Trip Overview

The Mardi Himal Trek is an exceptional choice for those seeking a peaceful trekking experience away from the crowds of more popular routes. As the lowest and least visited trekking peak in Nepal, Mardi Himal offers a truly secluded adventure, making it an ideal destination for those who enjoy solitude in nature. The trek takes you through charming villages, terraced fields, and dense forests, providing an opportunity to experience the traditional Nepali way of life while immersed in spectacular scenery.

Along the way, trekkers are treated to stunning views of Annapurna, Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), Hiunchuli, and the lesser-known Mardi Himal. The journey is relatively short but offers diverse landscapes, from subtropical valleys to alpine meadows, culminating in the high-altitude base camp and high camp. The route also presents opportunities to witness unique wildlife and vibrant flora, with clear skies offering uninterrupted panoramic views. The trek is lodge-based, allowing trekkers to experience local culture and food in the heart of the mountains, making it a perfect blend of adventure and tranquility.
