Easy, beautiful and calming escape into Annapurna - In summary, this a fantastic short trek with lovely village stops and great views of the valley and Annapurna range. A lovely, quiet and easy escape from Pokhara. The agency and guide was professional and reasonably priced, and got me on my feet instantly. I wanted to travel solo but not alone and Sisne was very accommodating. I walked into Sisne Rover looking for a guide to take me along the Mardi Himal route. Hira in the office arranged the whole thing for next-day departure in about 15 minutes. I also met my guide, Milan, who expediently sorted out the ACAP permit. I was all set! Milan was a superb and knowledgeable companion and will sort you out with whatever you need. I arrived as a guest and left as a friend. I wanted to do the trek solo at my own pace. Milan was great company. Our conversations were light and friendly and I learned a lot about the region. He also gave space when I desired it. The choices for overnight stays were very good and I met up with a number of other trekkers even as we headed into the quiet season. I highly recommend Milan and would hope to have him on another trek in the future. As for the trek itself, we started at Baskot and meandered steeply to the ridge which begins to carry us to Mardi Himal. On day one we pass temples and through quaint villages. The remainder of the trek takes you through beautiful dense forests before you reach Low Camp, where the Annapurna range and Machhapuchhre reveals itself in all its glory (weather permitting, which it did not for me, pray to Shiva). There are super vistas all along the route from High Camp to the lookouts given the steep ridge you follow to get there. The tea houses and lodges are very reasonable with only the High Camp stop offering the most basic facilities. The trails were very lightly trafficked when I was there in late May. I packed a 22L day pack which was just sufficient for the 4 nights - 1 day wear, 1 thermal layer for nights, 1 fleece. I didn’t pack shorts, which was a mistake in the warmer Month of May. The trek could probably be done in three nights if you’re in pretty good shape.

Mardi Himal - My life’s dream of trekking the Himalayas was VERY important to me so I am very grateful to an old friend for his recommendation. I chose the Mardi Himal trek and my designated guide/porter, Krishna, was strong, patient, knowledgeable, and good company. He obviously had the respect of the trekking community along the way. He did not take my passion for the trek lightly and did everything he could keep me safe and comfortable. I have no hesitation in recommending Sisne Rover.

Top Trekking Experience for all the family - I gave Sisne Rover a go because of the excellent online reviews and I have to say, we were not disappointed! Dambar was extremely responsive during the booking process fielding all my questions (which were quite numerous) and then on the trip our guide Dilaram Poudel, along with his team of Krishna, Lal and Bopinder couldn't have looked after us better. Dilaram helped us out from dawn til dusk and was full of facts about the trek and surrounding mountains. They were all constantly cheerful. Krishna made great friends with our 9 year old and Lal even ran back up to the Mardi viewpoint when we stupidly left a knapsack behind! It was an unforgettable experience for our 4 kids aged 9-19. Thanks so much Dilaram, Dambar and Sisne Rover!

Top trekking experience for all the family - I found Sisne Rover Trekking via a Google search. The reviews were very good and I have to say that is exactly how we found them. Dambar was extremely responsive on the email answering all my questions in advance and then on the trip our guide, Dilaram Poudel and his team of Krishna, Lal and Bopinder really looked after us. Dilaram couldn't have done more to help us from dawn til dusk and knew all about the route and the surrounding mountains. All the guys had a smile on their faces all day long. Krishna made special friends with our 9 year old son Hal and Lal even ran back up a mountain when we left a bag!! We trekked round the Poon Hill circuit and then joined to the Mardi Himal trek for 7 days. It was an unforgettable experience for our 4 children aged 9 to 19. Thanks so much Dilaram, Dambar and Sisne Rover!

Great Trek, Great Guide on the Mardi Himal, Nepal - Had a great time on the Mardi Himal trek organised by Sisne Rover Trekking. The company organised everything including accommodation and meals. Our guide Ram was really great, helpful and a super nice guy. I would definitely recommend using Sisne Rover trekking based on our experience.

Tuesday Himal Trek - Magnificent Mardi Himal trek, I highly recommend the guide Milan with whom I spent 5 beautiful days traveling through the mountains

ABC (Annapurna Base Camp) with our heartfelt guide Manoj - With my cousin, we did the ABC (Annapurna Base Camp) trek in 6 days. It was breathtaking, an incredible experience. I would like to particularly thank our guide Manoj without whom this experience would not have been the same. An exceptional guide who takes the time to accompany you, to share his experience and his culture... In short, asked for Manoj alias Max, he's the best.

Sisne Rover - Mardi Himal 4200m ( Sunil and Kamini) - Milan (guide) - He is very knowledgeable in the field of nature and trekking. He has many years if experience with the mountains. Not only Mardi Himal but he explained so much info about the varioys mountains of Nepal. Kind, jovial, humble and great leadership during the trek from Milan. Krishna (porter) - He is a very strong, humbled, patient and motivated individual who displayed amazing mental and physical strength. In other words, he was an ironman. Always had a smile on his face. We are planning to be back for a longer trek next year and definitely getting this combo again. Krishna and Milan are professional colleagues and moreover good friends. Great teamwork between. Thank you Dumbar, Hira and Sisne for planning this amazing trek for us. Really once in a lifetime experience.
