The Ghorepani Mardi Himal Combine Trek is a 10 to 12 day loop trek in the Annapurna region that connects the famous Poon Hill sunrise viewpoint at 3,210 m with the dramatic Mardi Himal Base Camp at 4,500 m, creating one of the most diverse and rewarding combination treks available from Pokhara.
The Ghorepani Mardi Himal Combine Trek with Nepal Mountain Adventure starts from USD 899 per person including a licensed guide, porter, all teahouse accommodation, three daily meals, ACAP permit, and TIMS card for the complete 10 to 12 day itinerary.
This combined trek is rated moderate in difficulty. The Poon Hill section is easy while the Mardi Himal section adds more altitude and steeper terrain, making the combination well suited for trekkers who want a step up from easy short treks but are not yet ready for the demanding Annapurna Base Camp or Circuit routes.
Nepal Mountain Adventure operates this trek over 10 to 12 days starting from Pokhara, completing the Poon Hill sunrise section first through Ghorepani and Tadapani, then transitioning to the Mardi Himal trail through Forest Camp, Low Camp, High Camp, and base camp before descending to Pokhara via Siding village.
The highest point is 4,500 m at Mardi Himal Base Camp with an optional viewpoint above base camp reaching approximately 4,700 m. The Poon Hill section peaks at 3,210 m making this a well graduated combination where altitude increases gradually and naturally across the itinerary.
Spring (February to April) is the best time because both trail sections pass through the most spectacular rhododendron forests in the Annapurna region simultaneously in bloom. This is widely regarded as the most visually stunning time to walk either trail independently and the combination in spring is truly exceptional.
Two permits cover both trail sections which are the Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP, USD 30) and the TIMS card (USD 20). Nepal Mountain Adventure processes all permits before departure from Pokhara so there are zero delays at the trailhead.
The three main highlights are the pre-dawn sunrise from Poon Hill (3,210 m) with views of over 20 Himalayan peaks, the spectacular ridge walk along the Mardi Himal trail with continuous mountain views, and the dramatic arrival at Mardi Himal Base Camp (4,500 m) with a face to face view of Machhapuchhre (6,993 m).
Yes, the combination is far superior to doing either trek alone because it eliminates the repetitive descent on the same trail, creates a genuine loop that covers completely different terrain and scenery on every single day, and delivers two separate world class viewpoints in one continuous journey from Pokhara.
The trek is well suited for beginner to intermediate trekkers with a reasonable level of fitness. The gradual altitude gain from Poon Hill (3,210 m) to Mardi Himal Base Camp (4,500 m) over multiple days gives the body time to adjust comfortably without any extreme altitude risk.
This trek is great! When we came, Giri helped us to create a suitable itinerary for us.
