January 6: Mardi Himal, a popular tourist destination in Annapurna mountain range, is ready to host the eighth edition of the Summer Ski Festival in February.

The event is being organized by the Sustainable Himalayan Fund from February 10 to 18.    

The week-long festival primarily aims to develop and promote ski tourism in Nepal, said Prabhat Adhikari, member of the organizing committee.

This edition of the Summer Ski Event has been named as the ‘Great Himalayan Ski Visit’.    

The estimated cost of organizing the event is Rs 1.6 million.  The organisers have allocated Rs 220,000 for the insurance of participants.

According to Chairman of the fund Ram Bahadur Thapa, the ski festival was earlier held in tourist destinations such as Manaslu and Kalinchowk.    

International ski coach Krishna Thapa Magar will coach and coordinate the festival, informed the organisers.

A local Sudeep Gautam believes that this event will help promote trekking along the Mardi Himal trail as well.
