Mardi Himal trek is unblocked views, a hidden pearl as the trail opened in 2011 to trekkers. The hike turns through beautiful rhododendrons and maple backwoods before unfolding into the robust mountain scene. Here, Mardi Himal, Machhapuchre, Annapurna, and Hiunchuli ‘s perspectives are so staggering that they can not express in words. Few trekkers make their way to the spectacular Mardi Himal Base Camp and the stunning and majestic Machapuchhre, but this incredible route is rapidly gaining popularity. This 12-day trek is not that challenging but as good as a new trekking route to the nearby Annapurna base camp.

The Mardi Himal trek starts with a scenic drive from Pokhara to Phedi. The trail then moves to the village of Dhampus, passing through the beautiful rice terrain. Next, the level climbs towards Pothana as it ascends towards Mardi Base Camp. Since it goes via Deurali, the path still runs to Forest Camp. It is lovely walking in the forest. A stunning view of the Annapurna massif, however, is worthwhile. The place is the vantage, which offers a picture of the sunrise and sunset over the white mountains.

Ultimately our journey leads to our spotlight and destination at Mardi Himal Base Camp to be the best spot for this tremendous adventure. It will play the unique mountain panorama and magnificent scenery right here. Then head back to scenic Pokhara and Kathmandu after completing Mardi Himal Trekking with convenient service and guidance of Himalayan Exploration Travel.
