Mardi Trek

If you like a Himalayan trek with nice mountain scenery but not too many tough, hard, difficult days in the higher hills, then the Mardi Himal Trek is your trek! Mardi Himal Trek in Nepal’s Annapurna region is a quiet trek but a trek with independent walking on the trail, stunning views of the Annapurna Himalayas, and a feeling like one is completely alone in the hills. Since the Mardi Himal Trek is relatively new for all the trekkers, the view of this trek is stunning. The view includes Mardi Himal (5,587m), Machapuchare (Fishtail), Annapurna South, and Hiunchuli. Why Hike to Mardi Himal? Mardi Himal is simple; it’s unique because it’s not easily accessible, in a virgin region of the world where there are less tourists. You won’t have to deal with so many tourists at Annapurna Base Camp or Everest Base Camp, and that equals less craziness, more real human interaction and more harmony with nature. Key points are: Panoramic ridge-line trek with panoramic views of the surrounding peaks Rhododendron forests and alpine high grassland at high altitude Leisurely teahouse trek without any tourist trail crowd Recommended highly as a short trek (4-6 days) from Pokhara Moderate level of difficulty – ideal for first timers with good physical fitness. Location and Accessibility The trek starts a couple of hours’ drive from Pokhara; hence this is one of the most accessible treks in Nepal. Timings, all the treks start from Kande or Phedi, whichever and theya reachable within an hour by private cars or local buses. It is so near to you that you don’t need flying and long buses to access the trek, so the trekkers can stay near the hills for more hours than the drive. The Scenic Reward in Mardi Trek 1. Stunning Close-Up Views of Machapuchare (Fishtail Mountain) One of the highlights of the Mardi Himal Trek is probably one of the highlights of being so close to Machapuchare, or Fishtail Mountain, as it is popularly referred to because of its 2 distinct twin summits. The unclimbed and holy 6,993-meter-high mountain towers over the landscape for most of the trek. Among Nepal’s most stunning are the vistas from High Camp and especially Mardi Viewpoint. 2. Walk Along a High Mountain Ridge And though your gorge hike crossing the river-spanned by a slope, is a counterpoint, Mardi Himal is a ridge line hiking challenge trek throughout. Your walking squad will enjoy 360-degree viewpoints – a rock gorge sloping precipitously away into something unimaginable within one horizon, and white-tipped peaks rising to jut out aggressively. 3. Quiet Trails & Less Crowded Route Mardi Himal is a less-crowded trail for a person who seeks sheer wilderness and solitude without even a glimpse of Annapurna Base Camp or Everest trekkers. The trek was popular in recent years but poorly planned, off-the-beaten-path, and serene environments, secondary to trekking tourism. You can hike for days and never encounter another group of tourists, particularly during shoulder peak season. 4. Rich Biodiversity in Rhododendron Forests Trek time is spent hiking beneath gigantic rhododendron forests, oaks, maples, and moss trees! While traversing through the spring season (March-April), your rainbow steps would cover tramping above blooming red, pink, and white shades of rhododendrons. Flora and fauna in the Himalaya, including the Danphe (national bird of Nepal), langurs, and other wildlife, inhabit the forests. Conclusion of Mardi Trek The Mardi Himal Trek is a beautiful landscape with diversified ecosystems, combined with peaceful trekking. Actually, this trek should be perfect for those who seek to absorb the beauty of the Annapurna region without meeting crowds. It is very well-prepared for the trek and surely makes your journey truly memorable, with lifelong unforgettable memories of the Himalayan wilderness.
