Mardi Trek

The Mardi Himal Trek is one of Nepal’s newer and lesser-known trekking routes, offering a fresh and tranquil experience in the Annapurna region. Situated east of the popular Annapurna Base Camp trail, Mardi Himal is often referred to as a hidden gem for adventure seekers who prefer quieter paths and untouched natural beauty. The route leads through dense rhododendron forests, charming highland villages, and scenic ridges, gradually revealing striking views of the Annapurna range, including Mardi Himal, Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), and Hiunchuli.

Despite being relatively short in distance, the trek delivers rich rewards in terms of landscape, serenity, and cultural encounters. With fewer crowds, the trail maintains an authentic and peaceful atmosphere, ideal for those looking to explore off-the-beaten paths. It is suitable for both beginners seeking their first Himalayan adventure and seasoned trekkers looking for something new. The Mardi Himal Trek offers a perfect blend of raw natural beauty, traditional village life, and high-altitude adventure—making it an increasingly popular choice for those wanting to explore Nepal beyond the mainstream trails.
