Mera Peak is the highest permitted trekking peak of Nepal. It stands to the south of Everest area. It is also the most popular trekking peak for climbing.

Climbing from standard route (Lukla-Thagnag-Base camp and above) is not a difficult. Somehow, there are several routes and some of them are very strenuous, resulting often return backs before reaching to the summit. In favourable conditions, it is possible to climb the peak and descend back on the same day from high camp. The summit is one of the most beautiful view points in Nepal.

From the summit of Mera Peak a panoramic view of Chamlang, Kangchanjungha, Makalu, and Baruntse in the east and the peaks of Cho-Oyu, Ama Dablam and Kangtega to the west is awesome. Everest can be viewed to the north over the massive unclimbed south face of Lhotse and the Nuptse/Lhotse ridge. Mera Peak are is meeting point of few very strenuous trekking such as across Mingbo-la and Amphulabtsa. Some people combine their expedition with this adventurous trek and some approach the peak from normal route and come back to Lukla.
