Why Choose the Mardi Himal Trek?
The Mardi Himal Trek is one of Nepal’s hidden treasures. It’s a relatively short but incredibly rewarding trek that leads you to the base of Mardi Himal (5,587m), an often-overlooked peak offering some of the most spectacular views of the Annapurna massif.
Unlike the more crowded trekking routes in Nepal, Mardi Himal provides trekkers with a peaceful atmosphere and unparalleled natural beauty, featuring lush forests, terraced fields, and traditional mountain villages. Along the way, you’ll be surrounded by majestic views of the Annapurna Range, Machapuchare (Fishtail Mountain), and Dhaulagiri, as well as the lesser-known but equally stunning Mardi Himal.

Who is the Mardi Himal Trek For?
This trek is perfect for anyone with a moderate level of fitness, from beginners looking for a shorter trek to experienced trekkers wanting a less crowded route with spectacular rewards. The trail is well-defined, and although it involves some steep climbs, the difficulty is manageable for most hikers.
Best Time to Trek
The ideal seasons for the Mardi Himal Trek are spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November). During these months, the weather is clear, and the views are simply spectacular. You’ll also experience blooming rhododendrons in spring and crisp mountain air in autumn. Winter treks are possible but can be more challenging due to snow, and the summer monsoon season brings heavy rains, making the trail slippery and muddy.
