Mera Peak Climbing’s transportation is as follows:
To experience the best views and for climbing, Spring (Mar-May) and Autumn (Sep-Nov) are the best seasons for the Mera Peak Climbing as the weather is favorable and temperatures are stable in these months. The unstable weather and temperature, slippery trails, flight cancelations, and only limited services are experienced during the summer/monsoon and winter seasons. Plan wisely to climb Mera Peak in winter and summer/monsoon seasons.
The Mera Peak Climbing has a maximum elevation gain of 6,476m. It is common to get altitude sickness above 2500 m and hence there is a chance of getting altitude sickness during the Mera Peak Climbing.
