Mardi Himal Trek

6 Days

Tucked beneath the towering presence of the Annapurna range, the 6-day Mardi Himal Trek offers one of Nepal’s most rewarding short adventures—where dramatic mountain scenery meets peaceful, less-traveled trails. This journey takes you from lush rhododendron forests and charming hillside villages to high alpine ridgelines with jaw-dropping views of Machapuchare (Fishtail), Annapurna South, and Hiunchuli.

Perfect for trekkers seeking a quieter alternative to the region’s busier routes, the Mardi Himal trek blends natural beauty with a sense of solitude and discovery. Each day reveals a new landscape, building toward the unforgettable sunrise from Mardi Himal Base Camp, where the Himalayas feel close enough to touch.
