Mardi Himal Trekking

Kathmandu has a unique aura at the beginning of the day when the capital is slowly awakening yet not becoming too chaotic. It's a fantastic time to go guided sightseeing of UNESCO world heritages sites in the Kathmandu valley which includes magical places like Swayambhunath also known as the Monkey Temple, Patan Durbar Square, Bouddhanath Stupa and the spiritual Pashupatinath Temple. After Returning get some rest and be ready for the drive to Pokhara.

After breakfast, depart from Kathmandu and travel by land to Pokhara. Follow the Trisuli River's shores along the way, passing through traditional communities and terraced farmland. If the weather cooperates, there will be stunning views of the Himalayas when you reach Pokhara.

After breakfast, drive roughly about 45 minutes from Pokhara toward the trek's starting site. From Phedi (1000m) we then begin the trek towards Dhampus (1,600m).

Hiking from Phedi to Dhampus is enjoyable. It's simple; an averagely fit individual can do it with little effort. Once there, you would unwind by wandering around the village, admiring the inhabitants at work, practicing farming, and raising livestock is an excellent way to spend your time. We then stay overnight at a guesthouse after the hike of around 4 hours.

Today's walk departs into the woods, leaving behind travelers, other hikers, and even villages. Enter a magical forest filled with birch, gigantic rhododendron, alpine forests, oak trees, maple, and hemlock. Trekking will provide gorgeous mountain vistas whenever the weather is clear. We will reach the Forest Camp (2,480m) after hiking for around five hours we will be staying overnight at a guesthouse.

The flora changes to classic 'cloud forest' as the trail climbs, including lichens, mosses, varieties of orchids, and tree ferns housed by the tougher trees. There are numerous spontaneous windows in the forests that lead to breathtaking views of Hiuchuli as well as the knife-sharp crossing to Annapurna South. To your left, you will find the Modi Khola Valley, which leads up toward the Annapurna Sanctuary.

After a hike of roughly six hours, we will arrive at Low Camp (3,150m) for lunch, this is the point of departure for the day, and enjoy the afternoon acclimating at altitude. Despite being surrounded by woodland, there are stunning views of the increasingly near 'Fishtail' to the north. Finally, we end our day at a guesthouse.

It's only a short, hard ascent out of the woodland. A grassy ridge, sometimes covered in snow, climbs upward to High Camp (4,100m). Arriving at the High Camp you can enjoy acclimating with breathtaking views. Annapurna South will appear to be just a few feet away, while Machhapuchare will appear close enough for you to feel. The Hiking time for today is going to be about 6 hours and we will be staying at a guesthouse overnight.

The plan for today is After an early breakfast, depart to Mardi Himal Base Camp. If the weather cooperates, you will hike up to 16,404 feet (5000 meters), where just the peak of Mardi Himal divides you from the southern face of Machhapuchare. Then we return to the guest house and stay overnight

After breakfast, descend 5249 feet (1600 meters) into the cool shade of the jungle and out into the terraced fields. You'll take a separate path down towards the upper Mardi Khola, a raging river that was once the Mardi Himal's ice and snow. Your adventure now continues through the valley passing friendly settlements towards Siding Village, despite being isolated yet remaining off the usual 'tea-house' trekking trails. The hike is gonna be around 5 hours for the day and we will be resting overnight at a guesthouse.

From Siding, the trail eventually follows the path of the river's valley, descending between the grasslands, and via Tamang and Gurung settlements. You'll eventually arrive at Lumre village, your overnight stop. Organic tea gardens can be found here. Then we will be driving back to Pokhara (800m) to your hotel and end the day.

Today we will be exploring the charm of the beautiful city of Pokhara. We will explore caves, waterfalls, and the serene Seti River. Enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Himalayas and the vibrant Lakeside life. It is optional to go on a thrilling adventure in Pokhara in the afternoon, such as paragliding, an avia flight, or bungee jumping.

Today is the day when we leave the beautiful city of Pokhara behind and head toward Kathmandu. After a drive of around 7 hours on a tourist bus, you can spend the night at your hotel in Kathmandu.

This marks the end of a fantastic Mardi Himal trekking adventure. Depending on the time available, you may visit the local market to purchase souvenirs; otherwise, we will go directly to the Tribhuwan International Airport (TIA) for your departure or to your additional destinations.
