Mera Peak is considered the best summit to start mountain climbing, as the summit is only 6,467 meters.

Therefore popular with beginners, the best time to climb Mera peak in spring and fall as the weather is clear, the sky is clear, and spectacular views of the Himalayas can be obtained, plus the rate of success is definitely higher.
