A closer look at the journey.
This programme is a mountain climb on Mardi Himal rather than the familiar trek to its viewpoints. The route approaches from the Pokhara side through Odane Hill, Kumai and Khorchon, then establishes a climbing base. Forested foothills give way to steeper mountain terrain, with views towards Machhapuchhre and the Annapurna range.
The programme combines an approach trek with time for climbing preparation and a summit attempt. Snow, glacier conditions and weather can change the route and daily plan. Tell us about your mountain experience before booking so that we can agree the equipment, guiding and preparation needed for this particular climb.
- Southern approach through Kumai and Khorchon
- A dedicated Mardi Himal summit objective
- Annapurna and Machhapuchhre mountain setting

Is the summit attempt on a fixed day?
