Mera Peak (6,461 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.
This small expedition to the highest and most popular trekking peak in Nepal is mainly a high-altitude trek and climb, people need to be fit and conversant with the use of an ice-axe and crampons. Instruction in the use of these will be given in Kathmandu and also at our base camp near Mera La if required. The climb itself necessitates establishing a high-camp at 5,800m on the Mera glacier before attempting the summit the next day. The climb itself takes the north face glacier; it is a steady push to the summit ridge which leads somewhat precariously to the top.
