About Mardi Himal Base Camp Trek

Mardi Himal Base Camp Trek is the gem that has opened in the Annapurna region. Trekking to Mardi Himal has been recognized recently as has gained a lot of popularity in the shortest meantime. Mardi Himal Base Camp Trek is the trek to the southernmost summit of the Annapurna Mountains. Mardi Himal Base Camp Trek is the most utilized course up until this point of the route of Mardi Himal. Endeavors to move through the south divider have so far fizzled. The first ascent to Mardi Himal was in 1961 via the east wall. This trail and the Mardi Mountain’s discovery became possible only because of the photos taken by the Englishman Basil Good Fellow in 1953.

This trek invites hundreds of travelers throughout the year, and the number is increasing day by day. This trek encircles the wide range of mountains, floral and faunal beauties. Mardi Himal lies in the expansion of the south-west bone of its “elder sibling” Machhapuchhare (Fishtail) and is most noticeable from the south. The south-western divider has three particular shake stones with hanging ice sheets in the middle. The east divider is isolated from the Machhapuchhare edge by a go at 5200 meters. The most widely recognized climbing course is through this pass. The summit offers the loveliest perspective on the Machhapuchhare, different pinnacles of the Annapurna massif and other mountains like Himchuli, Ganga Purna, and Mardi Himal itself. During the trial, Modi river, steeper camps, uphill (ukalo), downhill (oralo) becomes the major attractions too.
