The highest point of the Mardi Himal Trek, Mardi Himal Base Camp, 4,250 meters above sea level, offers breathtaking views of the Annapurna Region and the magnificent Annapurna Himalayan range. Although not extremely difficult, the hike calls for a moderate degree of fitness and prior trekking expertise. The glorious Himalayan range that encircles the area is home to Mt. Dhaulagiri (8,167), Mt. Hiunchuli (6,441m), Mt. Fishtail (6,993m), Annapurna South (7,219m), and the massive massif of Annapurna (8,091m), which is absent from the Mardi Himal trek's congested routes, vistas, and teahouses. The brief Annapurna Trek's narrow, twisting pathways lead to colorful hamlets that exemplify Hilly Nepal with its traditions and ways of life passed down from their ancestors.
The Mardi Himal Trek offers a convenient starting point in Kathmandu, making it easily accessible for travelers. The trek begins in Kathmandu and takes you to the enchanting city of Pokhara. From Pokhara, the journey continues to Phedi, where the actual trek begins. The route then leads to Deurali for the first overnight stop. As you trek through captivating forests and breathtaking scenery, you'll reach forest camp, low camp, and high camp, which is situated at an elevation of 3,540 meters. Here, you can relax and enjoy a stunning Himalayan sunset.
You head to the higher viewpoint for the most breathtaking views of the Annapurna Himalayan Range and mesmerizing Himalayan vistas. The snow-capped peaks of Mt. Dhaulagiri (8,167m), Mt. Hiunchuli (6,441m), Mt. Fishtail (6,997m), and Mt. Annapurna (8,091m) gradually transition golden to orange, providing the most outstanding picture of the Annapurna mountains as the dark sky gives way to a red line.
