Mardi Himal Trek Background
Mardi Himal trek offers an off-beaten path trekking experience in the Annapurna Himalayan region of Nepal. The trekking route to Mardi Himal was officially opened for trekkers in 2012, it provides access to the relatively pristine natural and cultural heritage of Nepal.
Trekking to Mardi Himal is one of the short and easy hiking trails in the Annapurna region where one can observe the marvelous Annapurna Sanctuary from a great top angle. Our 7 days Mardi Himal Trek package provides access to Nepal's cultural and natural diversity. With such diverse offerings, this trek is worth the 7-day time.
Our travel planners traveled the route to the Mardi Himal base camp before creating a route map. When the trekking route to Mardi Himal was opened the trails were not up to the standard, Nowadays the route is much better because of various teahouses/ lodges being opened on the way, and the quality of its offerings has also improved drastically.
Mardi Himal Trek Route and View
The journey to the Mardi Himal base camp starts with a bus drive from Pokhara to Dhampus and starts hiking towards Deurali, which takes 3 hours. En route to Deurali trekkers will trek past the wide grassy meadow hamlet of Australian Camp. And before heading to Pothana, you can enjoy the first panoramic mountain vistas.
Once your permits are checked the easy walking along the stone-paved trail leads trekkers to the first rest camp of Deurali. The outstanding view of Annapurna South (7219m) and Hiunchuli looms large from this place. The journey will head to Forest Camp from this place. The trail follows the outstanding forests of Rhododendron and varieties of other vegetation.
The trail to the base of Mardi Himal in December and January will be covered by snow, therefore, it is highly recommended to take a trekking guide during this season. During the monsoon, rain gullies could be a hindrance while walking which requires careful walking on the trail.
As we trek through the trail from Low Camp to High Camp, anyone will be the epitome of wilderness adventure. The trekking trail is rugged and rocky with a danger of falling stones. But once we reach High Camp, you will be amazed by the breathtaking view of Mount Annapurna South, Himchuli, and Fishtail from the top. Moreover, viewing the most craved touristic destination from untainted and less explored places assists in creating virgin holiday moments.
