Mardi Himal is a 5,587-metre (18,330 ft) peak beneath the much more prominent Machapuchare in the Annapurna region of Nepal, from which it is separated by a 5,200 metres (17,060 ft) col.[1] It was first summited in 1961 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,[3] with a further climb to "Base Camp" at 4,500m.[4] The peak itself is classified by the Nepalese government as a "trekking peak" and is offered by many expedition companies.
