Makalu

Mera Peak, at 6,476 meters (21,247 feet), is a popular trekking peak in Nepal, offering stunning views of Everest and nearby mountains with a challenging yet accessible climb.

Climbing to 6,000 meters (19,685 feet) presents significant challenges due to the reduced oxygen levels and harsher environmental conditions at high altitudes. At this elevation, climbers encounter the risk of altitude sickness, which can cause symptoms like headaches, nausea, and dizziness. The physical demands increase as the air thins, making breathing more difficult and requiring careful acclimatization to prevent serious health issues such as High Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE) or High Altitude Cerebral Edema (HACE). Proper preparation, including physical conditioning, acclimatization strategies, and experience in high-altitude environments, is essential. Climbers must also be equipped to handle extreme weather conditions and navigate technical terrain, making this a challenging yet rewarding endeavor.
