Mera, the highest of the Trekking Peaks, forms a heavily glaciated mass between the Hinku and Hongu valleys, east of Lukla and almost due south of Everest. First climbed in 1953 by Jimmy Roberts and Sen Tenzing, it has in the last few years become 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 the Hinku or Hongu valleys, parties need to be self- contained which makes it even more attractive to those in search of a mountaineering adventure.

The quickest approach is the Zatrawa La, east of Lukla. Parties approaching from Jiri can reach the mountain form the south via the Hindu Drangka and Pangkongma. The normal route of ascent is via the Mera La north of the mountain and the wide, gently sloping glaciers that fall from the summit.
