Ski Mera Peak
Overview
Ski Mera Peak
Our Ski Mera Peak expedition is the stuff of dreams.
Best of all, you don’t need to be an expert level or extreme skier to do this. This is for strong skiers and riders that want something special.
You’ll trek with our expert team to the summit of Mera Peak in the Everest region of Nepal. Here you’ll take in the best mountain panorama in the world. No exaggeration. Impossible to describe are the uninterrupted views of Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Kanchenjunga and Cho Oyu. Five of the world’s six highest mountains are right in front of you.
After the mandatory photos, you’ll click in and begin the most exhilarating 1500m (vertical) ski descent on the planet.
This expedition begins with an exciting 5-day trekking experience in the Everest region of Nepal. We’ll cross rivers, ascend high passes and marvel at the spectacular views daily. We’ll spend time in remote Sherpa villages and have a ball with our guides and porters as we approach Mera Peak.
Then comes three days on the snow and ice as we slowly climb to the summit of Mera Peak. From the summit we’ll then ski all the way back to the Mera La with Everest in clear view. Only a handful of skiers/snowboarders worldwide have ever experienced anything like this.

“The best of both worlds! The aptly named Trek Climb Ski’s trip to Mera Peak offers the once in a lifetime experience of skiing down a Himalayan Peak combined with a trek through a sparsely populated valley of jagged peaks and thundering rivers. I travelled with Gyan, Dor, Santa and their wonderful team in October 2018 – a family operation – and their professionalism, enthusiasm and faultless guiding made for an experience I will treasure forever.”

Premium Features
Our Ski Mera Peak adventure includes a private helicopter charter from Kote return to Kathmandu.
After days deep in the remote Himalaya, the helicopter ride from Kote to Kathmandu is an unforgettable finale. Lifting off from the tiny mountain village, you soar above rugged valleys, glaciers, and snow-capped peaks that seem close enough to touch. The flight sweeps you past towering Himalayan giants before descending dramatically into the lush foothills, finally emerging over the bustling heart of Kathmandu – a breathtaking transition from wild mountain isolation to vibrant city life in under an hour.
In addition, returning to Kathmandu by helicopter enables all our clients to enjoy a full day in Kathmandu at the end of their trip. This translates to hot showers, great food and even some last minute shopping.
