Overview

Mardi Himal trek is one of the best trek for those who are seeking for short and less crowded. Every time a new trekking location is mentioned among the myriad others that lead into and out of the breathtaking Annapurna range, a slew of inquiries follow. What distinguishes this place from other travel destinations? The Mardi Himal walk, to start with, is unquestionably one of the best short treks and includes everything a perfect trek should have.

Off-the-beaten-path destinations, lively hamlets, charming, peaceful footpaths, and the Himalayas in abundance. This expedition will take you south of the magnificent Annapurna I, across the foothills of the Annapurna Range (8,091m).The Gurung people live in this little-traveled region, and their culture and distinctive way of life reflect this sense of authenticity and exploration. The Mardi Himal Base Camp, one of the most sought-after locations for Himalayan views, is the perfect place to take in the breathtaking splendor of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri Ranges.

Our journey across the Himalayas starts with a pleasant drive to the charming city of Pokhara. This beautiful city, which is referred to as the entrance to Annapurna, draws travelers from all over the world during any time of year. Before moving on, we will tour the World Peace Pagoda and Fewa Lake. The following day, we travel through the verdant woodlands to reach Kande.

Our journey officially starts as we proceed for Forest Camp on our first night of travel. The trek ascends through gorgeous rivers and spectacular waterfalls to reach the Mardi High Camp, passing the Low Camp along the way. The journey is through lush green forests decorated with rhododendron blossoming in colours of red, white, and pink.

We trek to the Upper viewpoint in the morning, where we can see the Dhaulagiri (8,167m), Hiunchuli (6,441m), Machhapuchhre (6,993m), Mardi Himal (6,687m), Annapurna South (7,219m), and many more Himalayan peaks. Before concluding our adventure back at Pokhara, we descend into Siding and take some time to take in the Himalayan splendor. The journey is over once you board a flight that returns you to Kathmandu.

FAQ

The Mardi Himal Trek is a popular choice for hikers looking for a less crowded and off-the-beaten-path Annapurna adventure. The Annapurna range, including Machhapuchhre (Fishtail) and Mardi Himal, is seen from here. The trail passes through a variety of scenery, including lush forests, rhododendron groves, and high alpine meadows. It delivers a shorter yet satisfying trekking experience, lasting 6 to 9 days. The Mardi Himal Trek is a superb opportunity to see the beauty of the Himalayas in a more private environment, thanks to the calm surroundings, tranquility, and unique cultural exchanges with Gurung communities.

The optimum seasons to go on the Mardi Himal Trek are spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). These months have the best weather and trail conditions for trekking in the area. The weather is nice in the spring, with clear skies and blossoming rhododendron woods giving vibrant hues to the environment. Autumn delivers clear skies, good visibility, and mild temperatures, allowing for breathtaking vistas of the neighboring peaks. With warm daytime temperatures and chilly nights, both seasons offer a pleasant trekking experience. Winter (December to February) can be very cold with significant snowfall, and the monsoon season (June to August) brings frequent rain showers, making them less suitable for the Mardi Himal Trek.

Yes, there are customizing possibilities for the Mardi Himal Trek. Access the Asia Treks provides flexible itineraries that can be adjusted to your own choices and needs. You can discuss the duration, certain places or areas you wish to see, and the amount of difficulty you are comfortable with our experts. Adjusting the amount of days, adding side visits to neighboring locations, inserting rest days for acclimatization, or having cultural activities along the road are all options for customization. You can construct a personalized Mardi Himal Trek that suits your interests and demands by conveying your preferences and collaborating with Access the Asia Treks.

The chance to suffer from altitude sickness during the Annapurna Short Trek is low. The highest point reached on this walk is normally around 3,210 meters (10,531 feet) at Poon Hill, which is not considered a dangerously high height. Individual sensitivity to altitude sickness varies, therefore it’s critical to be aware of the symptoms and take the required precautions. It is best to ascend gently, stay hydrated, and listen to your body. If altitude sickness symptoms such as headaches or dizziness emerge, it is best to descend to a lower altitude and rest until the symptoms pass. In terms of altitude sickness, the Annapurna Short walk is considered a rather safe walk. To ensure a safe and happy trekking experience, be prepared, keep a sensible pace, and pay attention to your body’s signals.
