Mardi Himal is is a gem hidden in plain view at less than 15 miles from Pokhara it remains amongst the least climbed peaks in the area. It is the most southerly peak of the Annapurna range. Photographs of Mardi Himal taken in 1953 by Baisl Goodfellow 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. This peak has breathtaking views of the the Annapurna range and a fantastic one of Machhapuchhare (better known as the Fish Tail Peak). Above the forest high alpine pastures provide good grazing and a habitat for undisturbed wildlife.
