Tour overview

Mardi Himal trek is a perfect trip for those who prefer wilderness and off the beaten trails to the crowded popular trekking routes of Nepal. Mardi Himal is a peak at an elevation of 5587 meters which is one of the least frequented peaks in Nepal. The low popularity makes it a peaceful, less crowded and tranquil experience for trekkers and climbers.

Passing through dense forests of rhododendrons, magnolia, pine, and oaks with the picturesque views of snow-clad mountains like Annapurna, Fishtail, Hiunchuli, Tent Peak, Dhaulagiri, Manaslu and others, the trek reaches the maximum elevation of 4500 meters at High camp. It is a moderate level trek with ample time to acclimatize to the rising elevations.

We make uphill climbs and walk along high ridges as we make our way to the base camp of Mardi Himal. The trek is ideal for spring with full of Rhododendron flowers the trails and clear skies with tantalizing views of the mountains and surrounding landscape. The warm people with their unique cultures and warm hospitality make the trek a cultural and enriching experience. The trek is for those who seek natural beauty and tranquility in their trip.
