MARDI HIMAL TREK is one of the latest trekking routes in the Annapurna region. It is located at the East of Annapurna Base Camp under the spectacular Machhapuchhre and was opened for tourists in 2011/12. It keeps you away from the big crowd and allows immersing in the silence of nature. Unbelievable views of Annapurna South, Machhapuchhre, Hiunchuli, Manaslu ranges, Mardi Himal Base Camp, BadalDanda, Ghandruk/Lwang village as well as the cultural beauty are the major attractions where you pass through rich natural diversity, beautiful forests, rocky hills, misty clouds, stone built traditional villages, chirping birds, rhododendron forests and more.

The forest path continues till 3,300m when the trail takes on a rugged mountain setting with the spectacular views of Mardi Himal and other mountains. There is Low Camp with probably the best view of Machhapuchhre in Nepal. The High Camp is at 3,580m from where again wonderful views of The Annapurna Base Camp and other mountain peaks can be enjoyed closely.

It is best at Low and High Camp to rest, enjoy and fully absorb the beauty of it which also helps in acclimatization so there is no chance of altitude sickness. It takes only 4 hours trekking from High Camp to reach the Mardi Himal Base Camp. There are many teahouses/lodges along the trail.
