment you reach to the top of the summit you will be mesmerized and awe-struck. 
                      The panoramic views of Mt. Everest, Mt. Makalu, Mt. Cho Oyu, and other peaks is just inexplicable.

                      Making it to the summit gives you a sense of impeccable achievement while appreciating the mountains from the top. Getting to the top here safely is a dream of a lifetime to sit on the top and ponder upon. 

                      You will then click as many pictures as you want to for reliving the memories time and again. After a while you will be descending down back towards Khare for an overnight stay

                        Trekking high up in to the mountains is largely dependent on the weather and its ever changing moods. It is always unpredictable. 

                        At one point of time you get clearer skies and the very next from nowhere a cloud cover. To counter this unexpected weather behaviour a reserve day in our itinerary is kept. It always helps to counter such occurrences if any during our expeditions.

                        If everything is fine than this day is by default skipped and we continue our journey as per our set itinerary.

                          Reliving and relishing our successful Mera Peak Summit in the morning you will be heading back for Kothe. On the way you will go past the village of Thangnak the same place where we spent overnight. 

                          A good 3-4 hours of trek will take you downhill on a slope bound terrain. As you move one you will find yourself on an even ground into the Rhododendron, Oak, and Pine trees area. It is a refreshing experience that inspires you to move on. 

                            Today after taking a hearty breakfast in the morning you will be leaving Kothe for Thuli Kharka. You will be walking on a mixed kind of a trail which is more of an uphill walk rather than a downhill one. 

                            The woody trail leads you towards the west of Hinku Valley. A good long walk of 5-6 hours from Kothe, will reach you to the place of Thuli Kharka. 
                             

                              This is probably the last day of your trek on the mountainous terrains. You will be hiking through a series of mountain ranges before getting to the Zatrwa La Pass. The south face of both the Mera and Hinku Valley can be seen that lies in front of you at a distance. 

                              You then make an ideal descend down a rocky jut. From here on you again enter the forested terrain and farmland that lies just on the edges of Lukla.
                               

                                You will be getting up early in the morning for boarding a flight to Lukla. A short scenic flight will reach you to Kathmandu in a time span of 40 minutes. 

                                You will be received at the airport and then transferred to your destined hotel room safely. The entire day is free and you get enough time to travel around the Kathmandu and get the feel of the place and its cultural legacies. 
                                 

                                  A relaxed and an exciting free day are on the cards today. This day in Kathmandu is kept as a reserved or an extra day to counter flight delays and cancellations. 

                                  More often than not it does happen in Lukla, due to unfavourable bad weather conditions. As the Himalayan weather can be unpredictable so it always helps the cause.

                                  If all goes well and such incidents doesn’t occur the trek goes as per the set itinerary. However you can enjoy the day with individual activities of your choice. Or else you can join in for exciting tour around Kathmandu at places of historical and cultural interest.

                                      Essential Info

                                      If you have an Indian passport, the cost of trekking to Everest Base Camp is INR 100,000. When breaking down the cost, Indian citizens pay slightly less than citizens of other nations because India is a member of the SAARC (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri-Lanka), which lowers the cost of a permit. Additionally, Indian citizens pay less for airline tickets than citizens of other nations, which further lowers the cost of the trip.

Therefore you will be starting the climb very early in the morning at around 2 or 3 AM. However it largely depends upon the situation of the mountain. The actual climb takes around 10- 14 hours depending upon the climber’s ability and stamina.

                                        In another case if you are able to walk down, one of the assistant guides will guide you down to a lower elevation. Here you can wait for the rest of the team or fly out to Kathmandu ahead of the group.

                                        Please be reminded that even if you leave the expedition early, we are committed to pay the porters and guides. This is for the duration of the trip for which they are hired. So, refunds for the unused days for your trip will not be given.

                                      • Mera Peak climbing is technically straightforward but the final 50 meters from the top requires ropes, ice peaks, harness, crampons, etc. It is mandatory that you have the required gear and equipment for the trip. You have to seek advice for climbing equipment, boots, harness etc. from the company that’s helping you for the trip. You can either buy or rent them. 

                                        Not just climbing gears, you also need to have proper clothes for trekking and climbing.
