Standing proudly at an altitude of 21,247ft/6,654m, Mera Peak is a popular trekking destination and is the highest trekking peak in Nepal. This fairly challenging trek is designed to cater to trekkers who are interested to explore a small Himalayan peak from its base to its summit. The view from the summit of Mera Peak is one of the finest in the Himalayas with five 8,000m peaks visible: Mount Everest, Lhotse, Cho Oyu, Makalu, and Kanchenjunga, as well as many other Himalayan mountains.
The first ascent of Mera Peak was on May 20, 1953, by Col. Jimmy Roberts and Sen Tenzing. The region was first explored extensively by British expeditions in the early 50s before and after the early ascents of Everest. This itinerary allows sufficient time for any reasonably physically fit person to make a comfortable ascent of this most spectacular Nepalese trekking peak. The best time for this trip is from September to December and March to June.
