Mardi Himal Trek
Mardi Himal Trek got opened in 2012 and soon won the heart of travelers from all around the
world. The off-beaten trail through picturesque villages and dense forests makes the journey
adventurous. Mardi Himal Trekking leads to the Mardi Himal Base Camp, situated at 4,500
meters. Today, Mardi Himal Base Camp Trek is known as one of the best alternatives
for Annapurna Base Camp Trek. If you are someone trekking for the first time in the
Himalayas, then this trek is the best option to introduce yourself to the Himalayan trail.
Mardi Himal is located opposite the south face of Mt. Annapurna and east of ModiKhola
across the valley from Mt. Hiunchuli. The trail is relatively less crowded than ABC Trek,
however, the experience is fairly rewarding. The trek offers breath-taking landscapes and
stunning views of the western Himalayan mountains like Mt. Annapurna (8,091 m), Mt.
Dhaulagiri (8,167 m), Mt. Nilgiri (7,061 m), Mt. Hiunchuli (6,441 m), Mt. Tukuche (6,920m), Mt.
Fishtail (6,993 m), LamjungHimal (6,972 m), and many others. Trekking through beautiful
forests of rhododendron and crossing many villages, you will reach the base camp of Mardi
Himal.
From the top of the base camp, which is also called the Upper Viewpoint, you will be seeing
sumptuous sunrise. Mardi Himal Trek Nepal is a moderate trek with a few difficult sections.

Mardi Himal Trek Best Season:
Spring and autumn are the perfect seasons for Mardi Himal Trek. The weather is stable, and
the views of the mountains are brilliant during these two seasons. March to April, which is
spring in Nepal, welcomes hundreds of species of flowers and vegetation that decorate the
entire trail, making the journey extremely pleasant. Likewise, October to November- autumn
has its charm of festiveness in the air.
The temperature ranges around 17 °C in spring and 20 °C in autumn, with a minimum night
temperature around 5 °C. The nights and mornings are cold but not free. Monsoon and winter
are the offseason. The views are not clear in monsoon with a slippery trail, not ideal for
trekking. Whereas, the extreme cold in winter can make the journey strenuous. The

other off months, then do let us know. We will provide you with the best advice.
Mardi Himal Trek Accommodation:
Mardi Himal Base Camp Trek is a teahouse trek. You can also see guesthouses along the
way. Mardi Himal Trek Route follows a very remote part of the Annapurna region, where the
infrastructure is underdeveloped. Therefore, the available accommodations are also basic and
offer limited services. The rooms are usually small with shared or private washrooms.
Mostly twin sharing rooms are available, but if you want a single room, then do let us know
beforehand so that we can manage to get one for you. We can't promise that though. As the
elevation will increases, the options will get lesser. And especially in the peak trekking season
when the rooms are booked in advance.

transportation, accommodations, and meals does play a big role in the fluctuation of the

and then the price will be comparatively lesser. You can contact us anytime for detailed
