Fundamental mountain view of the Annapurna region, isolated culture, and geographical diversity can observe in the Mardi Himal trek. The Mardi Himal is located at the east of Modi Khola River, across the valley of Hiunchuli. The trail goes along the small paths through the rhododendron forest which leads to an unexpected change into the landscape of rough high mountains. This is where you will get the perfect and amazing views of Mardi Himal, Machhapuchre, Annapurna South and Hiunchuli. Mardi Himal trek is not considered as a physically challenging trek, so it would be easier for new trekkers to start. Untouched by much of modernization, this route is a unique experience offering you with glorious mountain views and a chance to endeavor into thick forests, mountain wilderness, and villages that hasn’t felt the full impact of tourism. Along the trail, further 3-4 hours climb leads you to Mardi Himal base camp where you will be brought to extravagant views of some of the world’s biggest and most beautiful peaks; Dhaulagiri (8167m), Mt. Annapurna (8091m), Annapurna II (7937m), Annapurna III (7555m), Annapurna IV (7525m), Annapurna South (7219m), Hiunchuli (6441m) and Machhapuchre (Fishtail Mountain) (6988m), etc. we camp every night of this trek allowing you to sleep under the stars and the watchful eyes of majestic Himalayas.
