Are you seeking a less travelled route into the famous Himalayan Mountains? This is the perfect trek taking you through lush valleys, high altitude alpine meadows, lichen-laden dense forests, across many streams with waterfalls cascading down from above. You will be surrounded by white snow-capped mountains that tower above you in every direction.

Here is a destination that is big on beauty in a far-flung region of Nepal where few tourists venture. You will enjoy the solitude in this culturally rich region that has loads of natural beauty. You will enjoy the feeling of being truly off the beaten track as you trek to Machhapuchare Base Camp.

The Mardi Himal Trek starts in Pokhara, the second largest city in Nepal with Phewa Tal (Lake) at its centre. The trail first takes you through a rhododendron forest and along riverbanks. The trail descends to Mardi Khola (river) and then climbs toward Phedi. The Mardi Himal trek offers incredible views of Mt. Dhaulagiri, Annapurna South (7219m), Mt. Himchuli (7893m) and Mt. Machapuchare (6993m – Fish Tail), Mardi Himal (5587m).

The trail to Mardi Himal is suitable for anyone of average fitness. Climbing up from the valley floor may have you breathing hard, but the surrounding beauty will well and truly make up for it and be a welcome distraction. We guarantee you will enjoy the isolation on this unusual trek to a more remote area of Nepal that is off the regular trekking trails. You will get to appreciate the magnificent sunrise and sunset panoramic views from Mardi Himal High Camp.
