One of the trending destinations of Annapurna region treks is Mardi Himal Trek. It is famous for being a short but slightly challenging trekking destination among trekkers. The gorgeous and breathtaking mountain peaks filled with snow make the Mardi Himal (5,587 m) popular peaks in the Annapurna range.
The Mardi Himal trek gives you the best taste of nature. Trekkers looking for a chance to enjoy the wilderness and a feeling of solidarity, Mardi Himal Trek is the ideal option. The trail begins from Phedi with a mild uphill and weaves through a paddy field, a beautiful rhododendron forest, and communal villages. The well-marked trail climbs along stone-paved trails and intersects beautiful villages inhabited by the Gurung, Tamang, and Magar communities, indigenous to the mid-hills of Nepal.
As you eventually make your way alongside ridges and get closer to the Mardi base camp, greenery becomes rare, but the vivid Machhapuchchhre (Fishtail) and Mardi peak along the horizon invigorate the trekkers’ spirits. From the viewpoint above the High Camp, you can witness Himchuli (6,441m), Annapurna III (7,555m), Gangapurna (7,454m), Machhapuchchhre (6,997m) and Mardi (5,553m). Rare animal and bird sightings.
A major section of the trail lies inside the biologically diverse Annapurna Conservation Area. Rare birds and animal species are known to frequent the forests and the high mountains of the Mardi trekking route. Although several medium to short trails directed to the Annapurna Base camp exist and are frequently walked, the Mardi Himal trek with its distinct charm, seclusion, and easier trail appeals to trekkers of varying degrees of experience and skill.
Mardi Himal Trek Trip Highlights
- Rewarding mountain views within a short moderately challenging trek
- The astounding Mardi viewpoint that places you right in front of Himchuli (6,441m), Annapurna III (7,555m), Gangapurna (7,454m), Machhapuchchhre or Fishtail (6,997m) and Mardi (5,553m). Mt. Machhapuchchhre seems incredibly within reach from here.
- Cultural exploration at villages like Dhampus and Deurali are beautifully placed in front of pleasant panoramic views
- The Mardi Himal Trek is relatively less crowded offering a quieter and more relaxed trekking experience with serene camp locations
- Plenty of walking through charming forested trails is a definite highlight, especially lush Rhododendron forests appearing quite vivid during springtime
