Mardi Himal Peak Climbing in Nepal

Mardi Himal Peak Climbing in Nepal

Mardi Himal lies less than fifteen miles north of Pokhara is the most southerly mountain of the Annapurna range. It is perhaps the least climbed or visited of the trekking peaks in Nepal. You will get to see beautiful mountain views, sparkling rivers and lush green terraced fields. Mardi Himal treks take you through beautiful forests, interesting villages and cultural diversity that one can see in the trail. This mountain drew the attention of westerner by the photographs of Bail Goodfellow in 1935. However, the first ascent was made in 1951 in this mountain. Jimmy Roberts, with two Sherpas, first climbed to the summit by a route on its west flank. Though there have been rumors of another route being made on the South-West Face, Robert’s route is the only recorded route for the ascents.
Mardi can be seen as a best from the south terminates the south-west ridge of machhapuchhre as a distinct and separate mass, exactly at right angle to the ridge. It seems little more than an outlier on the south west flank of Machhapuchhre from some viewpoints. There are three well defined ridges rising from the rock buttresses and separated by hanging glaciers in the south west face of Mardi Himal. The east face of Mardi Himal is separated by Machhapuchhre is separated by a col. Our trekking route ascent reaches this col. from glaciated amphitheatre that rises above a hidden plateau; so called other sanctuary by Roberts.
Mardi Himal climbing offers a superior view of all the Annapurnas along with the spectacular vista of the Himalayan Matterhorn : Machhapucchre. The mountain has a great deal of potential for small scale exploratory mountaineers despite its low latitude. The ridges present climbing challenges.
