Known for its isolated glaciers and formidable high mountain passes, Mera Peak is the birthplace of legends, the likes of which include Edmund Hillary, Tenzing Norgay, Eric Shipton and George Lowe.

Mera Peak is perhaps the best known because it is Nepal’s highest trekking peak, with the Mera North summit at 6,476 m, being the highest of the 3 Mera Peaks, also known as the True Mera Peak.
With unrestricted views of the Himalayas and five 8,000 m peaks that include Everest, the first to reach the true summit were the Frenchmen Marcel Jolly, G Baus and L Honills in 1975.
