Mardi Himal Trek from Pokhara

Our guide will pick you up from your hotel in Pokhara and embark on an exciting drive towards the mid-hills of Annapurna, ultimately reaching the quaint village of Kande along the Pokhara/Beni highway.

From there, we set out on a beautiful trek through lush forests, ascending for an hour or more until we reach the picturesque spot known as Thulo-Kharka or Australian Camp. Here, amidst breathtaking views of the Annapurna and Manaslu Himalayas, we pause for a well-deserved rest and lunch break before continuing our trek towards the enchanting landscapes of Pitam Dearali. It’s a perfect opportunity to immerse ourselves in the stunning beauty of the region.

On the second day, we set our journey for Low Camp. Departing from Pitam Deurali, we trek northward along the ridgeline, venturing into the serene forested area where the air is crisp and cool. Along the way, we are treated to panoramic vistas of Annapurna I to the south, with Huinchuli to the east, and Annapurna IV-II and Lamjung Himal to the west. Our journey culminates as we arrive at our overnight halt nestled amidst the tranquil forest, where a handful of lodges await weary trekkers like us.

Leaving the rhododendron forest behind, the trail ascends steeply towards a high pasture for our overnight stop en route to Mardi View point. Along the way, we’re rewarded with stunning views of the surrounding landscapes and mountains up close. As we continue, we’ll pass through a beautiful forest adorned with unforgettable mountain vistas.

Today; we hike from High Camp to the Mardi Himal viewpoint for stunning mountain and sunrise views. It offers a mesmerizing journey through rugged terrain and lush alpine meadows. As we ascend, the panoramic views of the Annapurna Range unfold, captivating us with their majestic beauty.

Upon reaching the Mardi Himal viewpoint, we’re greeted by a breathtaking vista of snow-capped peaks and sweeping valleys below, a sight that etches itself into memory. After taking in the splendor, we begin our descent towards Badal Danda or Low Camp, where we’ll spend the night amidst the tranquility of the mountains, under a canopy of stars, rejuvenated by the day’s adventure.

Today is the last day of our Mardi Himal Journey. After breakfast, we embark on a roughly 5-hour trek downhill towards Siddhing, immersing ourselves in the serene beauty of the surrounding landscape.

Upon arrival in Siddhing, we pause to savor a well-deserved lunch, refueling our bodies for the journey ahead. After lunch, we join fellow travelers for a shared jeep ride back to Pokhara, reminiscing about our unforgettable trekking experience amidst the majestic Himalayas. Our guide will drop you at your hotel in Pokhara.
