Description
Mardi Himal is a 5,587-metre peak standing beneath the far more prominent Machapuchare in the Annapurna region of Nepal, from which it is separated by a roughly 5,200-metre col. The summit was first climbed in 1961 by Basil Goodfellow. What has made the name famous among travellers, however, is the Mardi Himal Trek — a teahouse trail formally opened in 2012 that has become one of Nepal's most popular short treks. It starts from Kande near Pokhara and climbs gradually through Forest Camp, Low Camp, and High Camp to the Upper Viewpoint and Mardi Himal Base Camp (~4,500 m), offering close-up panoramas of Machapuchare (Fishtail) and the Annapurna range above the treeline. The route is moderate and non-technical but relentlessly uphill, making it well suited to fit beginners who allow for acclimatisation.
