Safety and altitude

Mera Peak Climbing, Direct Route reaches 6,476 m, which is very high altitude. Most people adapt well when they climb slowly, so the pace of the itinerary matters more than fitness alone.

How we pace it

The higher routes include acclimatisation days. Your guide checks every day how you are coping, can add a rest day, and will turn the group around if conditions or anyone's health make it unsafe to go on.

Know the signs

Headache, nausea, loss of appetite, dizziness and poor sleep are early signs of altitude sickness: tell your guide and do not go higher. Confusion, breathlessness at rest or unsteady walking are serious: descend at once.

Insurance and rescue

Travel insurance that covers medical treatment, air ambulance and helicopter rescue is a condition of booking. Check that your policy covers mountaineering up to 7,000 m. If an evacuation is needed, we coordinate it with your insurer.

Our crew

Our guides are licensed and come mostly from the mountain regions. Porters carry no more than 25–30 kg, are insured, and are never sent down alone when they are sick or hurt.
