About Mardi Himal Trekking

Mardi Himal trekking is relatively a newly discovered trekking trail in the heart of the Annapurna region. The serene and tranquil trekking route similar to Ghorepani-Poonhill trekking offering spectacular mountain view of the Annapurna Himalayan range including the popular Machhapuchhre ( Fish- Tail) mountain. Choosing Mardi Himal trekking means a rewarding opportunity to escape crowded trekking routes like other popular trekking routes in Nepal. It is actually located between Annapurna Base Camp trek and Ghorepani Poonhill Trek. Located between two popular trekking trails, Mardi Himal trekking lets you trekkers experience something quite amazing like serenity, tranquillity, splendid mountain views, unique flora, and faunas. The ascends and descends, the magnificent landscapes make this trekking more rewarding. The availability of accommodations is rare as fewer numbers of tea houses and hotels are in use.

The walkthrough rhododendron forest, unspoiled nature, typical ethnic settlements, culture and hospitality, and the classical route are some other highlights of this trek. Mardi Himal Base Camp is situated under the majestic Machhapuchhre Himal or Fishtail peak. The views along the route are just superb; including Annapurna South, Machhapuchhre, Mardi Himal, and Hiunchuli.

The best experience of my life

Thank you Himalaya Hub for organizing such an amazing adventure! It was an incredible first experience in Nepal, and thanks to the work of Puru and the team, we did not have to stress about anything at all. Response time from Puru was excellent, which made planning a breeze. We also contacted them only a few weeks before our trip so we appreciate how quickly they brought everything together. All accommodations and transportation options were great, and overall the treak itself was well planned and paced. And an extra special shout out to our fantastic guide Sandip!!!!!!! What a saint. This man was not only knowledgable about the mountain, but he was SO PATIENT in having to deal with my sister and I slowly dragging ourselves up this mountain. Couldn't have asked for better company and a better support! I could not be more pleased with the service from Himalaya Hub and I could not say nicer things about everyone involved on the team. I will definitely be using them again on my future treks in Nepal, and I 100% suggest them to anyone looking for a guide for their Trek.

Really good!

We came across this travelling agency while strolling through Kathmandu and went in to acquire some general info about trekking. Puru (the owner) informed us very extensively and clearly on what treks fit our schedule and wishes the best and recommended us the Mardi himal Basecamp trek (most height in least amount of days plus amazing views). It was very easy to negotiate the price (we're students on a budget) by choosing for cheaper options for some things like transport. We chose to do the 6 nights 7 days version of the trek to be able to also sleep in homestays the last days. Our guide (Dipak, ask for him! Really great person) was super sweet, helpfull and funny although still working on his English. During the trek it was possible to slightly change the itinerary to our wishes (we walked a lot faster than indicated and took a scenic detour). Having a guide might not have been necessary for being able to do the trek, but it was really, really enjoyable because of his knowledge about the area/mountains, his stories (personal and informative) and as a contact person for other Nepali.

The trek itself was tough but certainly not undoable and gave amazing views of the Machhapuchchhre and the Annapurna mountain range.

Amazing

Beyond perfect
We booked a 10 days Poonhill and Mardi Himal Trek with Puru from Himalaya Hub Adventures and already the first consultation gave us a highly competent and safe feeling about the trip.
Then we met our guide Rupesh a true gem who really turned from initially our guide over those days into a great friend.
After a nice drive to Pokhara we started our Trek on which we had the chance of a small glimpse of the immense beauty that Nepal has to offer. From beautiful Jungle over hot water springs to the majestic mountains that go beyond words. Also the tea houses that Rupesh selected had amazing food and comfortable beds.
We can highly recommend the trip to anyone.
One thing is sure we will book again with himalaya hub!
And don't forget to ask for Rupesh while booking.
