Tour Overview

The Mardi Himal trek is an ideal choice for those who want to experience the beauty of the Himalayas without the physical demands of more challenging treks. This trek is suitable for beginners to moderate trekkers, as well as families with children. The trek offers breathtaking views of the Annapurna, Mardi, and Machhapuchhre Himalayas throughout the trail. You’ll also be surrounded by lush green forests, charming villages untouched by commercialization, and a variety of Himalayan birds and wildlife. As you trek, you’ll see traditional yak herder huts and have distant views of the horizon. One of the best parts of the Mardi Himal trek is the opportunity to witness the daily lives of people in remote areas of Nepal. The trail passes through interesting villages, and you’ll get a chance to see firsthand how locals live in the Himalayas. You’ll also witness the actual trails that people use for their daily activities.

Check out our Q&As

What Kind Of Physical Fitness Is Required For The Mardi Himal Trek?

The Mardi trek is moderate to the strenuous level of the trek. Although being just 8 days, it throws challenges all over the trail. Therefore, a good level of fitness is required to trek this site. You must be comfortable walking several hours a day with a backpack on. If you have any medical conditions, it is best to consult your doctor before embarking on the trek. The cold temperature and extreme altitude may be problems that may later haunt you.
What Is The Altitude Gain During The Mardi Himal Trek And How Does It Affect Trekkers?

When talking about the absolute peak, you reach an altitude of approx 4500 meters, the Mardi Base Camp. This will take you around 5-6 days of taxing walks. As you gain altitude, the air pressure and oxygen levels decrease, which can cause altitude sickness in some trekkers. Symptoms of altitude sickness include headache, nausea, fatigue, and shortness of breath. It is important to acclimatize properly by ascending slowly and taking rest days if necessary. Moreover, consulting a doctor before trekking these sites may benefit you in the long run. As these remote areas are not that great when it comes to health care.
What Are The Permits Required To Do The Mardi Himal Trek?

To do the Mardi Himal Trek, you will need to obtain two permits: the Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP) and the Trekkers’ Information Management System (TIMS) card. The ACAP permit costs 3000 NPR (approximately 30 USD) and the TIMS card costs 2000 NPR for individuals and 1000 NPR for groups. These permits can be obtained in Kathmandu or Pokhara.
What Is The Difficulty Level Of The Mardi Trek?

The Mardi Himal trek is generally considered to be of moderate difficulty. While it doesn’t involve technical climbing, there are steep ascents and descents. Adequate acclimatization and a reasonable fitness level are crucial to navigating the terrain comfortably.
Do I need a VISA to enter Nepal?

A visa for Nepal is to be obtained before departure from your home country or a visa can obtain at Kathmandu Airport. It is to note that your passport must be valid for a minimum of 6 months after your return and 2 passport size pictures needed. For more detailed information please visit the information page on the Department of Immigration for VISA information.

How long do we walk each day?

All our trekking programs are classified into THREE different categories according to the level of difficulty. Soft Adventure treks are only about a week to 10 days in duration. They generally don’t go above 4000 meters and each day, you can expect to be walking for around 4 – 5 hours. While moderate to fairly challenging treks are longer treks that go right into high mountain country. Physically quite tiring, these involve approx 6-8 hours trekking along rocky ridges of high Himalayan peaks. Strenuous treks are longer treks that go far beyond the normal haunts of trekkers and tourists. Physically challenging, these may involve 7-9 hours trekking and likely to include unfavorable weather conditions and strenuous activities. It’s not for beginners.
Do you arrange private treks?

Yes, we do. If you would like to travel independently, or with your friends, families & colleagues you are invited to choose any of the trips at your convenient timeframe for any number of people (minimum 1 & maximum 100 at a time). The cost for the private trip is fixed based on group size, trek area, duration, and trek style, and is negotiable. We also arrange TREKS FOR SINGLE WOMAN. If none of our fixed group departure dates work for you and you do not have anyone to accompany you, you can still be able to make your preferred trip with us. There is absolutely nothing to worry about making it a solo trip. We assign local guides, porters, etc who you can trust your life with.
Do I require Travel Insurance?

Yes. Travel Insurance will ensure your safety and security throughout the trip. Travel insurance with maximum medical cover is mandatory for all trips to Nepal.
Which Language your guide prefer to explain?

Perfectly we prefer our guide to speak English. However, we will provide mostly, French and Russian guides as per your request. The cultural tour guides are quite proficient. The trekking guides speak a English fluently, good enough to explain about the places, local culture or any sight that catches your eyes.
