Nepal's highest trekking peak, climbed via the remote Hinku Valley away from the busy Everest Base Camp trail. Mera Peak (6,461m) is largely non-technical but the thin summit air demands solid acclimatization — this itinerary builds in dedicated rest days plus a contingency day for weather. From the summit, four of the world's five highest mountains — Everest, Kangchenjunga, Makalu and Lhotse — are visible at once.
