The Mardi Himal Trek is a relatively short, easy, and rewarding trail in the Annapurna trekking region. Officially opened in 2011, this trail is a hidden gem that has recently been discovered. Offering a captivating journey in the Annapurna Region, the Mardi Himal Trek takes you to the newly unlocked Mardi Base Camp, where you can enjoy breathtaking views of the Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, and Machhapuchhre (Fishtail) ranges. This trek is highly regarded as an alternative to the Annapurna Base Camp and the Ghorepani-Poon Hill Trek.

The Mardi Himal Trek, located near the Lake City of Pokhara, offers a unique and hidden experience in the Annapurna region. This trail provides breathtaking views of the majestic Himalayan range, diverse landscapes, and snowy glacial valleys. Additionally, it allows us to immerse ourselves in the rich cultures and traditions of the local villagers along the way. Unlike other well-established trekking trails, the Mardi Himal Track is relatively new and lacks extensive infrastructure and facilities. As a result, camping may be necessary at certain points along the trail. However, this also means that there are endless opportunities for new and unspoiled experiences. As you ascend to an elevation of 3,300m, you will be enchanted by the rhododendron forest, especially during the blooming season when the entire forest is covered in vibrant red rhododendron flowers, creating a heavenly atmosphere.
Beyond the altitude of 3,300m, the verdant landscape transforms into rugged terrain, adorned by majestic mountain vistas. Amongst these awe-inspiring sights are the breathtaking views of Mardi Himal, Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), Annapurna, and Hiunchuli. Eager to witness these vistas up close, we embark on a new and untouched trail along the ridge. After a challenging ascent, we reach the high camp. Continuing our ascent, we finally reach our coveted destination, the Mardi Base Camp, which offers a captivating and graceful panorama of the entire Annapurna range from its vantage point. This remarkable spectacle allows you to truly appreciate the grandeur of the mighty Himalayan range, with Annapurna towering right at your doorstep.
