Overview
Mardi Himal trek is one of the short and easy treks around the heart of the Annapurna region. The trekking route is similar to the Ghorepani Poonhill Trek but the scenery is way more incredible with breathtaking views of the glorious Annapurna Himalayan range and famous Machhapuchhare(Fish Tail) peak.
Mardi Himal trek is located between the Annapurna Base camp and GhorepaniPoonhill Treks which lets you escape from the crowded trekking route around the Annapurna region. You will get to experience the beautiful Scenic natural landscapes with white snowcapped mountains, exploring unique natural vegetation, and enjoying the diverse Nepalese cultures in the rural areas.
On the way to Mardi Himal, we negotiate numbers of flat, steep, and moderate mountain trails through the lush forest full of beautiful rhododendrons. We ascend up to the Mardi Himal base camp located under the glorious Machhapuchhre Himal famous as Fishtail peak. We get to see the best, never seen before views of these mountains all around.
Our Mardi Himal trek Starts from the beautiful Pokhara taking the ride up to Kande. From Kande onwards, we trek into the forest camp passing the Australian camp and Deaurali. After passing the Forest we come across the different landscapes where we have to pass through the Rocky steep path. We rise above 3000m altitude. We keep on ascending to reach the high camp (3580 m). The thin and dwarf vegetation confirms altitude, so we walk at a gradual pace.
We reach the viewpoint afterward from where we can see the Machhapuchare and Annapurna Range so close to us. We capture some moments with these majestic mountains and head back shortly afterward.
Mardi Himal trek is well known for its pristine location, considered as one of the best ones in Nepal. We get to experience the great adventure and thrill of this wonderful trek to Mardi Himal. We ascend through the alpine forest full of beautiful white and red Rhododendron passing through different villages enriched with diverse ethnicity trailing through the rocky and steep landscapes. If you want to go for this trek visit Nepal from the beginning of March to the end of May with our Companions to make wonderful memories of your vacation.

The default route, however, is to take a bus through the Prithivi Highway for about 6-7 hours, following the Trishuli and Marshyangdi rivers. We’ll arrive at Pokhara in the afternoon, with just enough time for some boating in Phewa Lake. Eitherway, we’ll spend the night in a hotel in Pokhara.

Once we’ve had our fill of the view, we will steadily descend back down all the way to low camp.

Yet again, there are two ways to approach our trip back to Kathmandu. You can have a short scenic flight that’ll take you less than an hour. If you choose to do so, you will have a day to explore the capital and its popular spots including Pashupatinath temple, Boudhanath stupa, Swayambhunath stupa and the old palaces (Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur Durbar Squares). However, the default route will be to take a bus and retrace our tracks the same way we came.

You will have the opportunity to get any souvenirs or mementos that you may want during this time.
