Tour Overview

The Mardi Himal trek begins at Kande (45 minutes drive), near Pokhara, a short and spectacular trekking trip in the Annapurna region. It is newly opened ( 2007) and hidden treasure in Annapurna region, which is the best trip to avoid the crowd. It offers the awesome view of Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Machhapuchhre, and Manaslu mountains during the trek.

The Mardi Himal trek goes through the miraculous Rhododendron (The national flower) forest at the initial portion and eventually, the setting turns on the rugged trail dominated by the hard rock formations. The forest path continues until about 3300m. from Mardi Himal, we can see the best view of Machhapuchhre along with accommodation for those all-important sunrise and sunset views. Besides this, at 3580m is High camp, which again offers a spectacular view overlooking Annapurna Base Camp.
