Useful Info

Mardi Himal Trek Difficulty

Mardi Himal lies in the Annapurna region of Nepal and is a newly opened trekking trail in Nepal. It is an easy-going solitary trail with fewer trekkers as compared with other trails in Nepal. Mardi Himal Trek starts an hour's drive from Pokhara city.

Starting the trek from Phedi all the way to Pothana for an overnight camp is filled with the nature and culture of the Gurung community. It is a circular trail completing 49 km trekking distance from the starting point and ending point of the trail.

Apart from Mardi Himal Trail, the altitude of the Mardi Himal Base Camp it just (4500m/14763ft) but the highest altitude for our overnight camp is High Camp which lies at the altitude of (3580m/11745ft). All this makes Mardi Himal Trek very exciting with the majestic view of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges of the Himalayas.

Best Time for Mardi Himal Trek

Mardi Himal is an easy-going trek into the Himalayas of Nepal, the trek to Mardi Himal starts from the elevation of 850 meters to 4500 meters. So it is an inclined climb uphill from lowland into the Himalayas.

Mardi Himal can trek in every season but the best time of the year for Mardi Himal Trek is Mid- August till the month of April. As June and July are regarded as monsoon seasons in Nepal, Pokhara and the surrounding areas experience a sufficient amount of rain to make the trail worst to trek.

Apart from June and July, we do have pre and post-monsoon which can affect May and August.

So avoiding May, June July and Mid August will be best for Mardi Himal Trek for the magnificent view of the Himalayas, December and January are the coldest months of the year, but trekkers can trek to Mardi Himal base camp for the snow-fall and massif snow-covered Himalayas. So if you want to enjoy the snow on the trail then trek Mardi Himal Base Camp in December and January.

Mardi Himal Trek Cost

Mardi Himal is a newly opened trail for international and national trekkers; there are sufficient numbers of hotels and lodges all throughout the trail. Mardi Himal is close to Pokhara city, this makes the goods and food staff cheaper as compared to another trail of the Annapurna region.

Apart from food and other edible products, the price of the Mardi Himal Base Camp Trek is determined by the starting point and also the number of trekkers. In spite of all these Mardi Himal Trek can be completed in around 500 USD which is the best price with the rated facilities of meals and accommodations.

To further clear the confusion about the price, trekkers can contact the trekking agency because the number of days and numbers of trekkers can further decline the trekking price.

The time duration for Mardi Himal Trek

Mardi Himal Trek is a newly opened trail for trekkers close to Pokhara city in the Annapurna region of Nepal. This is a short trek into the Himalayas of Nepal covering 49 km of distance. Trekkers have multiple options to divert the trail and make it circular accordingly thus making the entry-point and exist-point of the Mardi Himal Trek different.

Mardi Himal Trek start from Pokhara which is a 200 km road distance from Kathmandu International Airport which is a 7-hour road ride to Pokhara and there is an option of domestic flight every day from Kathmandu to Pokhara which is a 35-minute flight. Starting the trek from Phedi after an hour drive from Pokhara, trekkers can make it 6 days easy-going trek.

This six days Mardi Himal Trek will provide an ample amount of time to explore the nature, culture, and Himalayas of Nepal, and further, the trail will divert through the village before descending towards Pokhara.

Accommodation in Mardi Himal Trek

Mardi Himal Trek is an easy-going trek into the base camp of Mt. Mardi. This is a newly open trekking route but with a sufficient amount of hotels and lodges. Mardi Himal trail is close to Pokhara city, this makes the hotel and lodges well-equipped with modern facilities like internet, phone calls, hot shower, WiFi, electricity, etc.

Mardi Himal Trek is a solitary trail with fewer trekkers as compared to other trekking trails in the Annapurna region. This makes the hotel and lodges less crowded, neat, and tidy. Foods are mainly local and organic but trekkers have the choice to select from the menu, as all the hotels and lodges follow the same menu with affordable prices.

Foods are hygienic and organic but it is better suggested to carry water purifying tablets or water purifying filters to saturate your drinking water instead of buying local bottled mineral water.

Beautiful Nepal

Trekking with Narayan and his team was amazin! One of the best experiences of my life and aside from the vast landscapes and incredible views, the guides on this trip were so informative, humble and just beautiful people.

Amazing Mardi trek

3 years ago I did a Mardi trek with guide Kumar. He was very caring and attentive during the trek. The trail was full of snow and slippery, but Kumar held my hand and led us the way. Every evening after dinner he used to let us know about tomorrow's trek. He was informative and knew every name of the mountains.

A fantastic guide, an amazing Trek

WOW is all I can say about Ace. Udaya was an amazing guide and was perfect throughout the entire trek. He was friendly, super knowledgeable, and handled everything that I needed from gear to travel. They were always concerned about my comfort and seeing that a memorable trip was had by myself and my partner. I had a medical issue that caused him to both works into the night to get a resolution. Of course, being sick in a foreign country can be a scary ordeal, but it was handled professionally and worked out well.

I can say with certainty that they'll be at the top of my list for my next trip and I can say without reservation that I'd go with them again.

Excellent!

I am not an expert on trekking but I love it. From my experience, if you have a plan to trek, the important is you have to find a good guide and travel agency you can trust. I am lucky I found both. So if you have a plan in mind to go to Nepal.. just try to contact them. I believe that you will imprese on their service. 5 trips in Nepal since 2017.. until now I am looking forward to going back to trek with them again 😊
