The Mardi Himal Package offers an all-inclusive trekking experience (with a little added luxury). Great for those trekkers looking to experience the true vibrancy of the Nepalese Himachal region, with time to relax and unwind at the end of the trek and reflect upon a life-changing adventure!

It’s a trek that captures Nepal in all it’s wondrous beauty!

Situated just east of one of the most popular treks of Nepal (the Annapurna Base Camp trek), the Mardi Himal trek is a hidden gem. Few trekkers make their way to the Base Camp, spectacularly situated at the base of Mardi Himal and the impressive Machapuchhre (Fish Tail).

Enjoy the breathtaking views of the Himalayan mountain range as the trail goes along small winding paths through magical rhododendron forests until you climb out of the forest at an elevation around 3,300 m. The terrain changes quite abruptly into a rugged high mountain landscape, with amazing views of Mardi Himal, Machapuchre, Annapurna South and Hiunchuli.

From High Camp you will climb up to Mardi Himal Base Camp (4,500 m) in about 3-4 hours, which offers spectacular close up views of the entire Annapurna Range.

And with that little bit of luxury: Finish the trek with amazing food, massages, and some well-deserved downtime to reflect on the experience of a lifetime.
