Mardi Himal Trek is newly commenced trekking destination in the land of Himalayas. Located east of the Annapurna Base Camp, one of the most famous trekking trails in Nepal, Mardi Himal is often considered as the hidden gem by the adventure junkies. Unlike most of the trekking destinations in Nepal, very few travelers make their way through the narrow winding roads to the Mardi Himal Base Camp.

Mardi Himal Trek is relatively shorter in distance and is equally rewarding as any other trekking destination in Nepal. This trek offers an opportunity to explore off-the-beaten paths in the highlands along the winding trails, enchanting forests, high valleys, and traditional settlements. Hence, this trek is an ideal choice for both novices as well as experienced trekkers. Trekking in Mardi Himal also offers breathtaking close-up views of colossal mountains including Annapurna South, Hiunchuli and Machhapuchhre.

Beginning the journey from the beautiful city of Pokhara through the isolated path all the way to the base camp of Mardi Himal is certainly an experience of a lifetime. With the marvelous view of the mountains, traditional villages, high Himalayan valleys, captivating woodlands, and ever-changing landscapes, Mardi Himal Trek offers an authentic trekking experience in the highlands of Nepal.
