Meera Peak is considered as most beautiful viewing point. From the summit of Meera Peak, finest view of the Himalaya with five 8,000m peaks visible, Mount Everest, Lhotse, Cho Oyu, Makalu, and Kanchenjunga, as well as other Himalayan peaks linked below. The standard route from the north involves high altitude glacier walking with easier climbing and skiing. The west and south faces of the peak offer more difficult & technical routes.
Trek to Mera base camp itself is one of the best trekking in Nepal. To reach there you can take flight to Lukla form Kathmandu or you can trek all the way to jiri to Lukla. Then instead of heading north towards Namche Bazaar and Everest, trek east towards the ridge of peaks that divides the Dudh Kosi from the Hinku Valley. Cross the Zatra La (15,000’ / 4600m) then descend steeply to the Hinku. Go north and east for for 2-3 more days to reach the Mera La (17,767’ / 5415m). The summit is now to the south and can be reached in one or two days of glacier travel. Proper acclimatization is key to having a good chance of reaching the summit. This expedition would be suitable for a climber visiting the Himalayas for the first time or keen in skiing.
