Mera Peak lies in Sagarmatha National Park and contains three main summits: Mera North, (6,476m / 21,247 ft) Mera Central,(6,461m / 21,198 ft), and Mera South (6,065m/19,898 ft).
Mera is an attractive peak that rises to the south of Mount Everest. And dominates the uninhabited valleys of Hongu and Hinku. And this peak provides astounding views no. of the highest mountains on Earth. Though the true summit is North, it is hardly ever climbed.
