| Mardi Himal Climbing in Nepal |
| |
Mardi Himal climbing is the m ost southerly peal of the Annapurna massif range and Mardi Himal (5,587m) is the lowest and least climbed peak in Nepal. Mardi Himal is located less than 15 miles from Pokhara. Photographs of Mardi Himal taken in 1953 by Baisl Goodfellow first drew the attention of western climbers, and the mountain received its first ascent in 1961. The first route was via the East Flank and is the only one used so far.
Mardi Himal separates the southwest ridge of fishtail as a separate mass at right angles to the ridge and it is best seen from the south. The southwest face of the mountain has three well-defined ridges rising from rock buttresses and separated by hanging glaciers. Its east face is separated from the Machhapuchhare ridge by a Col at 5,200 meters. The normal climbing route to the summit of Mardi Himal passes through this col. The summit offers a splendid view of the Annapurna Range and the Fishtail Mountain. The valleys and ridges south of Mardi Himal are steep and heavily wooded with bamboo and rhododendron. Alpine pastures above the forest provide a good habitat for wildlife.
You can start this trip from Naya pull and famous trekking Ghorepani Poon Hill, and trek decent to chumrong,Landruk and you will have spectacular view of Dhaulagiri, Tukuche peak, Nilgiri, Annapurna as well as Mt. Manaslu. The valley and ridges south of Mardi Himal are steep and heavily wooded with bamboo and rhododendron.
