trip overview

One of the hiking peaks in the Annapurna Himalaya is Mardi Himal. It is located in the Kaski district at a height of 5587 meters. One of Nepal’s simpler Himalayan peaks to scale is this one. Situated below Mount Machhapuchhre, one of Nepal’s most beautiful alpine peaks. This place is 27 kilometers from Pokhara. You may enjoy the vistas sans the throng on the Mardi Himal Trek. Real teahouses, gorgeous rhododendron woods, and the best views of the Annapurna Himalayan Range are to be expected.

The less visited location, ecotourism, and natural hiking path in the well-known Annapurna region are called Mardi Himal Trek. Mardi Himal hiking is located beautifully at the foot of Mardi Himal, which is 5587 meters high, as well as the majestic Himachuli mountain range, the Annapurna range, and the city of Pokhara with its Fewa Lake. Because there are no communities and few hikers, Mardi Himal is a really peaceful trekking route. It started this voyage in 1961 AD. Trekkers may also take in the vibrant rhododendron blooms along the way in the months of March and April. You may get fantastic views of the Annapurna Massif’s lesser-known flanks on the Mardi Himal Trek.

The Mardi Himal Trek plan shows a 45-minute journey from Pokhara to Phedi followed by an ascent to the Dhampus Gurung settlement at 1650 meters. There is a stone-paved route that leads from Pothana (1890 meters) to Deurali 4500 meters, Kokar Forest Camp (close-up views of Ghandruk), Low Camp, High Camp, and Kali Danda (excellent views of mountain peaks, views of the Annapurna Trek, and the Pokhara Valley). Via Landruk, Ghandruk, and Ghorepani, we climb down to Kokar Forest Camp before descending to Pokhara.

The Mardi Himal Trek might be difficult to complete. But, this does not imply that you cannot succeed. You can make it if you enjoy hiking and make sure to start working out well before the start of your adventure. One of the hiking peaks in the Annapurna Himalaya is Mardi Himal. It is located in the Kaski district at a height of 5587 meters. One of Nepal’s simpler Himalayan peaks to scale is this one. Situated below Mount Machhapuchhre, one of Nepal’s most beautiful alpine peaks. Due to its calmness and grand vistas, Mardi Himal is becoming more and more well-known. If you’re searching for a quick and scenic hike in the mountains, this tour is perfect for you.

Although the typical Mardi Himal Trek is not challenging, hikers and trekkers should nevertheless be in fair physical condition. You are still traveling across Nepal’s Mountains, after all. There weren’t a lot of teahouses on this journey at first, but since about 2011, there have been more tea houses along the entire route from the beginning to the Mardi Himal Base Camp. The Mardi Himal Trek is among the top unexplored hikes in the Annapurna area. You have the option to deviate from the norm and hike to Annapurna Base Camp at a location where few others would choose to do so.
