The Mardi Himal Trek takes you to the east of Annapurna Base Camp, virtually under the spectacular mountain Machhapuchhre (Fishtail). As you trek along the ridge, you can look down at Annapurna Base Camp itself! It is almost too good to be true. But, you’ll see it is real with you own eyes.
The trek goes through quiet stone built villages past wonderful rhododendron forests blooming in many different colors. The forest path continues until about 3,300m. when the trail takes on a rugged mountain setting with spectacular views of Mardi Himal, Machhapuchhre and Annapurna South. During the trek, you will eat and sleep in basic mountain lodges, runned by locals.
The trail of the Mardi Himal Trek goes along small winding paths, through magical rhododendron forests until you climb out of the forest at an elevation around 3,300m. The landscape changes quite abruptly into a rugged high mountain landscape. You will have amazing views of Mardi Himal, Machhapuchhre, Annapurna South and Hiunchuli.
