Mardi Himal Trek

Wi-Fi: Some Place
Maximum Altitude: 4500 m
Walking: 5 to 7 hours /day

Overview

The Mardi Himal trek is a quick hike that will escort you to the tropical side of Nepal. Mardi Himal stands tall at the east of Modi Khola across the valley of Himchuli. This Trek will let you travel the beautiful hiking trail of the western Annapurna region of Nepal. This hike includes breathtaking views of glacial valleys and sceneries of the Annapurna region.

The trail will take you to the adventurous off-the-beaten trekking route you will be walking. This Trek will take you out of your comfort zone, away from the bustle and hustle of the city. However, if you are hiking to Mardi Himal, you should not abstain from the view of fully covered snow-capped mountains. This Trek grants you a spectacular view of several mountain peaks like Annapurna I, Hiunchuli, Dhaulagiri, Annapurna II, Annapurna III, Machhapuchre (Fishtail), Annapurna South, etc.

The Mardi Himal trek is a hike to a calm place where you can avoid all the city noises and taste the pristine country air. It is one of the least toured hiking mountains in Nepal. Hence, this trip is fully Eco-Tourism, and the trail crosses Rhododendron forest and several other kinds of vegetation. Mardi Himal Trek, launched in 2012, has been gaining fame gradually.

This Trek is a quick, simple, and faultless trip you will be seizing. You will captivate by the view of little teahouses helping you with basic facilities. We will also be witnessing antique Nepali Gurung and Magar cultures, excellently set dense forests, rocky landscapes, and elegant scenarios. The Mardi Himal trek will be a 10-day trek that is short for you to spend any vacation.
