Mera peak (6470 meter) is one of the more famous “Trekking Peaks” in Nepal. Mera Peak is in the east part of Nepal, which is east of Lukla. The ascent is not technically demanding, but unequaled views of Everest, Lhotse and Makalu will more than satisfy your aspirations.
The first ascent of Mera Central was on May 20, 1953, by Col. Jimmy Roberts and Sen Tenzing. Mera North is believed to have first been climbed by the French climbers Marcel Jolly, G. Baus and L. Honills in 1975. In 1986 Mal Duff and Ian Tattersall made the first ascent of the south-west pillar. The route is approximately 1,800 meters (5,900 ft) in length and graded at ED INF.
The standard trekking and climbing route from the north involves high-altitude glacier walking. The west and south faces of the peak offer more difficult, technical routes.
Mera Peak provides the 360-degree panoramic views of five of the world's highest mountains over 8000 m: Mount Everest (8848.86 m), Kangchenjunga (8586 m), Lhotse (8516 m), Makalu (8485 m) and Cho Oyu (8201m) as well as many other peaks of the Khumbu Region.
Lukla airport is the commencement point of Everest trekking. It is also the starting point of the Mera trek and climb. It takes 6–8 days to reach Mera Peak Base Camp from Lukla. The Mera Peak trekking approach leads through traditional Sherpa villages in Solu Khumbu and the pristine rhododendron, oak, silver fir, birch and Juniper forests. On the way you can see Mera Glacier and a beautiful alpine lake.
There are two routes to reach Mera base camp, one over Zatra-La pass to reach Khare Camp, which is the¨shortest way¨. Another is to visit Panch Pokhari (Chelemkharka) through Panggoma pass, then trek to Khare Camp. It is also possible to start trekking from Salleri or Jiri. If you start trekking from Salleri you need an additional three days and from Jiri you need 5/6 additional days. The longer routes benefit better acclimatization and fitness for the climb.
