IMG 2024 Mera Peak Expedition Itinerary

Note on trip dates: These dates begin on Day 1, the day you arrive in Kathmandu and end on the day you are scheduled to depart from Kathmandu. If you wish to have an extra day at the beginning of the trip to beat the jet lag, arrive in Kathmandu a day early. We can help you make reservations if you arrive early (or stay longer) and you can pay for extra nights in Kathmandu.
