About Mardi Himal Trek

A new route that was launched in 2012 is the 9-day Mardi Himal Trek. This journey, which enters the Annapurna Sanctuary Area, is becoming more and more well-known. The Mardi Himal Trek, though less well-known than the Annapurna Circuit Trek and the Annapurna base Camp Trek, offers breathtaking views of the Mardi Himal (5,587m), as well as snow-capped peaks like Annapurna I (8,091m), Annapurna South (7,219m), Machhapuchre (6,997m), and Gangapurna Himal (7,454m), making the trek well worth the money. Like Mardi Himal Trek, we at Green Valley Nepal Trek just introduced a brand new trekking itinerary: Annapurna North Base Camp Trek for those individuals, who love to explore new and challenging areas ofthe Annapurna Region.

Mardi Himal Trek

You will travel through winding roads in a dense rhododendron forest with Mardi Himal Trekking. The scenery will change into high mountains as you continue to climb, providing a stunning vista of Machhapuchhare, popularly known as Fishtail. The forests you go through typically have a variety of trees, bamboo, and chirping plants. The greatest method for avoiding crowds is to do this Mardi Base Camp Trek. You may view a variety of wild animals, like Himalayan Thar, long-tailed langurs, and birds like Danphe, Kalij, and Monal, on this trip through the forests.

The Mardi Himal Trek is the only trip in Nepal that takes you quickly to an altitude of at least 4,000 meters. With more alternatives for lunch and dinner as well as lodging, the expanding number of tea houses along the trail has made this short journey simpler for individuals of all fitness levels. Mardi Himal Trekking is a hidden gem that allows hikers to take in stunning mountain views, come face-to-face with wildlife in lush woods, and cross rivers and hills all in one trip. Follow the narrow, winding roads through the jungle until you emerge from it to see the magnificent vistas of the Mardi Himal, Annapurna South, and Machhapuchre from the Badal Danda.
