Mardi Himal peak climbing is the most southerly peak of the Annapurna range in Annapurna region. Mardi Himal peak is the lowest and least climbed peak. The photograph of the Mardi Himal (in the foreground) was taken in 1953 by Baisl Good fellow and it drew the attention of western climbers. The first ascent of Mardi Himal was in 1961. The first route was via the east flank and it is the only one used so far.

Mardi Himal peak climb separates the southwest ridge of fishtail as a separate mass at right angles to the ridge and it is best seen from the south. The southwest face of the mountain has three well-defined ridges rising from rock buttresses and separated by hanging glaciers. Mardi Himal Trekking peak east face is separated from the fishtail ridge by a col at 5200m.

Note: As per the decision of Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation, mountains of the height less than 5800m will be promoted as trekking peaks and royalty fee has been waived for those peaks. Hence, the following peaks managed by Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA) are free of royalty fee from now on wards (2014 September 23rd).
