Tour Overview

Mardi Himal Trek is newly opened and off-beat trek route in Annapurna region. This trek is alternative to Annapurna Base Camp in the hidden area with stunning view of Mount Fishtail, Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Himchuli and Manaslu ranges. The trek program starts in Kathmandu with pick-up for Tourist Bus and ends with drop at hotel in Kathmandu after drive to Kathmandu from Pokhara by tourist bus. Stay 3* hotel in Pokhara and local lodges during the Mardi Himal Trek. Trek route offers rural villages, incredible terrain, mind-blowing snow-capped mountains, and the changing flora and fauna ultimately taking you to Mardi Himal Base Camp (4,500m / 14,763ft). From the trek route, you get up-close views of Annapurna South, Mount Machhapuchre, and Mount Hiunchuli. In a way, this is an alternative trek to the classical Annapurna Base Camp trek. However, this trek takes us to Mardi Himal Base Camp, and this mountain opened for trekking in 2012. Though the Mardi Himal at 5,587m (18,330 ft) is a modest peak compared to Annapurna I at 8,091m, or Dhaulagiri at 8,167m, it has a charm that few other mountain ranges carry. Mardi Himal is one of the least climbed and visited peaks in Nepal. This is a short trek suitable for first-timers as well as experienced trekkers. Mardi Himal lies opposite Annapurna I and Macchapuchre.

Highlights

Mardi Himal Base Camp (4,500m)
Relaxing hot springs at Jhinu Danda
Mardi Himal High Camp (3,600m), Low Camp, Forest Camp (2600m)
Suitable for beginners and age groups
Off beat trek route alternative to ABC trek

Our Best Trip To Nepal. Highly Recommended

27-Oct-2016

I and My family spent 7 days in Nepal on Our private guided tour of all touristic cities. From the very start of our inquiry for booking a private tour, Mr. Kishor was responsive, listen to our requests and knowledgeable to make Best itinerary. Our guide Dev was very funny, informative and know how to make guest happy. The tour was more than expected. We saw all the sightseeing point which we wanted to and some we didn't even think of. We were transported in a nice air conditioned car from one city to another. We did Everest flight tour which was unforgettable and was recommended by agency owner. We really enjoy our Nepal trip. We recommend this agency highly for family tour. Thank you & Namaste
