During the journey, you will be able to enjoy breathtaking views of Annapurna South, Mount Machhapuchre, and Mount Hiunchuli. Considered as an alternative to the traditional Annapurna Base Camp trek, the Mardi Himal Trek provides a different perspective with its unspoiled beauty. Despite being a modest peak at 5,587m (18,330 ft) compared to other towering mountains in the region, Mardi Himal has a unique allure that attracts adventurers seeking a less crowded destination. This trek is suitable for both beginners and experienced trekkers, offering a memorable journey with stunning views of Annapurna I and Machhapuchre.
The journey commences with a six-hour drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara. The next day, we will travel from Pokhara to Dhampus, where we will begin our trekking adventure. Our goal for the day is to reach Deurali, passing through various small ethnic villages along the way.
Upon waking up at Deurali on the third day, we will traverse a dense forest teeming with rhododendron, birch, oak, maple, hemlock, and daphnia on our way to Forest Camp. This forest is home to leopards, deer, monkeys, and a variety of bird species. Upon arrival at Forest Camp, you will be treated to breathtaking views of Mt. Machapuchre and Mardi Himal.

On clear days, you may even catch a glimpse of Pokhara from the trails. After reaching High Camp (3,900m), we will spend the night at a lodge. On the fifth day of your trek, you will reach the Mardi Himal Base Camp. Starting from High Camp, you will climb until you reach the base camp at 5,300m, where you can marvel at the spectacular views of the Annapurna range.

Route Map
FAQ's
The Mardi Himal Trek is an off-the-beaten-path route located in the Annapurna region of Nepal, providing breathtaking views of the Annapurna and Machapuchare mountain ranges. This trek offers a shorter and quieter option compared to the popular Annapurna Base Camp trek.
The trek usually spans from 5 to 7 days, varying according to your speed and schedule. Certain trekkers may prolong the trek for sightseeing purposes or to explore surrounding regions.
The hike is categorized as having a moderate level of difficulty. It includes steep uphill and downhill sections, but does not involve any technical climbing. It is advisable for hikers who have a good level of physical fitness.
The peak point of the trek is situated at the Mardi Himal Base Camp, positioned at approximately 4,500 meters (14,764 feet) above sea level.
Throughout the trail, there are tea houses and lodges situated at different points. These accommodations are simple but include meals, a place to sleep, and sometimes hot showers. Generally, booking in advance is not required except during peak trekking seasons.
Trekkers are required to have two permits: the Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP) and the Trekkers' Information Management System (TIMS) card.
The recommended times for trekking Mardi Himal are during the pre-monsoon (March to May) and post-monsoon (September to November) periods. Weather conditions are generally stable, and visibility is clear during these seasons.
While it is possible to trek Mardi Himal independently due to the well-marked trail, hiring a guide can enhance the experience, ensure safety, and offer local knowledge. Some trekkers prefer the guidance and companionship that a guide provides, especially in less-traveled areas.
Basic trekking gear such as sturdy hiking boots, warm clothing (in layers), a sleeping bag, trekking poles, a rain jacket, a hat, gloves, and a first aid kit is necessary. Additionally, a down jacket is recommended for higher elevations.
The trek usually starts from Kande or Phedi, both of which can be reached by road from Pokhara. Pokhara, a popular city, can be reached by bus or flight from Kathmandu.
Altitude sickness is a risk as you ascend above 3,000 meters. It is essential to properly adjust to the altitude, stay hydrated, and ascend gradually. Signs of altitude sickness may consist of headaches, dizziness, nausea, and difficulty breathing. Descending to a lower altitude is necessary if symptoms worsen.
Typically, hikers trek for 5 to 7 hours each day on average. The duration may vary based on individual pace, weather conditions, and specific itinerary.
Compared to other treks in the Annapurna region like Annapurna Base Camp or Everest Base Camp, the Mardi Himal Trek is less crowded. It is an excellent choice for those seeking solitude and peace.
Along the trail, tea houses and lodges offer a variety of meals, including traditional Nepali dishes like dal bhat and international options like pasta, noodles, soups, and pancakes. Vegetarian choices are widely available.
Many tea houses offer charging services, occasionally at a nominal cost. It is advisable to bring a power bank, especially at higher altitudes where electricity may be limited.
Mobile network coverage is accessible at lower altitudes along parts of the trail. However, the signal may be weak or absent at higher elevations. Certain tea establishments provide Wi-Fi access for a charge.
Physical preparation is essential, including regular cardio exercises, strength training, and hiking practice. Mental readiness for long walking days and potentially challenging weather is also important.

The trek is suitable for families with children and older adults if they are in good health and have trekking experience. It is important to proceed at a slow pace and be cautious of altitude.
