What people love about Mardi Himal Tours
- Mardi Himal Trek
Special thanks to our porter! He was the best! Always friendly although he had to carry a lot. We would love to see him as a guide soon! Nevertheless it would have been better if we would have get an email that tells us that we can leave some of our stuff in pokhara. Furthermore a packing list would have been great. In our opinion it’s possible to do the track faster
Mardi Himal Trek, highly recommended for those having less time and in the mean time for the excellent views. Wonderful tour plus trek program
Mardi Himal (Off The Beaten) Trek
- Mardi Himal Trek-12 Days
It was my second time in Nepal. In April i did Everest Base Camp trek and it was so nice and wonderful. This time my propose to visit Nepal for Business but i didn't like to go back with out some small hike around Mountains where i can see greenery, Mountains, Local Peoples, Lifestyle of Nepali Peoples and landscapes. Then i choose Mardi Himal. I booked through by Eco Holidays Nepal. Definitely its not best time for viewing Mountains because of bit cloud but its time for take some different experience with rain. Eco Holidays arranged my all necessary documents and provided excellent Guide Sagar. We completed this trek with in 6 days with out any problems. Myself enjoyed lots and feel refreshed. Absolutely its best trekking route which covered high mountains scenery with low land and different landscape. I highly recommended this trekking trail and Eco Holidays Nepal as well as my Guide Sagar.
What our customers ask about Mardi Himal Tours & Trips
When is the best time to visit Mardi Himal Country Region?
The region sees its best conditions from March to May and September to November with optimal visibility and temperatures. Spring brings a colorful display of rhododendrons along paths that lead to views of towering peaks including Annapurna I (8091m) Dhaulagiri (8163m) and Machhapuchre (6991m). The routes see fewer visitors than nearby Annapurna circuits making it possible to walk through villages like Deurali and Forest Camp in relative peace. As one TourRadar traveler mentioned "The views in spring were absolutely stunning with blooming rhododendrons and crystal clear mountain vistas."
What are the accommodation options in Mardi Himal Country Region?
Travelers can find lodging that ranges from simple teahouses to full-service hotels depending on location. Pokhara offers properties like Hotel Peninsula with lake views while the trek route provides basic teahouses in Forest Camp Low Camp (3150m) and High Camp (3900m). Higher elevation stays typically mean shared bathrooms and simpler amenities though Low Camp provides memorable views of Mt. Machhapuchhre. A TourRadar traveler notes "The teahouses were simple but clean and the warm hospitality of the local Gurung people made the experience truly special."
What are the must-see highlights of Mardi Himal Country Region?
The centerpiece of the region is Mardi Himal Base Camp at 4500m which offers views of Annapurna South (7219m) Hiunchuli (6441m) and the distinctive Fish Tail peak. The route takes travelers through dense rhododendron forests past Gurung settlements like Sidhing village and up to sunrise viewing points at High Camp (3900m). According to a TourRadar traveler "The highlight was definitely reaching the Upper Viewpoint at 4250m - the panoramic view of the entire Annapurna range was absolutely breathtaking making every step of the journey worthwhile."

Standard packages provide English-speaking guides porter service (one porter for two trekkers) required permits including TIMS and Annapurna Conservation Area access teahouse lodging three daily meals transport between Kathmandu and Pokhara and city hotel stays. A TourRadar traveler noted "The package was comprehensive with excellent guide service and comfortable accommodations at Hotel Peninsula in Pokhara making the entire journey hassle-free."
What kind of weather conditions should I expect in Mardi Himal?
The climate shifts dramatically with elevation changes. Pokhara at 820m maintains warm temperatures while High Camp at 3900m often drops below freezing after dark. Spring months (March-May) bring mild days and clear mornings while autumn (September-November) offers the most stable conditions. One TourRadar traveler shared "The weather was quite unpredictable - warm and sunny during day hikes through the forest but quite cold at High Camp so proper layering was essential."
What cultural experiences can I expect in Mardi Himal?
The path leads through Gurung communities where traditional life continues in villages like Sidhing and Landruk. Visitors can taste authentic Nepali dishes see centuries-old architecture and walk past prayer flags on ancient trading paths. As one TourRadar traveler remarked "The interaction with local Gurung families in Sidhing village sharing their traditional meals and learning about their customs was an unexpected highlight of our trek."
