The Mardi Himal Trek is flourishing among outdoor enthusiasts and trekkers because it offers some of the most relaxing strolls through lovely villages, lush, green forests, temporary bamboo huts used by herders, and some of the best landscape views in the entire world with the Annapurna Himalaya range. When you see sunset paint a mountain covered in fall foliage with a blaze of color, a river meandering majestically through eroded canyon walls, or a tree against the whispering grass and blue sky above towering high snowcapped peaks, the scale of nature contributes to the beauty of the outdoors.
With a carefully planned itinerary and the most affordable package price, our 5-day dream trek to Mardi Himal Base Camp could be one of the hiking adventures of a lifetime in Nepal’s Annapurna region. This incredibly beautiful Mardi Himal trek to the base of Mt. Mardi (5547 m) is near the unexplored Machhapuchhre peak. The Mardi Himal hike is extremely rich in natural beauty, flora, and fauna and offers jaw-dropping views of the Himalaya. Your hike begins at Kande, at 1770 m above sea level, and ends at Mardi Himal Base Camp, at 4500 m. We will pass through only a few villages at first, then some really lovely settlements at the end of the hike. On this walk, we’ll have to spend the majority of the time in a pristine, deep forest. This area is incredibly serene and calm. This unique journey combines an exciting outdoor setting with a pure natural atmosphere. Above all, the views are breathtaking when you reach high camp at 3900 m or the upper view point at 4500 m. The snow-capped peaks include Annapurna I (8091 m), Annapurna South (7219 m), Himchuli (6441 m), Annapurna Fang (Baraha Shikher, 7647 m), Khangshar Kang (Rock Noir, 7485 m), Gangapurna (7454 m), Mardi Himal (5553 m), Machhapuchhre’s both peaks (6997 m and 6993 m), and the beautiful sloping terrain to the south.
For those who prefer not to walk where many other visitors are hiking, the beautiful Mardi Himal Trek in Annapurna is ideal and wonderful. There are numerous perplexing trails that lead into the dark forest; everywhere you look, you can see yak and sheep-traveled side trails that resemble the main trail. The Mardi Himal Trek is a stunning, untamed hike through unspoiled nature, a genuine Himalayan gem, and a serene setting. It might be a little daring, but it’s a must-visit place if you like to get away from the busy bustle of your daily schedule.
