Mardi Himal Trek  |  6 Days

Mardi Himal Trek is a short 6 days trek that will take you to the base of Mardi Himal. Located in the Annapurna region, Mardi Himal Trek is a newly open and famous trekking trail. Mardi Himal Trekking is perfect for anyone who has limited time on their hand but wants to witness stunning Himalayan mountains as well as gorgeous sceneries.  The trek follows the least traveled routes in the Annapurna region, which makes the journey more peaceful and relaxing.

The trail is short but difficult and slippery until you reach Mardi Himal Base Camp. The trail will lead you at the moderate altitude through the remote path crossing dense forests and lovely villages. The trek will present you views of picturesque villages, lush green hills, beautiful forests of oak & rhododendron, lovely lakes, cascading waterfalls, fine valleys, and the high Himalayas.
