Mardi Himal Trekking Overview

The Mardi Himal Trek 5 Days is one of the most scenic short treks in Nepal, perfect for trekkers who want a real Himalayan adventure in less than a week. Located in the Annapurna Region, this trek takes you close to the majestic Mt. Machhapuchhre (Fishtail) and offers panoramic views of Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, and Mardi Himal Base Camp.

The Mardi Himal Base Camp, standing at an altitude of 4,450 meters, rewards trekkers with close-up views of Annapurna South (7,219m), Hiunchuli (6,441m), Mardi Himal (5,553m), and the ever-majestic Machhapuchhre (6,993m). It’s the perfect adventure for travelers who want to experience the best of the Himalayas but have limited time.

Unlike other busy trekking routes, this short Mardi Himal trek follows a peaceful ridge trail through colorful rhododendron forests, lush valleys, and remote mountain villages. The quiet beauty of this path makes it one of Nepal’s most magical off-the-beaten-track experiences.

Along the Mardi trek route, you’ll meet friendly Gurung and Magar villagers, enjoy traditional Nepali hospitality, and witness daily life in the high Himalayas. Each step brings you closer to nature from misty forests filled with birdsong to crisp alpine air above the clouds.

The Mardi Himal Trek 5 Days is short, but it feels like a full adventure a compact journey packed with all the magic of Nepal.

Mardi Himal Trek Map & Route Details

The Mardi Himal Trek map shows a circular trail that starts from Pokhara, the gateway to the Annapurna region. A short drive takes you to Kande (1770m), where the adventure begins. The trail then moves up to Pitam Deurali (2100m), Forest Camp (2600m), Low Camp, High Camp (3540m), and finally Mardi Himal Base Camp (4450m).

The return route goes down to Sidding Village (1700m) before driving back to Pokhara. This loop offers an amazing variety of scenery from subtropical forests to snow-covered ridges.

Each section of the Mardi Himal trekking itinerary gives a new perspective of the Himalayas. The view from High Camp and Base Camp is among the most dramatic in Nepal, showing a complete panorama of the Annapurna Range.
