Mardi Himal Trek
Overview
Mardi Himal Trek is a less traveled route located in the most visited destination Annapurna region. It is the hidden treasure of the Annapurna region. It is the lowest and perhaps the least visited of the trekking peaks in Nepal. The trip covers some of the breathtaking glacial valley and the hidden landscape of the Annapurna Region. The trail goes along small winding paths, through enchanted rhododendron forests until you climb out of the forest. The path is so less used and non-touristy that you feel like embarking upon a discovery expedition. The landscape changes quite abruptly into a rugged high mountain landscape, with amazing views of Mardi Himal, Machapuchre, Annapurna South and Hiunchuli. The Trek is an ideal choice for those of us who are looking for an off beaten path trekking experience in the Annapurna region of Nepal. It is the best way to discover the dazzling sceneries. more peace than Annapurna Base Camp Trek, newly opened and less Touristic are of Mardi Himal.
Mardi Himal Trek starts from the very beautiful city Pokhara with boating in Phewa Lake and enjoying the views. There are simple guesthouses and homestays along the entire route. This trekking route is that the trail makes a small circuit up to the base camp of this Himal. Mardi Himal Trek takes us to steeply down to the upper Mardi Khola. The best time for doing trekking in this route is February to Mid June, September where November are the best seasons and December and January are Winter and cold can be snow on the trail and July and August are rainy time, trekking can be done but visibility can be poor due to rain. The trails undulate along the ridge and after a tiresome walk where you can enjoy the local homestay and the tea garden on the last day of our trekking. It is less touristic are that can be done with basic tea house. Adventure Everest Team Organized Short hiking and Professional Trekking in Nepal, Do not hesitate to tailor Ask Amin Tour Operator.
