A Summit Beyond Expectations

Climbing Mardi Himal with Skyline Treks was one of the most rewarding challenges I’ve ever taken. The 17-day itinerary gave me time to fully acclimatize, train with the gear, and absorb the changing landscapes—from rhododendron forests to high alpine ridges. At 5,553 meters the summit view was nothing short of epic: Annapurna, Machhapuchhre, Dhaulagiri stretching as far as the eye could see. The guide team ensured safety, and the climbing gear was well maintained. I felt a true mountaineering experience, not just a trek.
