Question 20

Is Internet Service Available During the Mera Peak Climb?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Wi-Fi is available at most teahouses up to Khare Camp, usually for an additional fee. However, the signal is often weak and unreliable. Beyond Khare—such as at Mera Peak Base Camp and High Camp—there is no Wi-Fi or mobile network coverage. Mobile data works in limited areas, similar to Wi-Fi, but coverage is inconsistent along the route. We advise trekkers not to rely on internet access for communication during the trek and climb, as connections are generally slow and unreliable. To use mobile 4G data, you need to purchase an Ncell or Nepal Telecom SIM card in Kathmandu. However, even with these providers, network coverage is not strong throughout the entire trekking region. In case of an emergency, your trekking or climbing guide will assist in arranging communication when possible. Select an element to maximize. Press ESC to cancel.
