Thanks guys for the comments.

Hi Mega,

Ya... kind of agree with you that there is not enough of the sky. It usually happens when I take the pano handheld resulting the frames not exactly vertical, so a portion of the sky is cropped out due to imperfect stitching.

Hi NuTs,

Yup we were at the summit at 6461m. And yup we have 3 climbing sherpas (guides) with us (a team of 7 climbers) on this trip. We went on to climb Island Peak after Mera, and then went around Khumbu area to visit Everest base camp, Gokyo and other places.
