The Meru Massif rises above the upper parts of the Bhrigupanth, Meru,
and Kirti valleys. From the East, Meru looks like a long jagged ridge
falling down with 800-1200 m high, vertical slab walls. The ridge
contains a number of peaks, the most eminent of them being: Meru North
(6450m) and Meru South (6660m). Apart from these, Meru West (6361m)
lies on the ridge that connects Bhrigupanth and Meru North.
