Overview

Mardi Himal is a mountain peak located in the Annapurna region of Nepal. It is a part of the Himalayas and is situated to the east of the famous Machhapuchhre (Fishtail) peak. The Mardi Himal peak has an elevation of 5,587 meters (18,330 feet) above sea level.

Mardi Himal is a relatively lesser-known trekking destination compared to other popular trekking trails in the region such as the Annapurna Circuit and the Everest Base Camp trek. However, it offers a unique trekking experience with its pristine natural beauty, serene landscapes, and stunning views of the Himalayan range.

The trek to Mardi Himal usually takes around 5-7 days and starts from the city of Pokhara. The trail passes through dense forests, picturesque villages, and alpine meadows before reaching the base camp of the Mardi Himal peak. The trek is suitable for both experienced and novice trekkers and can be done throughout the year, although the best time to visit is from March to May and from September to November.

Unforgettable trek to Mardi Himal Base Camp

Thakur helped us organise a trek to Mardi Himal base camp. He took care of every detail, making sure that our experience was memorable. Gakul, our guide, and Binod, our porter, were extremely attentive and caring, assisting us in every need. During the whole trek, Gakul helped us understand the culture, food, and nature around. We highly recommend World Himalaya Trek and Expedition for their services as they personalise them according to your needs. We also recommend asking for Gakul and Binod because they are kind and professional!

Beautiful catered trip through Nepal.

Dear Thakur Dhital and staff, how we can look back on a wonderful trip through Nepal! No wish was too much to arrange it perfectly for us. Started with a tour by jeep through the Gorka area, then to Pokhara and the impressive and desolate Mustang. There we visited the medieval towns of Tatopani, Kagbeni and Marpha, with beautiful temples and monasteries. And all with the most beautiful view of the Annapurna as a background. Kudos to our guide Rajendra Poudel and our driver Prakash Ghalan for the fantastic guidance. Real respect, because it was occasionally a real challenge with the bad roads through the landslights due to the heavy rain. Then a sightseeing in beautiful Bandipur to celebrate Thihar in Kathmandu. As icing on the cake we went to Chitwan for a jeep safari, a canoe trip on the river and enjoyed the special Tharu culture. THANK YOU for your good organization and nice contact. Warm regards Froukje and Ans

Mardi Himal Trek in 6 Days

We did the Mardi Himal trek last week (6 days). Can also be done in 5 days, but now we enjoyed it even more. We wanted a short trek but not too touristy. Thakur gave us good advice, suggested a nice trek and arranged a great guide Yadu and porter Durga. They were both so friendly, helpful, flexible. Yadu made the trek unforgettable for us. Everything was very good! The whole trip was great. Thanks for the organization. We will definitely contact Himalaya Treks again for our next trek.

The most local travel experience

As a solo girl, thank you World Himalaya for allowing me to enjoy the most pleasant travel experience in Nepal. The boss Thakur and his team are always enthusiastic about sharing and taking good care of me. They arranged Mardi himal hiking, domestic flights, and paragliding for me. , Day tour, which also includes point-to-point transfers and accommodation. The one-stop service made me really enjoy it without thinking.😂 Especially Guide-Gakul, I learned a lot about the local culture and Nepali language from him during the six days on the Mardi Mountains. This kind of friendship is so precious.
