Mera peak

The peak Mera (6476m) is located in Everest. It is without doubt one of the most beautiful trekking peaks in Nepal. J.O.M Roberts and Sen Tenzing made the first ascent of Mera peak on May 20, 1953. Their route is the most used, but there are other more or less easy routes to reach the summit. The trek is done in 12 days. An attractive glacier route, with a regular ascent for good acclimatization. From the top extends one of the most beautiful panoramas in Nepal. A breathtaking view of the great Himalayans: Chamlang, Kangchenjunga, Makalu, Baruntse to the east and then Cho-Oyu, Ama Dablam and Kangtega to the west. To the north, you can see Everest and the untouched south face of Lhotse and Nuptse.
