Highlights

Mardi Himal Trek is noted for being the lowest altitude peak  approved by  the Nepal Government for climbing. Mardi Himal exists at the close proximity of Annapurna Range and it demarks the southwest ridge of Fishtail Mountain. Southwestern face of Mardi Himal comprises three ridges and all of them are distinguished by hanging glaciers. Mardi Himal can be easily accessed from the lake city of Pokhara by covering 15 miles of distance.

Once arrived at the foothill of Mardi peak, we will follow the MardiHimal trekking route that stretches up through the eastern face of Mardi peak.

Mardi Himal  is an easy trek. You  absolutely  need zero climbing experience to aim for it. To add to it, Mardi Himal treks remains open throughout the year.
