Mardi Himal is truly adventurous for
trekking peak climbing which lies less than 15 miles
from Pokhara and is the most southerly peak of the
Annapurna range. It is the lowest and the least climbed
or visited peak. Photographs of Mardi Himal taken in
1953 by Baisl Good fellow first drew the attention of
western climbers, and Jimmy Roberts who, with two
Sherpas, climbed to the summit by a route on its East
face in 1961.
The valleys and ridges south of Mardi Himal are steep
and heavily wooded with bamboo and rhododendron.
Obviously, the peak has superior view of the the
Annapurna ranges and certainly a fantastic one of
Machhapuchhare the better known as Fish Tail Peak. A
small number of westerners visit the valleys and ridges
south of Mardi Himal.
They are steep sided and heavily wooded with bamboo and
rhododendron. Above the forest high alpine pastures
provide good grazing and a habitat for undisturbed
wildlife. in spite of it lowly altitude the mountain
evidently has a great deal of potential for those
interested in small-scale exploratory mountaineering and
the ridges, already mentioned, present palpable climbing
challenges at a reasonable standard.

Equipments checklists -
climbing trips
In addition to the above list of suggested
trekking equipment, you should take along with
various items of mountaineering tools. For any
trip which has crossed by steep, snow-covered
ground, or which has included section of glacier
travel, it might be necessary for the group
roping up as a safety precaution. To facilitate
this process of roping up, you will need to
maintain a minimum requirement, a climbing
harness, a climbing sling and two locking
carabineers. Plastic mountaineering boots, a
mountaineering ice axe and a pair of crampons
with front points are the other items of
equipment, which are required for our trekking
peak trips. (Please note: Our recommendation
that you take no more than 33 pounds of trekking
equipment DOES NOT include your plastic boots,
ice axe, crampons or harness/carabineers. During
the trek, climbing hardware will be carried
separately from your personal trek bag in-group
bags until needed).
An explanation of the equipment that you will
need
Daypacks for climbing trips
3000-4000 cubic inches. For climbing trips, you
will be required to carry more warm clothing
during the climbs and also your personal
climbing gear. For this reason, you will need a
slightly bigger daypack than for a trekking-only
trip. If you have any questions about gear,
please do not hesitate to call our office for
advice.
Equipment Rental
In order to minimize your expense outlay for
trekking and climbing equipment you may never
use again, we offer a wide range of equipment
available for rent for the duration of your
trip. All rental equipment can be picked up from
your trip leader upon arrival for your trip
