On the initiative of Nepal Mountaineering Association, High Altitude Guide Riten Tasi Sherpa and Ashish Gurung have left for Mera Peak area for rescue operation. Both of them are internationally recognized guides.

Taejung Park, a 46-year-old Korean citizen, and Sherpa guide Temba Sherpa have been missing since Saturday after the weather worsened. 

The area where they were lost is between Mera High Camp and Mera Peak, about 300 meters below the peak.

They started their journey towards the peak for climbing Mera Peak at around 3 am on Saturday morning .

'Nepal Mountaineering Association has mobilized professional mountain guides for rescue operations . We extend our best wishes for the safety and success of the rescue team and hope for the safe rescue of the missing climbers and guides," said Phurba Galgen Sherpa, president of the association.

My picks are in the Everest region . This mountain with a height of 6,476 meters is located to the east of Everest . Mera Peak is considered the highest trekking peak in Nepal and is popular with climbers for challenging but not too technical climbs. 

It is popular among mountaineers as you can see spectacular views of Everest, Lhotse, Cho Oyu, Makalu and other mountains from the top of this mountain.
