Description

For 27 days we would like to guide you on an adventure you will never forget. We would like to guide you to the top of the incredible Mera Peak (6,476m). From the summit of this great peak, you will get to see the mammoths of the Himalayas, from Mount Everest (8,848m) and Cho Oyu (8,201m) to Llotse (8,516m) and Makalu (8,481m).

This expedition is not just about the summit of the Mera Peak however. This trip is also about teaching you several of the skills needed to reach not just that summit, but future summits as well. Several days, in different, wonderful locations that include Sibuje and Tangnang, will be dedicated to training. You will learn ice climbing and glacier travelling techniques. And you will learn about how to deal with cold related illnesses, rope handling, crevasse rescue and much more. Furthermore, the time spent training in these locations will also help you get properly acclimatized, which is crucial when scaling a peak as enormous as the Mera Peak.

Throughout the trek, we will be visiting several cities, towns and villages. This will give you the chance to not just get a glimpse of, but to spend time in local Nepal. Thus giving you an opportunity to learn about and enjoy the wonderful culture of Nepal directly from its own people and places.

Due to the arduousness of the trip, and the length of it, participants on this trip must be in good physical condition.

Journeying to the summit of the Mera Peak is an adventure you will never forget. And it would be my pleasure to guide you there. If you would like to be a part of it, just send us a request.

We also lead a 17 day expedition to the base camp of Mount Everest as well.

Sandeep and his wife, Jasmine, are lovely guides! We did a 1 day intro to rock climbing excursion with them and we had a great time! They communicated well and provided us with a fun and safe day of climbing. They chose routes based on our experience and taught us a lot. I highly recommend hiring Miyar Adventures. We have already shared their info with friends and family.

Five days of awesome is all I can say. Glen our instructor and guide was extremely knowledgeable. I had previous glacier mountaineering experience and his techniques were so much more efficient than what I had been taught. To top it off we had a great summit day.

Whole group summited! Huge thanks to the guides for helping us all get there! It's certainly not an easy climb, but the entire experience was fantastic. Especially loved the snow skills training on the second day. Lots of fun was had practicing the self arrest & team arrest. The team arrest training was a huge confidence builder to see that I wasn’t going to take the entire team down if I fell The lead guide (Glen) was fabulous. You can tell he really enjoys sharing his passion for the outdoors with the guests on his trip. Folks in the store are super helpful as well. Sandeep (owner) is great, and have talked with him in the store & via email several times to get advice. Great pre-trip guidance (including a meeting the night before the climb to make sure you have all the gear you need & nothing you don’t), and you can tell how much Sandeep cares about making sure every guest has a great experience. Lots of reasonably priced gear rental options available here as well if you aren’t sure if mountaineering is for you. Considering a Kili trip while I’m still in good hiking shape, and they’ll be the first place I look at if I decide to book.

I took the Mountaineering skills course (5 days) in Baker. I learned so much about Glacier travel, rope management, crevasse rescue, and much more! Glen, our guide was awesome and highly knowledgeable. We also got to summit Mt. Baker during the course which was the most magical part! I HIGHLY recommend them!

Myself and my daughter climbed Mt. Baker with Miyar Adventures via Easton Glacier route, Simon was our guide. The whole experience was epic in many ways. Simon's knowledge is excellent, I would trust him 100% in any situations that may come up on the mountain. We learned a lot and it was fun. The overall organization from Miyar was great (including informational emails from Jake and communication with Sandeep). Great company that I would choose again in a heartbeat.
