Mardi
Himal is considered to be an ideal introduction to mountaineering
in the high Himalaya, particularly if you have limited time
available. No previous experience of high altitudes is necessary,
as every precaution will be taken to ensure gradual and thorough
acclimatization during the trek to the mountain.
Although
Mardi Himal is the shortest and probably the easiest of our
expeditions in Nepal, to maximize both your enjoyment and
your chances of success, you need. A major benefit of Mardi
Himal is the ability to climb it in a round trip of a little
over 2 weeks. It therefore makes a visit to the Himalaya a
real possibility for those who hitherto have not been able
to find the time to join a longer expedition.
This peak is located in
the east of the Modi Khola, across the valley from Hiunchuli.
It is separated from Machhapuchhre ridge by a col. and usual
route of ascent reaches this col (about 5,200m. /17,060 ft.)
and reaches the summit via a route on its east flank. Although
the mountain rises above the entrance to the Annapurna sanctuary
it is not often visited. The trek reaches and then follows
the Mardi Khola for 2 days before turning and climbing the
ridge line for 3 more days before reaching base camp around
4,100 m. /13,451 ft.
The climb has problems with
route finding and effort but little technical difficulty:
the couloirs leading to the col on the East Face can present
an avalanche danger with fresh snow. The climb begins by heading
steeply towards the col on the connecting ridge between Mardi
Himal and Machhapuchhre. High camp is usually placed just
below the final steep (45 degrees) couloirs leading to the
col (about 4,650 m. /15,256 ft.) From high camp, climb to
the col and turn west, ascending steep snow slopes to the
summit. Descend the same route.
