It stands in the Mahalangur section of the Everest region. There are three different faces of the Mera Peak. Mera north face at 6,476m/21,247ft altitude, the central face at 6,461m/21,198ft altitude, and the South face at 6,065m/19,898ft altitude. The popular one is Mera central Peak while rest of the faces are not popular. Col. Jimmy Roberts and Sen Tenzing made the first climbing of Mera peak 6,461m/21,198ft on 20th May 1953AD. The highlights of this trek include the clear visibility of five major world’s highest mountains (above 8,000m/26,240ft from sea level); Mt. Everest (8,848m), Mt. Kanchenjunga (8,586m), Mt. Lhotse (8,516m), Mt. Makalu (8,481m), Mt. Cho Oyu (8,201m) and many other snowcapped high mountains.

Mera Peak lies in the Makalu Barun park on the border of the Khumbu region. At 6476m it's the very best of the Nepal Trekking Peaks, and commands one among the simplest viewpoints in Nepal. there are panoramic views taking in, among others, Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Makalu, Cho Oyo, Kanchenjunga, Ama Dablam, Chamlang and Baruntse. Climbers will use crampons to form the ascent, carry an extended ice axe for support, and use rope as a guide across the glacier on summit day. First-time users of those aids will be instructed of their use below base camp. The ascent from the Mera La is gradual and sustained, before reaching a brief, but straightforward climb up a 40-degree slope to Mera’s central summit. Note that the marginally higher North Summit is presently heavily crevassed and expeditions currently head for the Central Summit nearby (6461m).
