The trek typically lasts for about 8-10 days and starts from the vibrant city of Pokhara, known as the gateway to the Annapurna region. From Pokhara, you will embark on a picturesque drive to Kande, the starting point of the trek. The journey begins with a gradual ascent through lush rhododendron forests, terraced fields, and charming Gurung villages.

As you make your way up, the panoramic views become more awe-inspiring. The trail takes you to stunning viewpoints like Australian Camp, which offers breathtaking vistas of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges.

As you ascend higher, you will reach the Mardi Himal Base Camp, situated at an altitude of 4,500 meters (14,764 feet). This is the ultimate destination of the trek, and from here, you will be rewarded with stunning panoramic views of the snow-capped peaks. The Annapurna South, Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), and Hiunchuli mountains dominate the horizon, creating a majestic backdrop that will leave you in awe.

During the trek, you will stay in comfortable teahouses, which are basic but provide a warm and cozy atmosphere. The teahouses offer delicious Nepali cuisine along with international dishes, ensuring you have nourishing meals to fuel your journey.

It’s important to note that the Mardi Himal Yoga Trek requires an easy-moderate level of fitness. Prior physical preparation, including regular exercise and cardio workouts, will help you tackle the trek with ease. It’s recommended to consult with a healthcare professional and undergo a thorough medical check-up before embarking on this adventure.

The best time to undertake the Mardi Himal Yoga Trek is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) seasons. These months offer stable weather conditions, clear skies, and breathtaking views. However, with proper equipment and guidance, the trek can also be enjoyed in other seasons, albeit with more challenging weather conditions.

Safety is paramount during any trekking expedition. It is crucial to choose a reputable trekking agency that provides experienced guides, necessary permits, and proper equipment. Listen to the advice and guidance of your trek guide, stay hydrated, and pack essential items like sunscreen, a first aid kit, and warm clothing.
