Mardi Himal is the shortest and probably the easiest of our expeditions in Nepal, It maximizes both of your choice; enjoyment and the success. Mardi Himal is the lowest and least climbed and visited peaks in Nepal than other Trekking Peaks. Mardi Himal Peak is (5,587m/18,325ft) height. This peak is located in the east of the Modi Khola, across the valley from Hiunchuli. It is separated from Machhapuchhre ridge by a col. and usual route of ascent reaches this Col about 5,200m and reaches the summit via a route on its east flank. Mardi Himal Expediton can be combined with trekking in the Annapurna Area in Nepal. From some viewpoints it seems little more than an outlier on the southwest flank of Machhapuchhare.
Once again it was Col. Jimmy Roberts who climbed to the summit by a route on its East Flank with two Sherpa in 1961. The normal route of ascent reaches a col from a glaciated amphitheatre that rises above a hidden plateau; the 'Other Sanctuary', as Roberts calls it. Although another route has been made on the southwest Face, Roberts' route is the only recorded line and the one used on most subsequent ascents.The peak has amazing view of the Annapurna ranges and spectacular one of Machhapuchhare the "Himalayan Matterhorn," better known as Fish Tail Peak. Few westerners visit the valleys and ridges south of Mardi Himal. They are steep sided and heavily wooded with bamboo and rhododendron. The dense and green forest high alpine pastures provide good grazing and a habitat for undisturbed wildlife. So, will be an exciting adventure to Mardi Himal with Great Adventure Treks & Expeditions in this isolated region within Annapurna range.
