Description
Mardi Himal Trek is a relatively new and less crowded trek route in the Annapurna region of Nepal. It offers a unique and off-the-beaten-path experience for trekkers who want to explore the Himalayas.
The trek usually starts from Kande or Phedi, which are accessible by a short drive from Pokhara. The trail ascends through dense forests and charming villages like Pothana and Deurali. You'll reach Low Camp and High Camp, which offer panoramic mountain views. The final push takes you to the Mardi Himal Base Camp, situated at an altitude of around 4,500 meters (14,764 feet).
