  • Mardi Himal Base Camp Trek 7 Nights 9 Days
  • Duration: 8 Days
  • Minimum Group Size: 5
  • Maximum Group size: 15
  • Max. Altitude: 3700 Meters

The Mardi Himal is the southernmost peak in the Annapurna range and is right next to Machhapuchre. The trend of trekking to Mardi Himal has been around for a long time, but it is only in the last 5 years that the trekking route has been fully developed. Therefore, it is not traveled by too many. So you can enjoy nature to the fullest and have the freedom to monopolize the entire trekking route. This relatively less-traveled trail offers a unique blend of pristine landscapes, dense forests, and stunning panoramic views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges. 

Package Highlights

  • Mardi Himal Base Camp: The trek's pinnacle is the Mardi Himal Base Camp (4500m), a vantage point that provides awe-inspiring views of Mardi Himal, Machapuchar, Annapurna South, and Hiunchuli.
  • Rhododendron Forests: En route, trekkers traverse through lush rhododendron forests, which are particularly vibrant in spring.
  • Alpine Terrain: As the trail ascends, the landscape transitions from forests to alpine meadows and eventually to rugged mountain terrain.
  • Local Villages: The trail leads through traditional Gurung villages, offering opportunities to engage with the local culture and lifestyle.
  • Peaceful Serenity: The Mardi Himal Trek is less crowded compared to some other routes in the region, providing a sense of tranquility and solitude.
  • Panoramic Views: Spectacular vistas of snow-capped peaks, deep valleys, and diverse landscapes are a hallmark of the trek.

Day 1: Arrival in Kathmandu

Upon your arrival in Kathmandu, you will be warmly greeted by a local guide. They will assist you in transferring to a comfortable 3-star hotel via a private vehicle.

Day 6: Descend

Following breakfast, you'll depart from High Camp and stop for lunch at Low Camp.

You'll spend the night in a lodge there, surrounded by the natural beauty of the area.

 

Day 7: Trek to Lumle and Drive to Pokhara After breakfast, you'll embark on a 3-hour trek down to Lumle. Along the way, you'll have the opportunity to take in stunning views of Machhapuchare and Mardi Himal. From there, you'll be transported to Pokhara by car.
