Mardi Himal Trek

Mardi Himal Trek is an 11-day adventure located in the Annapurna region. It is not as popular compared to other trekking destinations such as <a href="../../../annapurna-circuit-trek">Annapurna Circuit Trek</a> and <a href="../../../everest-base-camp-trek">Everest Base Camp Trek</a> but is in no way any less spectacular. The Mardi Himal trek offers breathtaking views of the Annapurna range, including <a href="../../../machhapuchhre-model-trek">Machhapuchhre (Fishtail)</a>, as well as diverse landscapes ranging from lush forests to high-altitude alpine terrain. It offers a unique and <a href="../../../blogs/10-best-off-the-beaten-trekking-destinations-of-nepal-2023">off-the-beaten-path experience</a> for those looking to explore the natural beauty of the <a href="../../../blogs/7-easiest-trekking-peaks-in-the-himalayas-for-new-climbers">Himalayas</a> in a less crowded environment. It is suitable for any age group with a lower risk of altitude sickness ( although there might be a fair chance of <a href="../../../blogs/avoid-altitude-sickness-in-everest-base-camp-trek">getting altitude sickness</a>) yet filled with stunning views of <a href="../../../mountain-flight">mountains</a>, <a href="../../../blogs/easiest-peaks-to-climb-in-nepal">peaks</a>, small but diverse and beautiful villages, and nature&rsquo;s glorious presence is what Mardi Himal trek has to offer you. The actual trek leading to Mardi Himal starts from Phedi village through the trail with magnificent views of Machhapuchre, Hiunchuli, Mardi Himal, and <a href="../../../annapurna-i-expedition">Annapurna</a>, along with dense green forest, <a href="../../../chepang-village-trekking">picturesque village</a>, beautiful land with terrace farming, fast flowing rivers. As this particular trek is yet to be well explored, you need not worry about trails being overcrowded. Because the trail leads up to the Mardi Himal base camp, one doesn&rsquo;t have to return to the same terrain. Some parts of the trek also comprise high altitude and some parts of the trails are known for their unpredictable&nbsp;<a href="../../../blogs/trekking-nepal-in-january-complete-guide">weather</a> with steep ascends and descends which is why although this trek in the <a href="../../../blogs/off-the-beaten-treks-in-annapurna-region">Annapurna region of Nepal</a> is considered easier than others, it is good to consult with your doctor before the trek and be cautious of your health condition. The Mardi Himal trek ends in <a href="../../../paragliding-in-pokhara">Pokhara</a>, with its splendid presence of mountains and lake. Pokhara being &lsquo;the city of lakes, &rsquo; walking on the lakeside during night time is sure to take away all your strain from the trek and have you depart happy and relaxed. So if you want to <a href="../../../millennium-village-trek">explore a traditional village</a> through the trail with splendid scenic views of waterfalls, forests, mountains like<a href="//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machapuchare"> Machhapuchhre</a> and many other peaks with warm hospitality and even warmer and hearty meals, the mountain landscape within a short period assuring your peace to remain maintained then the Mardi Himal trek is your ideal option.
