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.
