It was very difficult and tiring to climb Mera Peak but the motivating team of Nepal Everest base camp helped to successful climb up to the peak. The views from here is beyond imagination. About 5 of the world's highest mountains above 8,000m is visible from here. Beautiful scenic small hills, villages, farmlands add extra features to the scenery. Doing Mera Peak climbing worth it.
