Mera Peak
 Mera Peak (6,654
m) is the highest permitted trekking peak of Nepal. It stands
to the south of Everest and dominates the watershed between
the heavily wooded valleys of the Hinku and Hongu Drangkas.
J.O.M. Roberts and Sen Tenzing made the first
successful ascent of Mera Peak on 20 May 1953. The route they
used is still the standard route. There are many other routes
to the peak, but none of them are easy. Some of them require
crossing very high and difficult passes. This leads to a true
mountaineering experience. In the end, all efforts and hard
work is paid off with spectacular scenery as Mera provides
one of the finest viewpoints in Nepal.
Mera Peak offers a panoramic view of Chamlang,
Kangchenjunga, Makalu, and Baruntse in the east and the peaks
of Cho-Oyu, Ama Dablam and Kangtega to the west. Everest can
be viewed to the north over the massive unclimbed south face
of Lhotse and the Nuptse/Lhotse ridge. Under favourable conditions,
it is possible to climb the peak and descend back on the same
day.
