HIGHLIGHTS
• Excellent close-up views of the Himalayan range
• Newly developed and less crowded trekking trail
• Enjoy several forest walks and gradual ascents up to 4500m
The Mardi Himal Trek/hiking in the Annapurna region is a perfect option for travelers looking for a new trekking adventure! This trek route has it all: diversity in the atmosphere, cultural highlights and great views of Annapurna Himalayas. Although the route officially opened only less than five years ago, it has received very positive reviews from trekkers. Comparatively short to other Himalayan treks, on this route, we will visit forests, base camps, and local tea houses where we will find overnight accommodation.
The trek begins from scenic Pokhara lake city, where we will drive to Kande, the starting point of our hike. From there onward immerse into beautiful walks along the culturally rich Gurung villages. During the spring season, enjoy beautiful views of rhododendrons that bloom perfectly which can be just another reason to embark on this adventure.
Stay at forest camp, low camp and high camp, where you can capture the best of sunrise and sunset views of Mardi Himal, Fishtail, and other surrounding peaks. We’ll arrive at the western side of Mardi Himal base camp, which is located at an elevation of 4500m, after which we hike back to Pokhara and finally to Kathmandu, concluding our Mardi Himal Trek.
