Mera Peak Climbing with Alliance Treks in October 2025 was amazing experience. Mera Peak Climbing inside the Makalu Barun National Park was my first time experience in Nepal in the Everest region but my climbing guide Dawa Sherpa did incredible job. I was nearly give up on the half of the way but Dawa’s motivation made it successful. It’s not so technical peak but you still have to be fit enough and have to have climbing experience respecting mountain and climbing rules.
15days in total made me bit harder but after successfully summiting the peak, I felt I can do Mt. Everest Expedition in the future. Views from the top of Mera Peak Climbing is breathtaking.
Thank you Kul and team, trekking guide Jay and porter Nim. I love to visit Nepal again and use Alliance Treks. I do recommend my many friends who are adventure lover.
Namaste !
