Overview of Mardi Himal Trek

The Annapurna Region of Nepal is home to the Mardi Himal Trek. The Mardi Himal Trek in Nepal is a peaceful and lovely hike in the mountains. It is close to Pokhara in the Annapurna area. This walk is perfect for folks who want to view enormous mountains but don’t have a lot of time. It feels more peaceful and natural because there aren’t as many people there as there are on the Annapurna Circuit and Annapurna Base Camp.

You will trek through green forests, little hills, and settlements in the mountains along the trail. You can see several spectacular mountains, such as Annapurna South, Machhapuchhre, and Hiunchuli. The path is clear and safe, so people at all skill levels can enjoy it.

A Look at the Mardi Himal Trek Itinerary

Usually, the Mardi Himal hike starts in Pokhara. You walk a little higher into the mountains every day. You travel through villages, colourful rhododendron forests, and wide-open mountain slopes on the route. You get at Mardi Himal Base Camp at the end.

This walk usually takes four to six days to complete. It is easier than big hikes like the Annapurna Circuit trek because it is short.

Places to Stay Along the Trail

You will stay in small local inns known as tea houses. These places are basic but comfortable. They feed you, offer you a place to sleep, and are nice to you. The lodges get simpler as you move up, but the vistas of the mountains get better.

The tea houses along the Mardi trip are quieter than those along the Ghorepani Poon Hill trip or Annapurna Base Camp walk. This makes the trek more serene.

Height and the Chance of Getting Altitude Sickness

Mardi Himal Base Camp is the highest point on the route. It’s high, although not as high as some other hikes in Nepal. If you walk carefully, drink a lot of water, and get enough sleep, the chance of getting altitude sickness is low. This walk is a fantastic choice for first-time trekkers because it is at a safe height.

The Mardi Himal Base Camp Experience

The finest part of the hike is getting to Mardi Himal Base Camp. You can see the mountains really clearly from here. The vistas of Machhapuchhre and the Annapurna range are breathtaking. The fact that the place is quiet and tranquil makes it incredibly remarkable.

The Poon Hill Trek and the Mardi Himal Trek

A lot of people go to the Poon Hill Trek and the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek to see the sunrise. There are less people on the Mardi Himal Trek, and the vistas of the mountains are closer.

The Mardi trek is a wonderful alternative in the Annapurna region if you want a quiet trek instead of a busy one.

  • Not as busy as Annapurna Base Camp or the Annapurna Circuit
