Mardi Himal Trekking

Experience Required?

Your physical fitness is the most important point for the Mardi Himal trekking than the previous experience. If you have any experience of walking in the Himalayas, it will certainly help you. With sound health and your physical fitness, you can succeed the trekking.

Pre-Trip Meeting:

This is the first introduction with you and the team, who is taking you to the Mardi Himal Trekking. Shiva Excursion tries to avoid the confusions you have and explains to you in a brief about the trip for the last time and wishes you success.

Accommodation

There are variations in forms of accommodations, but they are essentially basic with the amenities like cozy rooms, clean shared toilets, hot showers, warm dining halls, and clean beds. Often the guest houses/lodges are family-run, but you will experience amazing hospitality.

Insurance:

Insurance is mandatory for all types of trekking in Nepal and so is the case on Mardi Himal Trekking. Once you have insurance, your risk of any emergency or medical issues is covered and you will have a safe and confidential trip. In the remote countryside, the best form of evacuation is by helicopter, so in case of emergency, we should do it to rescue you rapidly. Your insurance is thus a mandatory aspect.

Altitude Sickness

Although Mardi Himal trekking is a short excursion, it needs your fitness and energy level as it takes you almost 5000 meters in a few days. Thus, acclimatization is really important for this trip, which avoids high altitude sickness. You should have garlic soup mixed with ginger, trek smoothly, breath well, sleep warm, drink plenty of warm water, and stay warm with the stuff. In case you feel any symptoms of high altitude sickness, you shouldn't trek high, rather trek downhill or stay at the same place. High altitude sickness is not a usual case on Mardi Himal trekking, but it cannot be underestimated.

Meals on Mardi Himal Trekking

Three meals are included on the Mardi Himal trekking package- Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We name it as a full board basis trip. There are certain places on the way to the Mardi Himal Base Camp, where you will have mouth-watering dishes, from typical Nepali Dal Bhat, Indian, Chinese, and continental meals. They are served with local resources, so they may not be like that of the star hotels, but they are wonderful enough to quench your appetite.

Transportation in Mardi Himal Trek

For Mardi Himal trekking, mainly two types of transportation are used. For pick up from the airport, drop and sightseeing, private air-conditioned tourist vehicles (car/jeep/Hiace/bus) are used. From Kathmandu to Pokhara you can take a bus/car ride or take a flight. Pokhara to the trekking gateway, you can take a car/jeep/bus ride. It is the same way after returning from the trek.
