Mardi Himal Short Trek - 7 Days

The Mardi Himal Trek is short and easy in the Annapurna Region. It begins with a two-hour drive from Pokhara, a popular tourist spot in Nepal. This trek offers stunning views of the Annapurna mountains. Once a lesser-known trail, the Mardi Himal Trek has recently become more popular with foreign and local tourists. The trek starts with a two-hour drive to Kande from Pokhara. From Kande, the walking trail begins, leading to Australian Camp. The path is moderate and easy, with a slight uphill to Australian Camp and a downhill to Pothana. This initial part of the trek is perfect for beginners. Unlike other trekking routes, this trail does not pass through local villages from Pothana. Instead, it winds through forests, adding a sense of adventure. As you climb higher, the trees become shorter. The Mardi Himal Trail is rich with rhododendrons and alpine trees.

At High Camp, the temperature drops, and you might feel a bit dizzy. High Camp is the last stop before Mardi Himal Base Camp. On clear days, you can see stunning views of Mardi Himal, Fishtail and other mountains in the Annapurna Range. An early morning walk of two to three hours takes you to Mardi Himal Base Camp, with an elevation of 4500 meters. The base camp offers spectacular views of the Annapurna Range. If the weather is clear, you'll be treated to a beautiful sunrise reflecting off the mountains.
