Mardi Himal Treks

Upon your arrival at Kathmandu Airport, we will pick up you from the Airport and drops you at the hotel. Evening briefing about the trek. Overnight at Hotel

We will start our journey from Kathmandu with a peaceful and fresh air of nighttime as at this time, we rarely have to face any traffic jams and obstacles. It will take around 6-7 hours to reach Pokhara, the city of natural beauty. We will get to pass by Thankot, Naubise, Baireni, Maleku, Muglin and many more places. After reaching Pokhara, we will be staying at selected hotel

After early breakfast, we’ll drive half an hour to Kande and begin our trek to Forest Camp at the altitude of 1810m. The way is steep until Dhampus and satisfying easy walk up to Pothana where the night will be spent at well-groomed Teahouse.

The way of 5 hours continues from Forest Camp to Low Camp through the forest however as we’ll climb up the greenery that starts to change with colourful rhododendron and the trees are covered with moss, lichen and tree ferns. The view from Low Camp is marvellous with Mount Machhapuchhre (Fish Tail) visible up the valley.

 We will get a good view to Annapurna South and Hiunchuli towards the west about an hour (3700m) or so above Low Camp the trail breaks out above the tree line. The trek continues along the Mardi Himal ridge mainly on the grass with detached rhododendron bushes along the way. Further, we will be watching colourful Danphe pheasant on this section of the trek.
Stay at this place is very comfortable with well-managed tea houses/lodges.

 We will wake early for the sunrise view of the mountains then after breakfast walk up the crest towards Mardi Himal Base Camp. There is a path through the grass with a couple of steeper section. Dzokpo (yak/ cow crossbreds) grazing up here as well as Danphe pheasant will be our mood fresher. There, the sheep and goats from lower villages are brought up to graze. At the elevation of 4500m, one can gaze into the Annapurna Sanctuary and the panorama view is mesmerizing. Viewing at the south face of Annapurna and all of the peaks in the Sanctuary as well as Hiunchuli and Machhapuchhre (Fishtail). We’ll be staying overnight at Low Camp

Here, will trek for 6 hours. On the way back, we’ll take a different route for the completion of a circuit from Low Camp there is a trail that goes down to Siding. Siding is a traditional Nepalese village and still very much away from up-to-date tourist treks and more possibly, we might stay at a homestay. It is a wonderful cultural experience finding out more about village life and get to experience to eat Dal Bhat in the evening like a family.

From Siding we’ll be walking out to the road head at Lumre. On the way from Siding we will pass the villages of Kalimati and Ghalel. Kalimati is mainly a Brahmin village with mixed stays of Ghalel and Siding. We’ll probably get a jeep or any other vehical managed by our trek office for advance drive back to Pokhara.

 After Breakfast at Hotel start drive to Kathmandu with Tourist Bus. Farewell Dinner at Local Nepali Restaurant with Nepali Food and Nepali Cultural Dance. Overnight 

 We will drop you at Tribhuwan International Airport or further programme in Nepal
