Mera Peak is considered the highest trekking peak in Nepal, making it a perfect adventure for climbers seeking high-altitude experience without extreme technical challenges. Some climbers also use this peak as a training peak before heading for the big expeditions like Mount Everest and Annapurna.

The most beautiful time to plan the Mera Peak Climbing is during the pre-monsoon (March to May) and post-monsoon (late September to November) seasons. During these months, the weather at high altitude remains stable, the skies are clear, and the views of the Himalayas are breathtaking.
The spring season is also known as the season of flowers, as you can witness a variety of blooming flowers on the trekking routes. High altitude forest areas turn colorful due to the blossoming of rhododendron(the National flower of Nepal). The view of the beautiful landscape and breathtaking mountain peaks is amazing to watch this time.
In autumn, the fresh air after the monsoon allows you to witness the 8,000 peaks with no obstruction due to spectacular visibility. Also, this time Nepal celebrates the biggest festival, Dashain and Tihar, where you can encounter and understand Nepal’s culture and traditions.
Summer and monsoon months (June to August) are not recommended for peak climbing due to the high chance of heavy rainfall, which results in slippery trails and increased risk of landslides. During Winter(December to February), Mera Peak climbing is possible but recommended only for experienced climbers. During winter, climbers need to face extreme cold, strong winds, and snow-covered routes.

Lukla flight depends upon the weather conditions, and most of the flight is scheduled in the early morning. Airlines that operate the Lukal flight allow a baggage limit of around 15 kg total per person(10 kg checked bag and a 5 kg hand carry).
During the peak season, the flight is diverted to the Manthali airport, which means you need to reach the Manthali airport first and take a flight to Lukla. To reach the Ramechhap airport, you can use road transportation, which will take around 4 to 5 hours in a private vehicle.
In the off-season, you can take a direct flight to Lukla airport from the domestic terminal of Kathmandu. All transportation will be arranged by Everest Delight as mentioned in the itinerary.
