This is probably the most important and toughest day in any mountaineering trip in this world. You find yourself waking up in the dawn with a high esteem and determination to make the summit of the peak a grand success. Then within a few hours, you find yourself climbing up the centre of the open snowfields. It is very necessary that you avoid crevasses. The route then swings towards the south-east, skirting below and to the east of the left-hand ridge before turning back rightwards towards the main summit ridge of Mera. It is the very point that you have dreamt to be in your life.

From the summit, you can see great spectacular mountain views, including Mt. Everest (8848 m), Mt. Kanchanjunga (8586 m), Mt. Lhotse(8516 m), Mt. Makalau(8485 m ) and more other mountains having over 7000m height.
