Duration: 16 Day
Mera Peak (6654m) is the highest permitted trekking) peak of Nepal. It is to the south Everest and dominates the watershed between the heavily wooded valleys of the Hinku and Hongu Dragkas.
The route used then 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 the efforts and hard work is paid off with the spectacular scenery as Mera provides one of the finest viewpoints in Nepal.
Mera peak offers a panoramic view of Chanlang, Kanchenjunga, Makalu and Baruntse in the east and the peaks of Cho-oyu, Amadablum and Kangtega to the west. Everest can be viewed in the north over the massie unclimbed south face of Lhotse and the Nuptse/Lhotse ridge under favourable conditions, it is possible to the peak and descend back on the same day.
