The Mera Peak climbing trail is an established route and destination for many climbers. Climbing in the Mera summit doesn’t require specific skills but still the high altitude over the 6000 m/19685 ft should not considered to be as simple issue.
The Mera Peak includes three principal summits, the Mera North with 6476 m/21247 ft height, the Mera Central at 6461 m/21198 ft heigh and the Mera South at its 6065 m/19898 ft height. Usually, it refers to the Mera North when talking about climbing in Mera Peak. The Mera Central is more demanding spot since its less familiar and explored trails can be independently organized in order for one can reach its slopes.
Over the last years, due to avalanches and land-slides, the morphology of the mountain has changed and the climbing paths were modified. The west and the south sides have more elabored technical trails. The surrounding Hinku Valley, one of the most pristine region of Nepal and the breathtaking view from the Mera Peak of five peaks at 8000 m/26246 ft. height pay you back the effort of this challenge.
Don’t miss the opportunity to experience this unique feeling!

Trisuli River Rafting is one of Nepal’s most popular river trips, ideal for everyone, from the most experienced kayaker to the first time rafter. It is also our home as we have built our fixed riverside camp.
It’s an ideal year round river (even during monsoon) just a stones throw away from Kathmandu providing a pool drop style of big volume river. This rafting trip will quench the white water desire of travelers with limited time in Nepal.
This trip leaves plenty of time to play rafting games, do some cliff jumps, swim, chill out and soak up the surreal atmosphere of Nepal’s River life. It conveniently ends at our tented river side camp, Gurung Valley. Why not extend your trip and enjoy a night at our 1 million star hotel and soak up as much river life as you can! Get off the bus and on the river!
Join us for some monsoon rafting to see how fierce this river can really get!
Whitewater Rafting: No previous experience needed to join a rafting trip on the Trisuli. Great for the first timer and families.
Kayaking: A fantastic warm up river for those going on to the bigger rivers in Nepal. Plenty of small rapids and a few challenging ones. The river is ideal for first time kayakers wanting to learn a thing or two about whitewater.

Trip departs from Kathmandu at 6.30am almost all year round (arrangements can be made from Pokhara or Chitwan on request and we take a short break during the monsoon months when the water is too high).
Once we get there, we will change at a small house at the bottom of the hill. There will be time for a quick cup of tea before a 20 min hike to the top where you will be greeted with a 100m waterfall, one of the most beautiful places in Nepal. Whilst your guides get all the equipment ready, you’ll have time for a photo opportunity under the epic waterfall or a quick dip in some of the natural pools. You will then be provided with a harness, life jacket and helmet and after a comprehensive safety briefing we’ll start teaching you how to climb and abseil and we are ready to go…
The trip starts with a jump into the canyon, it will get your heart beating right from the very beginning!
The largest waterfall we run is around 26 m. Sometimes we slide and sometimes we jump directly into the clear pools. After around 3 1/2 hours of adrenaline fueled fun we’ll stop for a picnic lunch in the canyon before we drive back to Kathmandu, Chitwan or Pokhara or if you prefer, come and spend a great night at our Trisuli River Camp, Gurung Valley. A trip definitely not to be missed!!!
