Mardi Himal trekking is a hidden and newly opened trekking route in Nepal. It’s one of the virgin trails in Annapurna region. Only a few trekkers make their way to the Mardi Himal Base Camp, spectacularly situated at the base of Mardi Himal and the impressive  view of  Machhapuchhre.

The trail goes along small paths through magical rhododendron forests, until you climb out of the forest at 3,300 m. The landscape changes quite abruptly into a rough high mountain landscape with amazing views of Mardi Himal, Machapuchre, Annapurna South and Hiunchuli.
From High Camp (3580m) you can climb in about 3-4 hours to Mardi Himal Basecamp which offers spectacular close up views of the entire Annapurna Range.

Itinerary

Arrival in Kathmandu and transfer to a Hotel. Evening briefing for the trekking.

After Breakfast full day Sightseeing in Kathmandu including Pashupatinath, Boudanath Stupa, Swayambhunath Stupa & Patan Durbar Square.

Our trail passes through lush forest dotted with the red rhododendrons. The flowers are a common sight in Nepalese hills and it is no surprise that it is Nepal’s national flower. Our trail is very quiet until we reach a clearing of the forest camp. We can take a rest and explore the area which is also known locally as Kokar. Overnight in Forest Camp.

We continue to walk through dense forests admiring Nepal’s rich biodiversity and reach the low camp. From here, the fantastic view of Mt. Machhapuchhre (Mt. Fishtail) up the valley is mesmerizing. We can spend some time in the evening observing the local lifestyle. Overnight in a low camp.

We trek uphill alongside a ridge towards Mardi Himal and Macchhapuchhre. The tree lines start getting thinner and the area mostly consists of shrubs with isolated rhododendron bushes along the trail. If lucky, we might even come across the Daphne pheasant (national bird of Nepal) on our way to high camp. We ascend up to the high camp, which is the final destination of the day. From here the mountain views are stunning. Overnight in high camp.

On our trek to the upper viewpoint we ascend and descend on a steep and narrow trail. Our trail passes through pastures and we hike along a narrow ridge before reaching the Upper Viewpoint. The view of the Himalayan vista from here is astonishing. We see Mardi Himal (5587m), Annapurna I (8091m), Annapurna south (7219m), Hiunchuli (6441m), Baraha Shikhar (Mt. Fang) (7647m), Tent Peak (5695m), Singhachuli (6501m), Machapuchhre (6993m) and others. We trek back to the high camp for an overnight stay.

We take a different route in the high camp that takes us to Sidhing instead of going back down to Mardi Himal. The different route lets us experience something different and makes our trek exciting. Siddhing offers a quiet stay for trekkers as it is tucked away from the busier trails. Overnight in Siddhing.

 

The trail climbs down steeply through rhododendron and Maple forest to the permanent settlements closer to the valley basin. Lwang is a self-sufficient Gurung village with rich culture and happy people. The village is the best place to watch Nepalese countryside lifestyle and enjoy the organic food. The village farmers also grow organic tea in 50 hectares of land. Farmers offer homestay accommodation. The waterfall in the outskirts of the village offers one of the most exciting canyoning adventures.

Lwang (1460 m) to Yangjakot (1545 m) and down to  Banskot (1100 m), back to Pokhara 4 hrs walk, 1 hr drive.

After breakfast,we will have a scenic Drive or flight back to Kathmandu.

After breakfast transfer to airport for your warm Departure
