Mera Peak is a mountain in the Mahalangur section, Barun sub-section of the Himalaya and administratively in Nepal's Sagarmatha Zone, Sankhuwasabha.
In September 2017, Hari Budha Magar summited Mera Peak, becoming the first double above-knee amputee to climb a mountain over 6,000m in altitude.
[9] On 6 May 2024, a team from Cyprus set the Guinness World Record for the highest altitude fitness session on the summit of Mera Peak.
Along with Trevor Jones, Evgenia Konstantinou and four sherpa guides they took part in a 30-minute workout session that included squats, planks, pushups and other exercises.
For experienced climbers it is a technically straightforward ascent, the main hurdle being proper acclimatization to the high altitude.
