Trip Overview

The Mardi Himal Trek is an ideal choice for those who are looking for a short but ‘off the beaten path’ trekking experience in the quieter parts of the Annapurna region of Nepal. It is one of the least visited trekking peaks in Nepal.

Over 9 days in Nepal, leading up to Mardi Himal base camp and finally the high camp, you'll follow a solitary trail that passes across lush green forest, beautiful villages, deep valleys, exquisite terraced field, perennial rivers and outstanding views of the Annapurna, Macchapuchhre (Fishtail) and Hiunchuli mountains.
