About Trip:
“Never say 'no' to adventures. Always say 'yes,' otherwise you'll lead a very dull life.”-Ian Fleming
Mera peak via Phaplu is one of the most amazing and adventurous trip in the Solukhumbu district of our country. Mera lies in Barun National park, which is a different route starting from Phaplu. Mera peak stands at the altitude of 6461 meters. To reach Mera peak we have to climb through beautiful hills and valleys. Starting our trip with a sightseeing in the UNESCO world heritage sites in Kathmandu, we make our grand walk to the Land of Himalayas. We don't take our way to the center of Everest region. But we rather take a turn through the the forests in the Barun National park. There are only some teahouses with simple quality. So, the trip is also going to be a bit of a challenge for us.
We, the Himalayan Traverse Adventure have designed this trip for adventure lovers and it was gives one a proper acclimatization and hiking experience. Mera peak climb via Phaplu takes you from the lowlans to the top of Mera peak with slow, gradual and interesting increase in the alitude which make the trip more safer from alititude sickness, fun and adventurous too.

Have fun with trust!
I spent very memorable days in the Everest region in Nepal. I used to dream to see this highest peak of the world and now I arrested it in my camera. My guide arranged everything and helped me a lot. He did not let me feel tired and boring.
