Want to go on one of the most spectacular short trekking adventures in the Annapurna region? Mardi Himal Trek is the best adventure for a short trek in the Annapurna.

The adventure takes you as high as 4,500 meters above sea level to the base of Mardi Himal which stands right below the impressive Mt. Fishtail. As you tread your path on the trail through a peaceful and wooded area in the lower region, you will experience nature at its best.

While you reach above 3000 meters from sea level, you will have an undisturbed view of the mighty Annapurna range. The view of mountain peaks in the range leaves you in awe as you move higher towards the base camp.

Mardi Himal Trek is not only the best for its view of the mountains but also an entire experience. Although the trek has been getting its fame, fewer trekkers are trekking to Mardi compared to other popular regions. So, you can have a peaceful trekking experience even on a popular trail in the mountains.

An Incredible Short Trek in the Annapurna Region

Mardi Himal Trek is a short trek in the Annapurna region that offers an incredible view of the mountains and pristine surroundings. The trek, which goes through the lush green forest at the lower elevation, is a peaceful nature walk.

When you reach to higher altitude of the mountains, you will find yourself awestruck by the beauty of the snow-capped mountains. It is not only a short trek in the Annapurna region but also one of the best in the region. 

If you are looking for a peaceful, short, and beautiful trekking adventure in the Annapurna region, Mardi Himal is your destination. Unlike another popular trek in the region, Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek, this trek gets less number of trekkers and, thus, offers a quieter atmosphere. 

How Difficult is Mardi Himal Trek?

As a short trekking adventure in the Annapurna region, Mardi Himal Trek offers a moderately difficult challenge. The lower elevation is quite easy to traverse while the higher altitude poses some challenges. However, the entire trekking is not a difficult one.

It has medium level of challenges in terms of difficulty level. While trekking towards the Mardi Himal Base Camp, you need to trek uphill which is one of the challenges. Another challenge during the trek is altitude. You will trek to the high elevation of the Himalayas and when you are at the base camp, you will be at the elevation of 4,500 meters above sea level. You will have the highest overnight camp at the elevation of 3,600 meters above sea level at the High Camp.

It’s the first day of our trek, so we are checking out the hotel after breakfast to drive for about forty minutes to Kande. And the trekking adventure begins now, and we start walking towards our overnight place for today, Pitam Deurali. First day of the walk, the Mardi Himal Yoga Trek adventure is going to be an easy, beautiful, and short walk for us today through a peaceful forested trail. We trek to the destination via the Australian camp and can enjoy a beautiful view of snow-capped mountain peaks in addition to the beautiful nature walk.

After breakfast, we prepare to leave for the next destination. We are trekking to the Rest Camp today via Forest Camp.

It’s another day of a serene nature walk through a beautiful forest for most of the stretch. A nice and cool forest walk brings us closer to the wonders of nature. The trail traverses a beautiful rhododendron forest and other trees, and the walk is absolutely spiritually uplifting.

We reach the Rest Camp to stay overnight.

If the weather is clear, our early morning wake-up will be nicely welcomed by the spectacular view of Mt. Fishtail and Mardi Himal. Sunrise from behind the Mt. Fishtail ridge is a spectacular sight to observe and enjoy.

We start the trek of about 5 hours to High Camp via Low Camp after breakfast. We are pretty high above the lush tree line, so we will find trees turning into bushes now. Landscapes get more grassy pastures and cliffs.

We reach High Camp to find ourselves with enough time to wander around to get used to breathing at the altitude, and also enjoy the views of the mountains. High Camp is our highest overnight camp for the Mardi Himal Trek Adventure.

We will have a beautiful time at the High Camp to enjoy mighty mountain views.

It’s a pretty early morning wake-up for us. We get ready for the hike to the view point and then to base camp at around 4 in the morning. We will need the help of a flashlight as it is much earlier than the break of dawn.

A well-paced hike through a narrow trail up the hill brings us closer towards the viewpoint, and slowly the dawn starts breaking to expose snow-capped mountains to us. We reach the viewpoint for sunrise and find a breathtaking view of the Himalayan peaks in the Annapurna range. Magnificent and magical energy from the mountains will make our time at the base camp beautiful. Later, we hike further to the Mardi Himal base camp, our ultimate destination of the trip.

The hike back down to high camp is a slow-paced, careful walk through a narrow trail, and with lots of beautiful moments to cherish. The round trip from high camp to base camp and back will be about five hours.

We trek down to Low Camp to stay overnight after taking lunch at High Camp.

We wake up for another nice view of Fishtail and enjoy our breakfast. We leave Low Camp after breakfast to head down towards Sidding village. The trail to Sidding passes through beautiful forest. This is the last day of the trekking part, and it finishes at Sidding.

After lunch at Sidding, we take a jeep ride for about 2 hours to Pokhara.
