Guiding, Food, and Camping
In Nepal, all trekking supplies - camping equipment, kitchen implements, food - are all carried by pack animals like mules, Yaks, and horses. Even Porters are common in Nepal. All trekkers are accompanied by a guide, a cook, and usually at least one horseman or yak herder. With the surest footing; they lead trekking groups across the passes. The horseman and cook will usually run ahead during a trekking day. They will have prepared a packed lunch for hikers and will go on to the night’s resting place to set up camp. They set up tents, cook dinner, and ready the area for arriving trekkers. When trekkers reach the campsite they are greeted with a hot cup of tea and biscuits in the dining tent. After six hours in the mountains, no drink will ever taste sweeter. For dinner, the cook will usually prepare a buffet of dishes that are as welcome as they are delicious.

Yes, an experienced climbing guide is highly recommended and often mandatory. Nepal's regulations require certified guides for most trekking peaks for safety and legal compliance. Guides provide route finding, glacier travel instruction, safety management, emergency response, and handle permits.
The best seasons for Mera Peak climbing are spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). Spring offers stable weather and warmer temperatures but can be crowded and has higher permit costs. Autumn provides crystal-clear mountain views and stable conditions with lower permit costs. Winter is extremely cold and challenging, while monsoon season (June to August) brings heavy snow and poor visibility, making climbing unsuitable.
Mera Peak climbing costs about $2,300.00 (All-inclusive price) per person. However, the total cost depends on several factors including season (peak season costs more than off-season), service level, transportation (flight or land transport), guide and porter ratio, and many more.
