Mera Peak ClimbingMera Peak is one of the most fascinating and scenically beautiful trekking peaks in Nepal situated on the edge of famous Khumbu region. Standing tall at an elevation of 6476m, it is the highest permitted trekking peak of Nepal. Mera Peak Climbing is suitable for those adventure seekers who loves technical climbing and has a very good level of physical fitness.

Mera Peak climbing begins with a breathtaking flight to the famous airstrip of Lukla. Trekking from the south to the airstrip through the mystical and wonderful Hinku valley takes us to the base camp of Mera Peak. After staying overnight in the tent at base camp, we climb the peak on the early morning. Despite being physically demanding on the account of altitude, climbing Mera Peak is not technically difficult as the ascending is straightforward and all you need is the spirit and zeal to scale the peak.

The hard work of reaching to the top of Mera Peak is well rewarded with one of the supreme views in the Himalayas as five of the six tallest mountains in the world namely Kanchenjunga (8586m) and Makalu (8463m) to the east, Cho Oyu (8201m) to the west and Everest (8848m) and Lhotse (8516m) to the north can be seen from the summit which certainly is a remarkable experience.

                                  4. Altitude Sickness

                                  Altitude sickness, also known as Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), is a pathological effect of high altitude on humans, caused by acute exposure to low partial pressure of oxygen at high altitude. It commonly occurs above 3000 meters. It presents as a collection of nonspecific symptoms, acquired at high altitude or in low air pressure, resembling a case of "flu, carbon monoxide poisoning, or a hangover". However, most people can ascend to 3000 meters without difficulty.

                                  Primary Symptoms of Altitude Sickness:

                                  • Lack of appetite, nausea, or vomiting
                                  • Fatigue or weakness
                                  • Dizziness or lightheadedness
                                  • Swelling of hands, feet, and face
                                  • Insomnia
                                  • Shortness of breath upon exertion
                                  • Nosebleed
                                  • Persistent rapid pulse
                                  • Drowsiness
                                  • General malaise

                                  Prevention:

                                  Ascending slowly is the best way to avoid altitude sickness. Avoiding strenuous activity such as skiing, hiking, etc. in the first 24 hours at high altitude reduces the symptoms of AMS. Alcohol and sleeping pills are respiratory depressants, and thus slow down the acclimatization process and should be avoided. Alcohol also tends to cause dehydration and exacerbates AMS. Thus, Marvel Adventure strictly suggests avoiding alcohol consumption in the first 24–48 hours at a higher altitude.

                                  Guides and porters from Marvel Adventure are very much familiar with this problem due to their experience. All of them are trained with basic medical trainings and hence they definitely can help you.
