Why Choose the Mardi Himal Trek

For those wanting to enjoy the majesty of the Annapurna region within a week, the Mardi Himal Trek is a wonderful choice. With beautiful Gurung villages, outstanding views of the Western massifs, and vistas of Rhododendron-covered hills this trek is simply one of the best in Nepal.  The trek was opened in 2012 and takes you eastward from the Annapurna Base Camp near the Macchapuchhre mountain. The trail mostly follows above the Modi river offering scenic views of the river and takes you all the way up to the Mardi Himal base camp. It has a diverse climate, topography, and culture and offers stunning views of the Annapurna Himalayan peaks while requiring walking across rugged terrain and a few base camps. Depending on your interest, physical level, and route choices, you can finish this Mardi Himal hike in about a week.

Spending a night at the Forest Camp at Kokar, where after spending a night among the rhododendron trees, we move to Low Camp. The Low camp is situated at an altitude of 3150m and an amazing view of Macchapuchhre mountain can be seen from here. 

Walking from the Low camp to the High camp, we see majestic views of Annapurna South and the Hiunchuli mountains. The next day involves hiking to the Mardi Himal Base Camp, located at an altitude of 4500m. The tremendous face of the Annapurna Range as well as Himchuli and Macchapuchhre can be seen amazingly from the base camp. After staying for some time at the base camp, we return to the high camp. From High camp, the next day head down to the town of Siding. The unique and wonderful culture of the people of the town will have you exploring your heart out. Staying overnight at Siding, we make our way to Lumre which is a beautiful village on its own. From Lumre we drive back to Pokhara for the end of the trip. 

This short but very sweet Mardi Himal Trek offers you the best of the Annapurna Region and hence, for those limited on time or wanting an amazing trek in the Western Himalaya, this trek can never be a wrong decision.  

 

Best Season for Mardi Himal Trekking

The optimum months to walk Mardi Himal are thus March through May during Spring and September through November during Autumn. During these months, the days are perfectly clear for stunning views of the mountains since the weather is clearer and the temperature is moderate, with just the mornings and evenings being a bit cold. 

Because of the climb's low height, the days are pleasant and bright from March through May. You only need to wear a t-shirt. However, keep in mind that warmer clothing is required in the mornings and nights. The best time to trek in the Himalayas is most likely in the fall. As a result, the routes will get crowded. So the routes will be crowded and the accommodation expenses.
