The ascent to the Mera Peak is a very straightforward - even easier of, say, our Monte Bianco. As a consequence, there is all the time to enjoy the view during the ascent. I have given an idea of this in N.25709 - an atmosphere which did not impress so many Betrachters but, who knows, I guess that proposed by a German author it would have received twice that appreciation, so it seems unwise to draw conclusions about the atmosphere itself!
On the summit there are a lot of mountains on display, although in quite uneven way, since the mountain is quite decentrated with respect with the main Himalayan watershed. In the 360°, much more than in the reality, one notes the presence of the 16 m higher Mera North, which could be reached very easily but, you know, here you climb with permits, and you have to stick to what the paper says. The opposite of what I did three months later in Peru, where in the morning I did not yet know what I would climb that day...
Currently the Nepal Mountaineering Association features 33 trekking peaks, that is, mountains which can be climbed without an expedition permit. Seemingly, slightly higher than the Mera there are only the Singu Chuli and the Chulu East, respectively S and N of the Annapurna barrier; the slightly lower Chulu Far East is visible in N.25625.
