Mardi Himal Trekking Overview
Pokhara opens the gateway to the Mardi Himal Base Camp Trekking. It takes about 7 hours driving or alternatively 35 minutes flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara. From Pokhara, you take a drive for an hour and begin to hike through the beautiful woods and relatively delightful landscape. The rewarding trip is further enticed with the melodious bird sounds, fantastic countryside touch, and unbelievable sceneries in the surroundings.
The tree line gradually transforms into the meadows as you walk higher on the trek to Mardi Himal. It becomes a bit more challenging especially if you go for the trek in winter due to the heap of snow on the route. The trail to Mardi Himal goes along the ridge of the hill, which has got jaw-dropping rocky slopes on both sides. Basic tea houses and lodges have made it easy for the trekkers to take a rest and enjoy incredible meals in the mountain. Mardi Himal Base Camp is located at 3580 meters altitude and offers brilliant Himalayan views of the might Annapurna boulders like Annapurna South (7,219m), Annapurna II (7,937m), Machhapuchhare (6,993m), Himchuli (6,441m).

Mardi Himal Trekking- an alternative trip of Annapurna Base Camp
Trekkers enlist Annapurna Base Camp and Mardi Himal Trekking side by side. After Mardi Himal Trekking got its recognition, it has become on the priority list in the moderate hiking category in the Annapurna region. They do share some common features in technicality level, views, and facilities. It is a bit shorter trek than ABC, but you get awesome Himalayan views from the base camp level, a moderate trek just like ABC and you will get similar hospitality with basic lodge accommodation on the trekking trail. So, if you have done the Annapurna base camp trek already, it's Mardi Himal for the second time.
