More Information
Mardi Himal Climbing is an excellent introduction to mountaineering in the high Himalayas, particularly for those with limited time. This expedition does not require prior experience at high altitudes, as the itinerary ensures gradual and thorough acclimatization. While Mardi Himal is one of the shorter and relatively easier climbing expeditions in Nepal, proper preparation and fitness are essential to maximize both enjoyment and success.
Located east of the Modi Khola and across the valley from Hiunchuli, Mardi Himal is separated from the Machhapuchhre ridge by a col at approximately 5,200m (17,060 ft). Despite its proximity to the Annapurna Sanctuary, this peak remains less visited. The route follows the Mardi Khola for two days before ascending the ridgeline over three days to reach the base camp at around 4,100m (13,451 ft). The climb offers breathtaking views of the Annapurna range, Dhaulagiri, Machhapuchhre, and Manaslu.
Upon arrival in Kathmandu, our representative will meet you at the airport and transfer you to your hotel. In the evening, a welcome dinner will be organized.
