This day is crucial for acclimatizing to the high altitude and preparing for the technical challenges of the climb. The primary goal is to help your body adjust, reducing the risk of altitude sickness and enhancing your chances of reaching the summit. You can engage in light activities, such as short hikes around Khare, which often involve gaining some altitude during the day and then returning to Khare for the night. This follows the principle of “climb high, sleep low,” aiding in acclimatization. Your climbing guide will conduct a training session covering essential climbing techniques for Mera Peak, including the use of crampons, ice axes, harnesses, ropes, and other gear. You’ll have the opportunity to practice these skills, which is particularly beneficial if you’re new to mountaineering equipment. It’s important to pay close attention to your guide’s instructions and ask questions if anything is unclear. The training will also include a safety briefing that discusses how to handle various situations you may encounter during the climb. Monitoring your health for any signs of altitude sickness is vital. Symptoms can include headaches, nausea, dizziness, and fatigue, so inform your guide immediately if you feel unwell. Staying hydrated and rested is crucial; drink plenty of water and take time to rest. Use this day to double-check your climbing gear, ensuring everything is in good condition and that you’re comfortable with your equipment. Spend some time mentally preparing for the summit push. It’s normal to feel a mix of excitement and nerves, but maintaining a positive mindset is key. Later, you can explore the Khare settlement, enjoy short walks, and engage with the locals. Take this opportunity to soak in your surroundings and learn about the Himalayan lifestyle. This spot is in a beautiful setting, so don’t miss the chance to capture the magnificent view of Mera Peak. Aim for an early night to ensure you’re well-rested for the climb ahead. This day is not just a day of rest; it’s a vital part of your summit strategy. The training and acclimatization activities are essential for building your confidence and skills for the climb. Embrace this day as an opportunity to prepare both mentally and physically for the challenge of reaching Mera Peak’s summit. Overnight at Tented Camp, breakfast, lunch and dinner included.

The route is still non-technical as we slowly climb higher into the ever-thinning air. The slope steepens for a section behind the ridge and the summit comes back into view. At the foot of the final steep summit cone, we may use a fixed rope if the climbing leader believes it’s required. The summit is only a few meters away.
