Mardi-Himal-Trekking is a short trek of 7-8 days (4 days and 5 days itinerary accessible), a freshly launched route in the year 2012 which immediately grew in fame and takes you inside the Annapurna Sanctuary Area, beginning from 820-meter Pokhara to 4500m Mardi Himal Base Camp. Even Though it is less famous trekking route than long treks like Annapurna Circuit Trek and Annapurna Base Camp Trek, the Mardi-Himal-Trekking provides amazing vistas of the Mardi Himal (5,587m / 18,330ft) and also other snow-capped mountains like Annapurna I (8,091m/ 26538 ft), Annapurna South (7,219 m / 23,680 ft), Machhapuchhre (6,997 meters / 22,950 ft), and Gangapurna Himal (7,454m / 24,450 ft), that makes this trek worth every penny.

The expanding number of tea houses through various fitness levels, as choices for lunch and dinner with lodging are readily accessible.

Best season of Mardi-Himal-Trekking
The usual peak seasons for trekking in Nepal are spring and autumn. Hence, plan your trip to Mardi for the months of spring and autumn. Monsoon season is the worst time to do trekking. Leeches, muddy trails, and a cloudy atmosphere make it discouraging for the trekkers. During the winter season, the trail is slippery and dangerous. However, the snow on the hills and trail make it adventurous and also beautiful too. Our recommendation for the amazing journey is either during the spring or autumn season.
