Situated to the east of the well-known Annapurna Base Camp, the Mardi Himal Trek was formally inaugurated in 2012. This previously hidden treasure sits majestically at the base of Mardi Himal and the awe-inspiring Machhapuchhre.
The Mardi Himal Trek journeys through fertile terrains, ranging from lush forests to rocky mountain paths. Our route meanders along narrow trails, threading through enchanting rhododendron woods until we ascend above the treeline around 3,300 m. The scenery shifts rapidly to a stark, rugged alpine landscape, offering breathtaking panoramas of Mardi Himal, Machhapuchhre, Annapurna South, and Hiunchuli.
