Nepal (Khumbu / Mera Peak)

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

The Khumbu region of northeastern Nepal is the gateway to the world's highest mountains, including Mount Everest, and is one of the most iconic trekking destinations on the planet. Home to the Sherpa people and dotted with Buddhist monasteries, the area offers dramatic high-altitude landscapes across the Sagarmatha National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Mera Peak, at 6,476 metres, is one of Nepal's most popular trekking peaks — a non-technical but demanding summit that rewards climbers with sweeping views of five of the world's eight-thousanders. Trekkers and climbers come here for the raw Himalayan scenery, the cultural richness of Sherpa villages like Namche Bazaar and Lukla, and the challenge of altitude.

15 Days Mera Peak Climbing — Self-Launched

A self-launched version of the classic 15-day Mera Peak (6,476m) climb: fly into Lukla, trek the quiet Hinku Valley through Paiya, Panguam, Nagindingma, Kothe, Thaknak and Khare, acclimatise properly, then summit with a locally hired climbing guide and porter. Instead of a packaged group tour, you book the Kathmandu–Lukla flights, teahouses, permits and a Khare-based climbing guide yourself — all entirely doable solo. Costs are backpacker/budget estimates in GBP and exclude international flights to Kathmandu and travel insurance (mandatory for a 6,476m peak).

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Nepal (Khumbu / Mera Peak) yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn a completely impractical skill from a local — fire spinning, competitive coconut opening, whatever — and become weirdly good at it."
