Mardi Himal

Mardi Himal is a 5,587 peak beneath the much more prominent Machapuchare in the Annapurna region of Nepal, from which it is separated by a 5,200m col.[1] It was first summited in 1951 by Basil Goodfellow.[1]

In 2012, the Mardi Himal Trek was opened, following a ridge towards the summit, with lodges and teahouses open to an elevation of 3,550m,[2] with a further climb to "Base Camp" at 4,500m.[3] The peak itself is classified by the Nepalese government as a "trekking peak" and is offered by many expedition companies.
