Mount Machapuchare: The Unclimbed Mountain in Nepal

Mount Machapuchare: The Sacred Unclimbed Fishtail Mountain of the Himalayas
#machapuchare #himalayas #unclimbed
Machapuchare, sometimes spelled Machhapuchchhre or Machhapuchhre, is a mountain in Nepal's Gandaki Province that is part of the Annapurna massif. Its name means "fishtail" in Nepali. Since getting a permit from the Nepali government is impossible, its highest peak has never been officially climbed.
Seen from Pokhara, Mount Machapuchare is a sacred mountain that has never been officially climbed. There has been one allowed attempt to climb the sacred mountain by King Mahendra in the 1950s. The British team cam within 500 feet of the summit before turning around.
It is also reported that an illegal solo climb was attempted by a New Zealand climber, Bill Denz, making a successful yet illegal attempt to the summit in the early 1980s.
Mt Machhapuchhre is a beautiful mountain that can be seen from Pokhara, and Fewa lake. Not only is the mountain impressive and dangerous with its steep slopes, it is supposedly the home to Lord Shiva as well. With Mt Machapuchare being a sacred and religious place for Hindus, the untouched and unclimbed mountain may never be summited.
This video gives the history and importance of Machapuchare or Fishtail mountain.

Hello from Oregon, USA -- thanks so much for your well-produced and informative video short. For 2 1/2 years in the mid-1970s, I lived and worked near Luwang village in the Mardi River watershed about 7 hours NW of Pokhara. At that time, Pokhara was still a small town of just 26,000 people, and all travel in the region was solely on well-used foot trails. During my stay in this area, I traveled far and wide in the Annapurnas, visiting areas that have since become popular trekking routes including the Annapurna Sanctuary, Mardi Himal and the Annapurna Circuit when it first opened in 1977. Thanks again for bringing to mind wonderful memories of an adventurous and really fun time in my life. Best wishes to you.

Thanks Mark! I am also from Oregon - nice to always connect with someone from back home! I must say Pokhara and Nepal has changed a lottttt just since 2016 when I first arrived. Can't even imagine what it used to be like in the 70s. Would love to hear more about your time in Nepal - if you are interested, please do reach out to me by email! You can find it on my about section!\

Every mountain in Nepal is considered sacred and holy but its not...they are just a beautiful snow covered mountain

[@haydenrue]

Depends on who you ask I suppose! But I can't argue with them being beautiful snow covered mountains!
