Mardi Himal Trek route starts from the foothills of Annapurna. It takes you along the high ridges to Mardi Himal from where one can witness some fantastic views of mountains like Annapurna Himal, Dhaulagiri Himal, Manaslu Himal, and Dhaulagiri Himal with other adjacent peaks in the regions.

Mardi Trek by Heaven Himalaya is one of the easiest and best short treks in Nepal. But in terms of natural glory, Mardi Himal is nothing less than any other treks in the Annapurna region. Besides, the trekking courses are unspoiled and full of surprises on the way. As the Mardi Himal trekking trails go around the Mardi Himal, we need not repeat the same route in the whole trekking journey, so you don't feel traveling on the same route twice.

Heaven Himalaya takes you through various ethnic villages inhabited by people from a different ethnic group. It’s truly an insightful phenomenon to interact with locals and get to know more about their cultures, custom, festivals, lifestyle, and practices.
