Tour Overview
Relatively an off-beaten trail in the Annapurna region, the Mardi Himal trek is an ideal trek with a blend of both natural and cultural aspects of Nepal. Leading you to the lap of Mardi Himal (5553m) & Mt. Machhapuchhre (6997m), the trek offers an opportunity to explore the unexplored. Get to know an authentic side of Nepal as you pass through lush rhododendron forest, diverse landscapes, and hidden valleys intact by modern society. Also, enjoy the views of peaks like the Annapurna massif, Mt. Hiunchuli (6441m), Mt. Gangapurna (7454m), and Mardi Himal (5553m), and Mt. Machhapuchhre (6997m), along with several other peaks in a short period of 10 days.
