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.
