Mardi Himal Trek is the best-kept secret in the heart of the Annapurna region. Located eastwards of the classic ABC Trek, this adventure is one of the best short treks in the Himalayas of Nepal. The rugged trail of Mardi Himal is adorned with rhododendron forest, stone-built teahouses, diverse landscapes, high valleys, and majestic mountains.
Our 7-day itinerary for the Mardi Himal Trek is an excellent choice for trekkers who are short on time but do not want to compromise the authentic Himalayan experience. You'll get to savor the stunning sight of the mountains, including Annapurna Massif, Machhapuchhre, Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, and Lamjung Himal. The trail to Mardi Himal Base Camp is considerably less crowded than Annapurna Base Camp or the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek.
Your adventure begins with a 25-minute flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara. Furthermore, you'll drive from Pokhara to Kande and start the trek to the Annapurna region's most isolated trails. On the way to Mardi Himal Base Camp, you'll walk past several famous villages, including Australian Base Camp, Pothana, Deurali, Forest Camp, and Badal Danda. Upon reaching the base camp, you'll get to marvel at the closest possible view of Machhapuchhre Himal. In the distance, you'll see massive ice fields and glaciers gliding from the wall of Annapurna.
At an elevation of 4,500 meters, Mardi Himal Base Camp marks as the highest elevation point of the trek. Moreover, this trek also treasures a few excellent destinations for stargazing. If you are keen on looking at the constellations, the High Camp, Low Camp, and Badal Danda are the ideal spots where you can do so. After the trek, you'll also get the opportunity to explore Pokhara and soak into the diversity of this beautiful valley.
The teahouses in Mardi Himal Trek are reasonably comfortable that provide all the necessary services, such as cozy rooms, meals, WiFi, charging facilities, and hot showers.
The 7-days Mardi Himal Trek itinerary is ideal for both beginners and experienced trekkers, who are looking for an authentic experience of trekking in Nepal. Furthermore, you can also extend the Mardi Himal Trek with the classic Annapurna Base Camp Trek or the Trek to Ghorepani Poon Hill.

Is Mardi Himal Trek Right For You?
- On average, on Mardi Himal Trek, you will have to regularly walk around five to six hours on the rugged trails of Annapurna. If you think daily walking for such a long hour is not a problem, you’ll be able to pull this through. However, make sure to put proper training and preparation before you pack your bags and head to the Himalayas.The most effective way to train for the trek is to go for short hikes around your city and engage in as many cardio-related activities like running, jogging, swimming, and cycling, at least a month before the trek.
- Even though Mardi Himal Trek is a moderate trek in terms of difficulty, trekking in this region is no walk in the park. You will be hiking up to the elevation of 4,500 meters at Mardi Himal Base Camp and sleeping at the altitude of 3,540 meters for two nights.Not only that, but you will also have to walk past a few challenging sections on the upper reaches of the trek. Therefore, this demands both physical as well as mental preparedness. Prior trekking experience always helps when it comes to high altitude treks. However, this trek is achievable even for first-time trekkers with the right amount of training and preparation.
- Keep in mind that you will be gaining approximately 300 to 800 meters altitude daily on this trek. Also, you will be starting this adventure at an altitude of 827 meters at Pokhara and walking up to 4,500 meters at Mardi Himal Base Camp. Such vast altitudinal variation poses a higher risk of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS). Make sure your body and mind can cope with such altitude gain.We highly recommend taking all the necessary precautions to reduce the chances of altitude sickness on the trek. Make sure you do not rush towards the destination! Always walk at the pace that feels most comfortable and keep yourself hydrated.
- Remember, Mardi Himal Trek is not a luxurious holiday package. You will only stay in three-star hotels in Kathmandu and Pokhara during the trip. While trekking in the mountains, the accommodation facilities are not as comfortable as it is in the city areas. You will be staying in small tea houses throughout the trek.The teahouse is a small lodging facility that only provides basic amenities. You will have rooms on a twin-share basis, a warm blanket, delicious food, WiFi, hot shower, and charging facilities. So, if you are one of those travelers who can adapt to such basic accommodation facilities, this trek will suit you quite well.
Do not forget, the weather in the mountains is unpredictable, especially at the higher altitude. You never know when you might have to encounter terrible weather while trekking in the Himalayas. On the upper reaches of Mardi Himal Trek, you might have to bear extreme cold weather, heavy rainfalls, or even snowy conditions in the worst case. So stay aware of such unforeseeable situations and be prepared to tackle them.
Moreover, wear enough layers to keep yourself warm and pack weather protection gear to keep you protected from the harsh conditions, even while trekking in spring or autumn.

Important Notes
- Although Mardi Himal Trek is moderately difficult, there are a few extremely challenging sections you’ll have to live through on this trek. Therefore, it is mandatory to have proper travel insurance before heading to the Himalayas. We recommend buying insurance that covers all the necessary expenses, including helicopter evacuation, medical charges, accident, theft, and trip cancelation.
- Bear in mind, in emergencies, your trekking guide will be the in-charge of the trek! He is fully liable to make necessary changes in plans and itinerary on the road if required. If the guide notices any health concerns or any unforeseeable situation, he will make the necessary changes or delays to the itinerary to ensure your safety and the trek’s success.
- While trekking in the Himalayas, we recommend you carry a universal travel adapter to charge your camera, mobile phone, or any other electronic appliances. Usually, the teahouses in the Himalayas use type C plug for charging sockets. It may not be compatible with the adapter of your charger. In such a case, you may end up not being able to charge any of your devices throughout the trek.
- As Mardi Himal Trek is moderately difficult, most trekkers tend to take it way too lightly and neglect it. Remember, you will be trekking up to 4,500 meters at Mardi Himal Base Camp, which means the risk of altitude sickness is relatively higher. Not only that but on the upper reaches of the trek, there are also a few extremely challenging sections.Therefore, this trek demands both mental as well as physical fitness. So, we highly advise you to engage in cardio-related exercises, such as swimming, running, biking, and jogging, at least a month prior to the trek.
- Carry enough cash! Before heading to the mountains, we suggest you carry enough money to cover all your additional expenses for Mardi Himal Trek. You can find plenty of ATM lounges and credit card services around Kathmandu and Pokhara. However, once you begin the trek, you will not find any ATMs or credit card services during the trek. Therefore, make sure to dispense adequate cash in either Kathmandu or Pokhara.
- Keep in mind that the teahouse in the upper regions of Mardi Himal does not have access to hydroelectricity. Most teahouses use solar energy as the only source of electricity. So, power in these regions may not be reliable all the time. Make sure to carry a portable charger as an alternative energy source to charge your electronic appliances, in case the power supply is not sufficient.

We expect this session to be as interactive as possible. So, don’t hesitate to ask your guide questions to clarify any concerns regarding the trek. Remember, this is also a meet and greet session. So, try to bond with the rest of the members of the group.
We recommend packing your bags before going to bed to avoid the rush in the morning. If there’s anything you want to leave at the hotel, keep it separate from your trekking bags.
Day 2: Flight from Kathmandu (1,350m/4,429ft) to Pokhara (827m/2,713ft). Drive to Kande (1,770m/5,807ft), and Trek to Pitam Deurali (2,100m/6,889ft)
On this day, you’ll catch an early morning plane from Kathmandu to Pokhara. The 25-minutes flight to the City of Lakes offers an aerial perspective of the city, several villages, grassy hills, and rugged mountains. Once you land at the airstrip of Pokhara, you’ll catch a private transport arranged by Nepal Social Treks and drive to Kande, the starting point of your trek. It takes about an hour to reach Kande from Pokhara.
Upon reaching Kande, you’ll start the trek with a steep climb on the stone-paved staircase. Along the way, you’ll walk past numerous small villages, terraced fields, and dense forests. You will reach the small hamlet at the Australian Camp for after almost an hour of the strenuous climb from Kande. From the top of this small hilltop, you’ll get to marvel at the stunning panorama of Annapurna Massif, Machhapuchhre, Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, and Lamjung Himal.
From Australian Camp, you’ll descend through a forested trail towards the small Gurung village of Pothana. You’ll continue the walk on this route until you reach Pitam Deurali. It takes two hours to reach Pitam Deurali from the hamlet of Australian Camp.

After breakfast, we depart from Pitam Deurali and make our way towards Low Camp. We begin the walk through the forested trail under the shades of rhododendron, birch, and oak trees. As you walk further into the forest, the trail emerges to a small teahouse settlement of Forest Camp.
Once you walk past the village, you will once again enter the densely forested path. However, the trail becomes much steeper and narrow from the Forest Camp. As you continue climbing the strenuous uphill, the surrounding biodiversity gradually transforms into a ‘cloud forest’ with tree ferns, mosses, and lichens covering the area.
You’ll occasionally get a glimpse of Machhapuchhre, Annapurna South and Hiunchuli in the distance through the thick woodland. You’ll continue the walk through the forested trail until you reach the overnight destination at Low Camp.
Highlights
- Walk under the shades of rhododendron, birch, and oak trees
- Enjoy the distant sight of Machhapuchhre, Annapurna South and Hiunchuli along the way

Day 4: Trek from Low Camp (2,990m/9,809ft) to High Camp (3,540m/11,614ft)
On this day, you begin the walk on a gradual path from Low Camp towards the Middle Camp. As you walk further from the Middle Camp, the stunning view of Machhapuchhre, Annapurna, and Hiunchuli decorate the trail. You will see the sight of Modi Khola Valley spreading across the Annapurna Sanctuary if you glance towards the left.
You’ll then reach a small settlement of Badal Danda. Travelers regard this tiny settlement amid a dense forest as the most favorable spot to witness the Northern sight of Machhapuchhre. You’ll also get to relish the close-up view of Annapurna South, Hiuchuli, and Mardi Himal from here.
You’ll continue the trek further uphill through the forested trail from Badal Danda. After an hour or so, you’ll leave the trailing behind as the forested trail opens up into a grassy ridge. You continue the walk along the narrow path of the ridge, overlooking the marvelous sight of mountains up ahead, and the valleys down below until you reach High Camp.
Located at an elevation of 3,540 meters, High Camp is the highest sleepover point of the Mardi Himal Trek. Upon reaching this teahouse settlement, you can relax at the teahouse enjoying the close-up view of the surrounding Himalayas.
Highlights
- Traverse through the dense woodland of Annapurna region
- Marvel at the Northern sight of Machhapuchhre from Badal Danda
- Witness the change in vegetation from dense forest to the wide ridgeline of Mardi Himal

Day 5: Morning Hike to Mardi Himal Base Camp (4,500m/14,763ft) and Return Back to High Camp (3,540m/11,614ft)
This day marks as the most significant highlight of the Mardi Himal Trek. On this day, you will be hiking to the foothills of Mardi Himal. You’ll begin the adventure early at dawn and head off towards the Mardi Himal Upper View Point. The route from High Camp to the Upper View Point is dangerous and challenging as you’ll have to climb over a steep ridge.
You’ll reach the Upper Viewpoint of Mardi Himal right on time to witness the glorious sunrise over the mighty Machhapuchhre. In addition to that, the Annapurna South and Hiunchuli appear ever so close towards the left side.
After enjoying the epic sunrise over the Himalayas, you’ll continue the hike from the Upper View Point towards the Mardi Himal Base Camp. As you head further along the ridgeline, the route becomes narrower and steeper progressively until you reach the base camp.
From Mardi Himal Base Camp, the sight of Machhapuchhre Himal becomes much more impressive and substantial. The crest of Mardi Himal will be the only thing that separates you from the Southern face of the mountain. You’ll also see the vast ice fields and glaciers gliding from the wall of Annapurna Sanctuary in the distance.
After spending an amazing time at Mardi Himal Base Camp, you’ll retrace your route to High Camp via the Upper View Point. The trail to High Camp is steep and slippery. Therefore, we advise you to stay cautious with every step while descending from the Upper View Point towards High Camp.
Highlights
- Witness the majestic sunrise over Machhapuchhre from Upper View Point
- Stand at the foothills of Mardi Himal
- Relish the close-up view of Annapurna and Hiunchuli
- Savor at the ice fields and glaciers falling down the wall of Annapurna
Special Note
Remember, you will be reaching the Upper View Point of Mardi Himal for the sunrise view. So, you’ll need to wake up at dawn and hit the trail as early as possible. Therefore, we highly recommend you to carry a torch or a headlamp to keep track of the route in the dark. Additionally, you should also consider wearing a warm jacket, gloves, and a beanie to keep yourself warm in the morning. Before you leave the teahouse, make sure to fill your water bottle as you might need it on your way to the base camp.
Day 6: Trek from High Camp (3,540m/11,614ft) to Sidhing (1,700m/5,577ft)
After the long strenuous hike to Mardi Himal Base Camp the day before, you’ll begin the day with a hearty breakfast at High Camp. After breakfast, you’ll hit the and descend towards Badal Danda. Upon reaching Badal Danda, the open sky route changes into the dense forest as you retrace the route towards Low Camp via the Middle Camp.
As you walk a little further from Low Camp, you’ll arrive at an intersection that separates the route to Forest Camp and Sidhing. You’ll take the different route and head downhill towards Sidhing. As you edge closer to the village and further away from the mountains, the trail emerges from the dense forest onto the wide valleys and terraced fields. After about six hours of gradual walk from the High Camp, you will reach the traditional Gurung village of Sidhing.
Highlights
- Enjoy the gradual walk after the strenuous hike the day before
- Trudge through the forested trails of Annapurna

Day 7: Trek from Sidhing (1,700m/5,577ft) to Lumre (1,206m/3,956ft) and Drive to Pokhara (827m/2,713ft)
On this day, you will conclude the trek with a three-hours walk from Sidhing to Lumre, where the road to Pokhara connects. The trail to Lumre is relatively short and comfortable. Along the way, you will walk past a few popular villages, including Kalimati and Ghale Gaun.
Once you reach Lumre, you will catch a private transport arranged by Nepal Social Treks and drive back to Pokhara. It takes about two hours from Lumre to reach Pokhara. The roads are not well-paved, making the ride jolting and bumpy at times. On the way to Pokhara, you will get to enjoy the breathtaking view of mountains, hills, valleys, traditional villages, and terraced farms.
Upon reaching the beautiful city of Pokhara, the representative of Nepal Social Treks will drop you off at the hotel. You will have the rest of the day for yourself. In Pokhara, you will have an array of fancy restaurants, souvenir shops, local shops, trekking stores, cafes, and bars to choose from. You can also take a walk around the Lakeside and relax at the shore of Phewa Lake with the distant sight of the Machhapuchhre Himal and Annapurna range.

Nar phu valley trek with Kamal guide, perfect!
My partner and I went on a 9-day trek in the Nar and Phu Valley. Our Kamal guide was just perfect! Professional and very nice, he accompanied us along with the porter Prim throughout the itinerary, adapting it to our needs and desires. I don't think we could have fallen into better hands than Kamal, he promptly solved all the little problems we encountered, he was fantastic as was the porter Prim. Amazing experience thank you!
Nepal Social Treks Review
I’ve just completed the 15 day Everest Base Camp trek with Nepal Social Treks and can’t praise the company, guide & porter highly enough. My guide in particular, Lhakpa was an absolute star who could not do enough to make the time away as comfortable as possible. Considerate, knowledgeable, funny, kind & inspiring. I genuinely don’t think I could have completed the trek without their support! A lifetime ambition completed thanks :)
EBC by Gokyo
If you are planning to do the EBC, the Agency should be Nepal Social Trek and the Guide should be Santa Thabir Magar. Permanent communication during trekking and excellent coordination at all times. The alternative I recommend is Gokyo. Something heavier than the classic, but definitely extraordinary. Also the views of the great mountains during the circuit, are not to forget them
Ho prenotato il viaggio dall'italia. C'è stato qualche problema non dovuto all'agenzia perchè non sono partiti voli per giorni per l'everest e loro prontamente hanno sistemato tutto. Narayan, la mia guida e amrit il mio porter sono stati fantastici. Grazie grazie grazie

FAQs about Mardi Himal Trek
Are there provisions for ATMs or credit cards on the trek?
You can only have access to ATM services in Kathmandu and Pokhara. There are plenty of ATM lounges and credit card services around the streets of Thamel in Kathmandu and around Lakeside in Pokhara. However, once you go beyond the city area and start trekking in the Himalayas, you will not have any access to any of these facilities.
Therefore, we recommend you dispense the necessary cash in Kathmandu, as far as possible. But, if you do not make it in Kathmandu, Pokhara is going to be your last resort to dispense the cash. Besides, the teahouses in Mardi Himal do not accept foreign currencies. So, all the payments will require local rupees. If you only have foreign currency, make sure to exchange them into local cash before the trek. Like ATM services, you can also get plenty of exchange centers in Kathmandu and Pokhara.
Can I have a shower on the Mardi Himal trek?
Yes! You can get both cold as well as hot showers during Mardi Himal Trek. Almost every tea house and lodge in this region offers a shower facility. Normally, the hot showers of most tea houses are gas or solar-powered. But, some teahouses do not offer such facilities. In such a case, you might have to reconcile yourself with the bucket bath. The teahouses will charge you an additional amount, ranging from $2 to $5 for hot showers.
