Mera Peak is the highest trekking peak in Nepal. The Mera Peak trek is superb. In any case it remains a popular destination due to its easy standard route, which requires only basic mountaineering skills to achieve an altitude considerably higher than a European or North American peak. The Hinku and Hongu valleys are spectacular Himalayan. wilderness From the summit of Mera you can see 5 of the 6 highest mountains in the world : Everest, Kangchenjunga, Makalu, Lhotse, and Cho Oyo. The standard route from the north involves little more than high altitude glacier walking. The ease of reaching this elevation may be its biggest danger but there are good weather and snow conditions are necessary for safety and success. The west and south faces of the peak offer difficult technical routes. The first ascent was done in 1953 - May 20 by Col. Jimmy Roberts and Sen Tenzing. The region was first explored extensively by British expeditions in the early 50's before and after the ascent of Everest. Members of those teams included Edmund Hillary, Eric Shipton and Jimmy Roberts was probably the person who can take most of the credit for establising the trekking industry in Nepal in the early 1960's. He was posthumously awarded the Everest National Award" by the government in May 2005.
