Mera Peak is situated in the Sagarmatha zone in the Solukhumbhu district standing at an altitude of 6,476m. The highest of the trekking Peaks at the range of 6,000 to 6,500 meters, forms a heavily glaciated mass between the Hinku and Hongu valleys, east of Lukla and south of Everest. First climbed by Jimmy Roberts and Sen Tenzing, in 1953. In the last few years, it was one of the most frequently climbed mountains on the list. Its popularity is undoubtedly due to both its altitude and technical simplicity.
As there are no lodges in either Hinku or Hongu valleys, trekkers need to be self-contained which makes it even more attractive to those in search of mountaineering adventure.
Mera Peak is quickest approach is the Zatrawa La, east of Lukla. Groups approaching from Jiri can reach the mountain from the south via the Hindu Drangka and Pangkongma. The normal route of ascent is via Mera La north of the mountain and the wide, gently sloping glaciers that fall from the summit.
