  • Machhapuchhre or Fishtail is the second highest mountain of the Annapurna Range.
  • It has supposedly never been climbed.
  • It is considered holy by the people of Nepal as it has been untouched and therefore is pure.
  • It lies across Modi Khola in Pokhara.
  • Reflecting sunlight at early dawn, the holy mountain of Machhapucchre is an unforgettable sight.
  • The Fishtail mountain lies only 28 killometres to Phewa Lake.
  • It is one of the most photogenic mountains in the world .
The fascination with Fishtail lies purely in the fact that it has never (officially) been climbed. Although it is visually a splendid sight, there are many others in the Annapurna Range of similar status to appease the climbing fraternity. Trekkers, who form the vast majority of tourists in the area, are unlikely to want to venture any further up the mountain than the already accessible - and somewhat inaptly named - Machhapuchre Base Camp. The relatively few extra climbers who would be attracted to the region would not justify a decision to open the mountain, either financially or environmentally. Keep Fishtail sacred and let us all enjoy its unspoiled beauty from the correct perspective.
Mount Machhapuchhre is incomparable, thanks to its fish-tailed pinnacle. This features makes it one of the most renowned mountains in Nepal Himalayan range. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the snow-blanketed, needle-pointed mountain is a visual feast, to be least said. Mafestically protruding out in the skyline, the view of the mountain provides wings to the thoughts of the poets. Climbing on the mountain has been restricted, for it is considered sacred by the locals. Machhapuchhre mountain is known not only in Nepal but all over the world for its magnificence. Machhapuchhre' means fishtail and comes from two Nepali words Machha (Fish) + Puchhre (Tail).
For viewing Machhapuchhre from a close up, take a mountain flight from Pokhara that takes you on an aerial sightseeing tour of the Western Himalayas. Although the highest among the Western Himalayas is Annapurna I (8,091 m), it is Machhapuchhre which dominates all others in this neighborhood.
